Zend Db query to select all IDs - zend-framework

Question

How would I write an Zend DB query to select all from the column ID?
So far I have tried:
public function getLatestUserID()
{
$ids = $this->select()
->where('id = ?');
return $ids;
}
But to no avail.

Answer 1

You just want the id column,
You failed to call an execute command.
try:
//assuming you are using a DbTable model
public function getLatestUserID()
{
$ids = $this->fetchAll('id');
return $ids;
}
I would do it like this, because I use the select() object for everything:
public function getLatestUserID()
{
$select = $this->select();
//I'm not sure if $this will work in this contex but you can out the table name
$select->from(array($this), array('id'));
$ids = $this->fetchAll($select);
return $ids;
}
The first two examples should return just the id column of the table, now if you actually want to query for a specific id:
public function getLatestUserID($id)
{
$select = $this->select();
$select->where('id = ?', $id);
//fetchAll() would still work here if we wanted multiple rows returned
//but fetchRow() for one row and fetchRowset() for multiple rows are probably
//more specific for this purpose.
$ids = $this->fetchRow($select);
return $ids;
}

Answer 2

make sure your class containing getLatestUserID does extend Zend_Db_Table_Abstract also :
$ids = $this->select()->where('id = ?'); can't work because where('id = ?'); expects an id value like where('id = ?', $id);
if what you want is the latest inserted row's Id use :
$lastInsertId = $this->getAdapter()->lastInsertId();
(however if you are using an oracle database this will not work and you should use $lastInsertId = $this->getAdapter()->lastSequenceId('USER_TABLE_SEQUENCE'); )
