Database Query Objects

Database Query Objects

Introduction

DQO provides an object representation of SQL database table, row and select query.

Features:

• Each database table can be described as Table class
• Enables column name completion in IDE while writing queries
• Provides a table columns enumeration as constants
• Each row returned from SELECT query can be described as Row class
• Table specific deserialization recipes can be added to corresponding Row class
• Table and Row classes code can be generated with Symfony console command
• Provides immutable DatabaseSelectBuilder for building SELECT queries

DQO is based on Doctrine DBAL and uses Doctrine Types for data deserialization and Doctrine\DBAL\Connection for query execution.

Table definition

Classes representing specific database tables. It contains enumeration of table columns as constants and simplifies field aliasing. Multiple instances can be created with different aliases.

final class UserTable extends GW\DQO\Table
{
    public const ID = 'id';
    public const EMAIL = 'email';
    public const NAME = 'name';

    public function id(): string
    {
        return $this->fieldPath(self::ID);
    }

    public function email(): string
    {
        return $this->fieldPath(self::EMAIL);
    }

    public function name(): string
    {
        return $this->fieldPath(self::NAME);
    }
    
    public function createRow(array $raw): UserRow
    {
        return new UserRow($raw, $this);
    }
}

$userTable = new UserTable('user_alias');
$userTable->table(); // "user"
$userTable->alias(); // "user_alias"
$userTable->id(); // "user_alias.id"
$userTable->selectField(UserTable::ID); // "user_alias.id as user_alias_id"

TableRow definition

Classes that can be created to unify data extracting and deserializing from corresponding table.

final class UserRow extends ClientRow
{
    public function id(): UserId
    {
        return $this->getThroughType('UserId', UserTable::ID);
    }

    public function name(): string
    {
        return $this->getString(UserTable::NAME);
    }

    public function email(): Email
    {
        return Email::fromString($this->getString(UserTable::EMAIL));
    }

    public function optionalSecondEmail(): ?Email
    {
        return $this->getThrough([Email::class, 'fromString'], UserTable::OPTIONAL_SECOND_EMAIL);
    }

    public function about(): ?string
    {
        return $this->getNullableString(UserTable::NAME);
    }
}

$userTable = new UserTable();
$userRow = new UserRow($rowFromQuery, $userTable);

Building SELECT query with DatabaseSelectBuilder

DatabaseSelectBuilder simplifies construction of SELECT statements using Table objects.

/** @var Doctrine\DBAL\Connection $connection */
$builder = new GW\DQO\DatabaseSelectBuilder($connection);

$meTable = new UserTable('me');
$friendTable = new UserTable('friend');

$builder
    ->from($meTable)
    ->join($friendTable, "{$friendTable->id()} = {$meTable->friendId()}")
    ->where("{$meTable->username()} = :me", ['me' => 'John Doe'])
    ->select($friend->name())
    ->offsetLimit(0, 10);

SELECT column aliases

By default TableRow expects that table column used in SELECT part has alias as follows: table_alias.column_name as table_alias_column_name.

There are 2 ways to create such alias:

• Use Table methods creating column aliases

  $table = new UserTable();
  
  $builder = $builder->select(...$table->select(UserTable::ID, UserTable::email));
  // or
  $builder = $builder->select($table->selectField(UserTable::ID), $table->selectField(UserTable::email));
  // or
  $builder = $builder->select(...$table->selectAll());

• Use simply $table->column() when select() is after table() or join()

  $table = new UserTable();
  
  // first add $table to builder so it can recognize `user.id`, `user.email` and create valid aliases...
  $builder = $builder->from($table);
  
  // ...then simply select
  $builder = $builder->select($table->id(), $table->email());

Query parameters

Query parameters can be specified directly in where/having method or provided later.

$builder = $builder->from($user)
    ->where("{$user->name()} = :name", ['name' => 'John Doe']) 
    ->having('orders > :limit', ['limit' => 10]);

// or 

$builder = $builder->from($user)
    ->where("{$user->name()} = :name") 
    ->withParameter('name', 'John Doe');

// or

$builder = $builder->from($user)
    ->where("{$user->name()} = :name") 
    ->withParameters(['name' => 'John Doe']);

Query parameter types can be specified as where() argument.

$yesterday = new DateTime('yesterday');
$builder = $builder
    ->from($user)
    ->where("{$user->registered()} > :yesterday", ['yesterday' => $yesterday], ['yesterday' => 'datetime']); 

You can also define mapping of parameter classes to proper Doctrine type.

$start = new DateTimeImmutable('first day of last month 00:00');
$end = new DateTimeImmutable('last day of last month 23:59');
$builder = $builder
    ->withTypes([DateTimeImmutable::class => 'datetime_immutable'])
    ->from($user)
    ->where("{$user->registered()} BETWEEN :start AND :end", ['start' => $start, 'end' => $end]); 

Fetching results

/** @var array<string, mixed>|null $result one result row or null when there are no rows */
$result = $builder->fetch();

/** @var mixed|null $result one column from first result or null when no results */
$result = $builder->fetchColumn();

/** @var array<int, array<string, mixed>> $result fetch all result rows */
$result = $builder->fetchAll();

/** 
 * @var ArrayValue<array<string, mixed>> $result 
 * @see https://github.com/gowork/values
 */
$result = $builder->wrapAll();

/** @var int $result */
@result = $builder->count();

Install

composer require gowork/dqo

Setup

Symfony

Add the DatabaseAccessGeneratorBundle to your application's kernel (only on dev environment):

<?php
public function registerBundles(): array
{
    $bundles = [
        // ...
    ];
    
    if ($this->getEnvironment() === 'dev') {
        // ...
        $bundles[] = new GW\DQO\Symfony\DatabaseAccessGeneratorBundle();
    }
    ...
}

Generate table class

dqo:generate-tables src/Database App/Database table_1 table_2

Table query pattern

All queries should extends GW\DQO\Query\AbstractDatabaseQuery

TODO

• generate queries for tables
• add command to update table/row with new fields
