Determine MySQL query type in Zend Framework

Question

Can anyone tell me how to determine query type i.e. select, update, delete or insert before it is executed over MySQL.

I strongly belie

Answer 1

I strongly believe internally Zend Framework might be using mysql*_query function to execute them.

ZF's Database class does not have support for the decrepit mysql extension. It has adapters for PDO and mysqli. You'll know which of these you are using because you have to expressly specify one in your code or configuration.

So I want to find out which query was executed

I think that you're going to be better served by rethinking your design. It's not entirely clear what is going on here, nor is it clear why you think you need to know the query type, nor is it clear where you expect to need to know the query type.

Please review the Zend_Db_Table documentation, as it looks like you might have missed the point somewhere along the way.

In specific, there are already methods provided by Zend_Db_Table for inserts, deletes and updates. If you need to change the behavior of the appropriate method, you should do so by simply overriding it in your class.

Further, it looks like you're trying to build some sort of smart column type definition system. You don't need to do that, as again, Zend_Db_Table already provides this information to you, and even lets you hard-code it if you'd rather it not determine this information automatically.

ZF is a complicated beast. If you're going to use it, I suggest that you fully understand everything it can do. Building non-standard, redundant architecture is only going to complicate things for you later on.
