Question

I am trying do a remote filtering of a data grid.

The grid has a textfield, where the user enters chars which are sent to the server to refresh the grid.

My problem is that I am using Propel to work with the database and I need concat two MySQL fields to do the comparison. I don’t know how do a simple where concat(firstname, ',', lastname) like '%aText%' in Propel.

I’ve tried:

$usuarios = UsuariosQuery::create()
  ->where("(concat(usuarios.apellido,' , ',usuarios.nombre)) LIKE '%?%'",$filter)
  ->orderByApellido('ASC')
  ->find();

This doesn’t work. How can I get this to work?

Answer 1

Try this according to the doc (search for concat):

$usuarios = UsuariosQuery::create()
  ->where('CONCAT(Usuarios.Apellido, ",", Usuarios.Nombre) LIKE ?', $filter)
  ->orderByApellido('ASC')
  ->find();
