Complex HAVING & WHERE queries #491

Description

@hrach

Complex condition like

$users = $this->orm->authors->findBy([
	ICollection::OR,
	['books->title' => 'Book 1'],
	[
		CompareSmallerThanEqualsFunction::class,
		[CountAggregateFunction::class, 'tagFollowers->tag'],
		2,
	],
]);

creates an invalid SQL:

SELECT `authors`.* 
FROM `authors` AS `authors` 
   LEFT JOIN `books` AS `books` ON (`authors`.`id` = `books`.`author_id`)
   LEFT JOIN `tag_followers` AS `tagFollowers` ON (`authors`.`id` = `tagFollowers`.`author_id`)
GROUP BY `authors`.`id`
HAVING ((`books`.`title` = 'Book 1')) OR (COUNT(`tagFollowers`.`tag_id`) <= 2)

Db server doesn't know the books.title value since it is not aggregate in having.

Doing aggregation is not possible here, so we have to employ complex query rewrite:

  • put non-aggregated condition to join
  • select the joined table PK column
  • compare the selected column to not null

which will produce something like:

SELECT `authors`.*, `books`.`id` AS `_booksid`
FROM `authors` AS `authors` 
LEFT JOIN `books` AS `books` ON (`authors`.`id` = `books`.`author_id` and `books`.`title` = 'Book 1') 
LEFT JOIN `tag_followers` AS `tagFollowers` ON (`authors`.`id` = `tagFollowers`.`author_id`) 
GROUP BY `authors`.`id`
HAVING (`_booksid` IS NOT NULL) OR (COUNT(`tagFollowers`.`tag_id`) <= 2)
