Does Doctrine support IF statements? I get the following error:
Expected known function, got 'IF'
while executing this query with IF:
$qb->select("c.id, IF(c.type_id LIKE 9, c.name, c.lastname) as name")
It works fine while re-written in pure SQL. Any workarounds?
Yes if statements in doctrine is not supported you may convert it to case when
IF(c.type_id LIKE 9, c.name, c.lastname) as name
to
case when c.type_id = 9 then c.name else c.lastname end as name
UPDATE:
From the comment does concat function is allowed in case-when
The answer is yes very much allowed. Here is an example
mysql> select * from timesheets ;
+-----------+-------+----------+
| client_id | hours | category |
+-----------+-------+----------+
| 1 | 1.50 | onsite |
| 1 | 1.50 | onsite |
| 1 | 1.00 | remote |
| 2 | 1.50 | remote |
+-----------+-------+----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select
case when category = 'onsite' then concat('ON',' ',hours) else hours
end as dd from timesheets ;
+---------+
| dd |
+---------+
| ON 1.50 |
| ON 1.50 |
| 1.00 |
| 1.50 |
+---------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
