rekalogika/doctrine-advanced-group-by

Allows the use of the more complex GROUP BY clauses in Doctrine ORM. These include GROUPING SETS, CUBE, and ROLLUP.

If you are not familiar with these clauses, you can read more about them in the PostgreSQL documentation.

Supported Databases

Only PostgreSQL is currently supported. MS SQL Server support is possible in the future. Other Doctrine-supported databases do not have the functionality and cannot be supported, at least not completely.

Installation

composer require rekalogika/doctrine-advanced-group-by

Usage

use Doctrine\ORM\QueryBuilder;
use Rekalogika\DoctrineAdvancedGroupBy\GroupBy;
use Rekalogika\DoctrineAdvancedGroupBy\GroupingSet;
use Rekalogika\DoctrineAdvancedGroupBy\FieldSet;
use Rekalogika\DoctrineAdvancedGroupBy\Field;

/** @var QueryBuilder $queryBuilder */

$queryBuilder
->from(SomeEntity::class, 'e')
->select('e.a AS a')
->addSelect('e.b AS b')
->addSelect('e.c AS c')
->addSelect('e.d AS d');

$groupBy = new GroupBy(
new GroupingSet(
new FieldSet(
new Field('a'),
new Field('b'),
),
new FieldSet(
new Field('c'),
new Field('d'),
),
),
);

$query = $queryBuilder->getQuery();
$groupBy->apply($query);
$result = $query->getResult();

Flattening

It is possible to flatten a GroupBy object into another instance of GroupBy with a single level of grouping sets.

$groupBy1 = new GroupBy(
new RollUp(
new Field('a'),
new Field('b'),
),
);

$groupBy2 = new GroupBy(
new GroupingSet(
new FieldSet(),
new FieldSet(
new Field('a'),
),
new FieldSet(
new Field('a'),
new Field('b'),
),
),
);

In the example above, $groupBy2 is the flattened version of $groupBy1. You can transform $groupBy1 into $groupBy2 using the flatten method.

$flattened = $groupBy1->flatten();

This is useful if you need to know if the GroupBy generates more than 4096 grouping sets, which is the limit of the database. Or, you can use it to split the query into multiple smaller queries.

Limitations

Works using a custom SQL walker; therefore it is not possible if you need to use a custom SQL walker for another purpose.
