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

Very old question, but do not contain an answer in full query builder.

So yes, the following query is not possible to sync fields of two tables:

$this->createQueryBuilder('v')
    ->update()
    ->join(Pegass::class, 'p', Join::WITH, 'v.identifier = p.identifier')
    ->set('v.enabled', 'p.enabled')
    ->where('p.type = :type')
    ->setParameter('type', Pegass::TYPE_VOLUNTEER)
    ->andWhere('v.enabled <> p.enabled');

The generated query do not contain the relation because of its lack of support in all dbms as explained above. They also tell you to use subqueries instead.

So that's how I did the equivalent (even if using 2 queries and is less performant...):

foreach ([false, true] as $enabled) {
    $qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('v');

    $sub = $this->_em->createQueryBuilder()
        ->select('p.identifier')
        ->from(Pegass::class, 'p')
        ->where('p.type = :type')
        ->andWhere('p.enabled = :enabled');

    $qb
        ->setParameter('type', Pegass::TYPE_VOLUNTEER)
        ->setParameter('enabled', $enabled);

    $qb
        ->update()
        ->set('v.enabled', $enabled)
        ->where($qb->expr()->in('v.identifier', $sub->getDQL()))
        ->getQuery()
        ->execute();
}
