Yii2 subquery in Active Record

Question

How can I convert this sql into active record query

SELECT * FROM `base_twitter` WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT base_id from base_followers) 

Answer 1

Assuming that your models are named BaseTwitter and BaseFollower accordingly, this should work:

$subQuery = BaseFollower::find()->select('id'); $query = BaseTwitter::find()->where(['not in', 'id', $subQuery]); $models = $query->all(); 

Answer 2

// SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE `active` = 1) `activeusers`; $subquery = (new \yii\db\Query)->from('user')->where(['active' => true]) $query = (new \yii\db\Query)->from(['activeusers' => $subquery]);  // subquery can also be a string with plain SQL wrapped in parenthesis // SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE `active` = 1) `activeusers`; $subquery = "(SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE `active` = 1)"; $query = (new \yii\db\Query)->from(['activeusers' => $subquery]);
