PersistentObject: ezcPersistentSession

[ Tutorial ] [ Class tree ] [ Element index ] [ ChangeLog ] [ Credits ]

Class: ezcPersistentSession

ezcPersistentSession is the main runtime interface for manipulation of persistent objects. [source]
Persistent objects can be stored calling save() resulting in an INSERT query. If the object is already persistent you can store it using update() which results in an UPDATE query. If you want to query persistent objects you can use the find methods.

Method Summary

public ezcPersistentSession __construct( $db, $manager )
Constructs a new persistent session that works on the database $db.
public void createDeleteQuery( $class )
public ezcQuerySelect createFindQuery( $class )
Returns a select query for the given persistent object $class.
public void createUpdateQuery( $class )
public void delete( $pObject )
Deletes the persistent object $pObject.
public void deleteFromQuery( $query )
public array(object) find( $query, $class )
Returns the result of the query $query as a list of objects.
public void findIterator( $query, $class )
public object load( $class, $id )
Returns the persistent object of class $class with id $id.
public object|null loadIfExists( $class, $id )
Returns the persistent object of class $class with id $id.
public void loadIntoObject( $pObject, $id )
Loads the persistent object with the id $id into the object $pObject.
public void refresh( $pObject )
Syncronizes the contents of $pObject with those in the database.
public void save( $pObject )
Saves the new persistent object $pObject to the database using an INSERT INTO query.
public void saveOrUpdate( $pObject )
Saves or update the persistent object $pObject to the database.
public void update( $pObject )
Saves the new persistent object $pObject to the database using an UPDATE query.
public void updateFromQuery( $query )

Methods

__construct

ezcPersistentSession __construct( $db, ezcPersistentDefinitionManager $manager )
Constructs a new persistent session that works on the database $db.
The $manager provides valid persistent object definitions to the session.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$db PDO  

createDeleteQuery

void createDeleteQuery( $class )

Parameters

Name Type Description
$class  

createFindQuery

ezcQuerySelect createFindQuery( string $class )
Returns a select query for the given persistent object $class.
The query is initialized to fetch all columns from the correct table.
Example:
1.  $q $session->createFindQuery'Person' );
2.  $allPersons $session->find$q'Person' );

Parameters

Name Type Description
$class string  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentObjectException if there is no such persistent class.

createUpdateQuery

void createUpdateQuery( $class )

Parameters

Name Type Description
$class  

delete

void delete( object $pObject )
Deletes the persistent object $pObject.
This method will perform a DELETE query based on the identifier of the persistent object. After delete() the identifier in $pObject will be reset to null. It is possible to save() $pObject afterwords. The object will then be stored with a new id.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$pObject object  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentDefinitionNotFoundxception if $the object is not recognized as a persistent object.
ezcPersistentObjectNotPersistentException if the object is not persistent already.
ezcPersistentQueryException if the object could not be deleted.

deleteFromQuery

void deleteFromQuery( $query )

Parameters

Name Type Description
$query ezcQueryDelete  

find

array(object) find( $query, string $class )
Returns the result of the query $query as a list of objects.
Example:
1.  $q $session->createFindQuery'Person' );
2.  $allPersons $session->find$q'Person' );
If you are retrieving large result set, consider using findIterator() instead.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$query ezcQuerySelect  
$class string  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentDefinitionNotFoundException if there is no such persistent class.
ezcPersistentQueryException if the find query failed

findIterator

void findIterator( $query, $class )

Parameters

Name Type Description
$query ezcQuerySelect  
$class  

load

object load( string $class, int $id )
Returns the persistent object of class $class with id $id.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$class string  
$id int  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentException if the object is not available.
ezcPersistentException if there is no such persistent class.

loadIfExists

object|null loadIfExists( string $class, int $id )
Returns the persistent object of class $class with id $id.
This method is equivalent to load() except that it returns null instead of throwing an exception if the object does not exist.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$class string  
$id int  

loadIntoObject

void loadIntoObject( object $pObject, int $id )
Loads the persistent object with the id $id into the object $pObject.
The class of the persistent object to load is determined by the class of $pObject.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$pObject object  
$id int  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentException if the object is not available.
ezcPersistentDefinitionNotFoundException if $pObject is not of a valid persistent object type.
ezcPersistentQueryException if the find query failed

refresh

void refresh( object $pObject )
Syncronizes the contents of $pObject with those in the database.
Note that calling this method is equavalent with calling loadIntoObject on $pObject with the id of $pObject. Any changes made to $pObject prior to calling refresh() will be discarded.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$pObject object  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentException if $pObject is not of a valid persistent object type.
ezcPersistentException if $pObject is not persistent already
ezcPersistentException if the select query failed.

save

void save( object $pObject )
Saves the new persistent object $pObject to the database using an INSERT INTO query.
The correct ID is set to $pObject.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$pObject object  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentException if $pObject is not of a valid persistent object type.
ezcPersistentException if $pObject is already stored to the database.
ezcPersistentException if it was not possible to generate a unique identifier for the new object
ezcPersistentException if the insert query failed.

saveOrUpdate

void saveOrUpdate( object $pObject )
Saves or update the persistent object $pObject to the database.
If the object is a new object an INSERT INTO query will be executed. If the object is persistent already it will be updated with an UPDATE query.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$pObject object  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentException if $pObject is not of a valid persistent object type.
ezcPersistentException if any of the definition requirements are not met.
ezcPersistentException if the insert or update query failed.

update

void update( object $pObject )
Saves the new persistent object $pObject to the database using an UPDATE query.

Parameters

Name Type Description
$pObject object  

Throws

ClassDescription
ezcPersistentDefinitionNotFoundException if $pObject is not of a valid persistent object type.
ezcPersistentObjectNotPersistentException if $pObject is not stored in the database already.
ezcPersistentQueryException

updateFromQuery

void updateFromQuery( $query )

Parameters

Name Type Description
$query ezcQueryUpdate
