Question

In my new project, I decided that I will use the RedBean ORM system with CodeIgniter PHP Framework.

How can I get all records from a table with a simple relation? I know that I can use R::exec or R::getAll queries, but I want to make sure if there any other solution(s).

TABLE STRUCTURE:

languages

• id
• title

categories

• id
• language_id
• title

The field language_id in the table categories is related with the id field in the table languages.

MY GOAL:

SELECT l.title, c.* 
FROM categories AS c 
LEFT JOIN languages AS l 
    ON (c.language_id = l.id)

Any solutions?

Answer 1

list($language1, $language2, $language3) = R::dispense('language', 3);
$language1->title = "PHP";
$language2->title = "Python";
$language3->title = "Ruby";

list($category1, $category2, $category3) = R::dispense('category', 3);
$category1->title = "CodeIgniter";
$category2->title = "Django";
$category3->title = "Rails";


R::store($language1);R::store($language2);R::store($language3);
R::store($category1);R::store($category2);R::store($category3);


$category1->language = $language1;
$category2->language = $language2;
$category2->language = $language3;


R::store($category1);R::store($category2);R::store($category3);

$categories = $language1->ownCategory;
