Doctrine2 named queries

Question

I can't find any documentation about named queries in Doctrine2. Please help. Does Doctrine2 have a named queries feature?

Answer 1

Maybe you'll be interested by the EntityRepositories where you can create and store complex Doctrine queries, and call theme in your project where you want:

Answer 2

You can use

1. NamedQuery - DQL. Example

   use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\NamedQuery;
   use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\NamedQueries;
   
   /**
   * @Entity
   * @Table(name="cms_users")
   * @NamedQueries({
   *     @NamedQuery(name="activated", query="SELECT u FROM __CLASS__ u WHERE u.status = 1")
   * })
   */
   class CmsUser
   {}
   

   And call it like

   $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('MyBundle:CmsUser')
       ->createNamedQuery('activated')
       ->getResult();
   

2. NamedNativeQuery - SQL. More information here: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/en/latest/reference/native-sql.html#named-native-query

3. Collecting a queries in your EntityRepository, like:

   namespace Acme\StoreBundle\Repository;
   
   use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
   
   class ProductRepository extends EntityRepository
   {
       public function findAllOrderedByName()
       {
           return $this->getEntityManager()
               ->createQuery('SELECT p FROM AcmeStoreBundle:Product p ORDER BY p.name ASC')
               ->getResult();
       }
   }
