Question

I want to count rows returned by subselect with Doctrine. The subselect I have is:

SELECT e FROM \comments\Entities\Event e 
WHERE e.type = 'addComment'
HAVING TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, e.commentedOnPublished, e.created) < 60)

In SQL I’d achieve the desired result with:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (
    SELECT e.* FROM square_events as e 
    WHERE e.type = 'addComment' 
    HAVING TIMESTAMPDIFF(minute, e.commentedOnPublished, e.created) < 60
) temp

Does anyone know how this could be achieved with Doctrine?

Answer 1

I’m sure I’d already tried this and a thousand other solutions, anyway this is what I ended up with after one of our systems guys pointed out I was being an idiot!

SELECT COUNT(e) as eventCount FROM comments\Entities\Event e 
WHERE e.type = 'addComment'
AND TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, e.commentedOnPublished, e.created) < 60

One of those days…
