Question

I am trying to use Zend_Db_Select to write a select query that looks somewhat like this:

SELECT * FROM bar WHERE a = 1 AND (b = 2 OR b = 3) 

However, when using a combination of where() and orWhere(), it seems impossible to use condition grouping like the above.

Are there any native ways in Zend Framework to achieve the above (without writing the actual query?)

Answer 1

From the manual (Example 11.61. Example of parenthesizing Boolean expressions)

 // Build this query: //   SELECT product_id, product_name, price //   FROM 'products' //   WHERE (price < 100.00 OR price > 500.00) //     AND (product_name = 'Apple')  $minimumPrice = 100; $maximumPrice = 500; $prod = 'Apple';  $select = $db->select()              ->from('products',                     array('product_id', 'product_name', 'price'))              ->where('price < $minimumPrice OR price > $maximumPrice')              ->where('product_name = ?', $prod);
