A database plugin that adds a layer over propel to bypass most of the propel limitations: * populate objects linked by any depth relationships * populate agregate/computed values * allows to have two links to the same object * retrieve an applicable sql from criteria * populate propel objects or fake objects from raw SQL Applications

sfPropelImpersonatorPlugin

Overview

sfPropelImpersonatorPlugin is full magic. It will remove all your bad thought about propel, to make you think about anything is doable with it. If you ever found a limitation to propel, maybe it could be worth reading this page.

This plugin is currently in alpha stage. Testing is inexistent, and only official working DBMS is MySQL, even if it could be working with other too

Development is very early, and what's missing here will come, but time is a rare good. If you want to give me a hand, I'll be glad to help you about it. And you have any suggestions, don't hesitate.

We'll fight the pain out of propel!

Contents

The plugin is divided into 3 major classes, each one impersonating a little part of the Propel ORM library.

sfPropelCriteriaImpersonator

This class is used to work around the Creole/PropelUtil limitations and let us retrieve the applicaple prepared SQL of a Criteria object. This is a static class and its only usage is the following:

$sql = sfPropelCriteriaImpersonator::getSql($criteria);

This may seem useless, but it then can be used to make criteria based subqueries in a Criteria::CUSTOM clause:

$mainCriteria = new Criteria();
/* ... criteria population ... */
$subCriteria = new Criteria();
/* ... sub criteria population ... */
$mainCriteria->add(MyPeer::MY_COLUMN, MyPeer::MY_COLUMN.' IN ('.sfPropelCriteriaImpersonator::getSql($subCriteria).')', Criteria::CUSTOM);

Please just keep in mind that it should not be used blindly, but only in cases you'd really need a subquery from a SQL point of view.

Current limitations: For now, only use this with MySQL database, as creole does not permit flexible extension of its PreparedStatements.

sfPropelObjectImpersonator

This class impersonates the propel Object layer, i.e your object model class. It can be used to populate fake propel objects, that an admin generator, symfony 1.0 helpers or anything using propel objects can use transparently.

The peer impersonator uses it to populate custom columns objects.

sfPropelObjectPeerImpersonator

Here is the heart of action. sfPropelObjectPeerImpersonator instances, that we'll call peer instances, are objects that will allow you to run ->doSelect(Criteria, connection) queries or custom queries. It will populate objects that may be composed of propel objects, custom columns lists, or both mixed, and link them using the DatabaseMap provided by propel schema.

->doSelect() usage

$peer = new sfPropelObjectPeerImpersonator(...result schema...);
$c = new Criteria();
$peer->addSelectColumns($c);
... criteria filling ...
$results = $peer->doSelect($c);

->setQuery() and ->doQuery() usage

$peer = new sfPropelObjectPeerImpersonator(...result schema...);
$peer->setQuery($sql);
$result = $peer->doQuery(...parameters schema...);

What's a result schema?

Result schema is a list of parameters that may be:

• a Propel object class name (i.e 'Article')

• a custom field in the form: array('creole_type', 'column_name_for_object_population')

Of course, you can mix both, but links will be present between objects if and only if Database map shows direct relations between objects. More, relations to self are not handled at this time.

What's a parameters schema?

Parameters schema is a list of values used to replace prepared '?' in the queries, in the form: array('creole_type', 'parameter_value')

Thoose parameters are recursive, so you can also mix with array('creole_type', array(...list of values)) or even array(...parameters schema...). Tryed to be flexible...

Example

$peer = new sfPropelObjectPeerImpersonator('Article', 'Author', 'AuthorI18n', 'ArticleComment');

$c = new Criteria();
$peer->addSelectColumns($c);
$c->addJoin(ArticlePeer::ID, ArticleCommentPeer::ARTICLE_ID, Criteria::LEFT_JOIN);
$c->addJoin(ArticlePeer::AUTHOR_ID, AuthorPeer::ID, Criteria::INNER_JOIN);
$c->addJoin(AuthorPeer::ID, AuthorI18nPeer::AUTHOR_ID.' AND '.AuthorI18nPeer::CULTURE.'=\*.mysql_real_escape_string($culture).'\*, Criteria::INNER_JOIN);
$c->add(AuthorPeer::VALIDATION_STATUS, true);

$results = $peer->doSelect($c);
