Doctrine Query Builder not working with UPDATE and INNER JOIN

Question

In my repository I have this query:

$qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
$qb
    ->update(\'MyBundle:Entity1\', \'e1\') 
    ->         


        

Answer 1

try using a subquery instead Join will not work in DQL while you re doing an update:

LEFT JOIN, or JOINs in particular are only supported in UPDATE statements of MySQL. DQL abstracts a subset of common ansi sql, so this is not possible. Try with a subselect:

$qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
    $qb ->update('MyBundle:Entity1', 'e') 
        ->set('e.visibile', '1')
        ->where('e.id IN (SELECT e1.id FROM Entity1 e1 INNER JOIN e2.Entity2 e2 WHERE e2 = :id')
        ->setParameter("id", 123);
