Methods

__construct

ezcQuerySelectOracle __construct( $db )
Constructs a new ezcQueryOracle object.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$db PDO  

Redefinition of

Method Description
ezcQuerySelect::__construct() Constructs a new ezcQuery object.

alias

string alias( $name, $alias )
Returns SQL to create an alias.
This method can be used to create an alias for either a table or a column. Example: 
1.  // this will make the table users have the alias employees
2.  // and the column user_id the alias employee_id
3.   $q->select( $q->aliAs( 'user_id', 'employee_id' )
4.    ->from( $q->aliAs( 'users', 'employees' ) );

Parameters

Name Type Description
$name  
$alias  

Redefinition of

Method Description
ezcQuerySelect::alias() Returns SQL to create an alias

getDummyTableName

string getDummyTableName( )
Returns dummy table name 'dual'.

Redefinition of

Method Description
ezcQuerySelect::getDummyTableName() Returns dummy table name.

getQuery

void getQuery( )
Transforms the query from the parent to provide LIMIT functionality.

Redefinition of

Method Description
ezcQuerySelect::getQuery() Returns the complete select query.

limit

string limit( mixed $limit, [mixed $offset = 0] )
Returns SQL that limits the result set.
$limit controls the maximum number of rows that will be returned. $offset controls which row that will be the first in the result set from the total amount of matching rows.
Example: 
1.  $q->select( '*' )->from( 'table' )
2.                   ->limit( 10, 0 );
Oracle does not support the LIMIT keyword. A complete rewrite of the query is neccessary. Queries will be rewritten like this: 
1.  Original query in MySQL syntax:
2.  SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 10, 5
3.  The corresponding Oracle query:
4.  SELECT * FROM (SELECT a.*, ROWNUM rn FROM (SELECT * FROM table) a WHERE rownum <= 15) WHERE rn >= 6;
Even though the Oracle query is three times as long it performs about the same as mysql on small result sets and a bit better on large result sets.
Note that you will not get a result if you call buildLimit() when using the oracle database.

Redefinition of

Method Description
ezcQuerySelect::limit() Returns SQL that limits the result set.

reset

void reset( )
Resets the query object for reuse.

Redefinition of

Method Description
ezcQuerySelect::reset() Resets the query object for reuse.
