public function DbtngExampleRepository::advancedLoad in Examples for Developers 3.x

Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 8 dbtng_example/src/DbtngExampleRepository.php \Drupal\dbtng_example\DbtngExampleRepository::advancedLoad()

Load dbtng_example records joined with user records.

DBTNG also helps processing queries that return several rows, providing the found objects in the same query execution call.

This function queries the database using a JOIN between users table and the example entries, to provide the username that created the entry, and creates a table with the results, processing each row.

SELECT e.pid as pid, e.name as name, e.surname as surname, e.age as age u.name as username FROM {dbtng_example} e JOIN users u ON e.uid = u.uid WHERE e.name = 'John' AND e.age > 18
