ActiveQueryInterface
extends
QueryInterface
in
ActiveQueryInterface defines the common interface to be implemented by active record query classes.
That are methods for either normal queries that return active records but also relational queries in which the query represents a relation between two active record classes and will return related records only.
A class implementing this interface should also use [[ActiveQueryTrait]] and [[ActiveRelationTrait]].

Methods
addOrderBy()
Adds additional ORDER BY columns to the query.
public
addOrderBy(string|array<string|int, mixed> $columns) : $this
Parameters
- $columns : string|array<string|int, mixed>
-
the columns (and the directions) to be ordered by. Columns can be specified in either a string (e.g. "id ASC, name DESC") or an array (e.g.
['id' => SORT_ASC, 'name' => SORT_DESC]
). The method will automatically quote the column names unless a column contains some parenthesis (which means the column contains a DB expression).

Executes the query and returns all results as an array.
public
all([Connection|null $db = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
- $db : Connection|null = null
-
the database connection used to execute the query. If this parameter is not given, the
db
application component will be used.

array<string|int, mixed> —the query results. If the query results in nothing, an empty array will be returned.
andFilterWhere()
Adds an additional WHERE condition to the existing one ignoring empty parameters.
public
andFilterWhere(array<string|int, mixed> $condition) : $this
The new condition and the existing one will be joined using the 'AND' operator.

- $callable : callable|null = null
-
a PHP callback for customizing the relation associated with the junction table. Its signature should be
function($query)
, where$query
is the query to be customized.
Return values
$this —the relation object itself.
where()
Sets the WHERE part of the query.
public
where(array<string|int, mixed> $condition) : $this
The $condition
specified as an array can be in one of the following two formats:
- hash format:
['column1' => value1, 'column2' => value2, ...]
- operator format:
[operator, operand1, operand2, ...]
A condition in hash format represents the following SQL expression in general:
column1=value1 AND column2=value2 AND ...
. In case when a value is an array,
an IN
expression will be generated. And if a value is null
, IS NULL
will be used
in the generated expression. Below are some examples:
-
['type' => 1, 'status' => 2]
generates(type = 1) AND (status = 2)
. -
['id' => [1, 2, 3], 'status' => 2]
generates(id IN (1, 2, 3)) AND (status = 2)
. -
['status' => null]
generatesstatus IS NULL
.
A condition in operator format generates the SQL expression according to the specified operator, which can be one of the following:
-
and: the operands should be concatenated together using
AND
. For example,['and', 'id=1', 'id=2']
will generateid=1 AND id=2
. If an operand is an array, it will be converted into a string using the rules described here. For example,['and', 'type=1', ['or', 'id=1', 'id=2']]
will generatetype=1 AND (id=1 OR id=2)
. The method will not do any quoting or escaping. -
or: similar to the
and
operator except that the operands are concatenated usingOR
. For example,['or', ['type' => [7, 8, 9]], ['id' => [1, 2, 3]]]
will generate(type IN (7, 8, 9) OR (id IN (1, 2, 3)))
. -
not: this will take only one operand and build the negation of it by prefixing the query string with
NOT
. For example['not', ['attribute' => null]]
will result in the conditionNOT (attribute IS NULL)
. -
between: operand 1 should be the column name, and operand 2 and 3 should be the starting and ending values of the range that the column is in. For example,
['between', 'id', 1, 10]
will generateid BETWEEN 1 AND 10
. -
not between: similar to
between
except theBETWEEN
is replaced withNOT BETWEEN
in the generated condition. -
in: operand 1 should be a column or DB expression, and operand 2 be an array representing the range of the values that the column or DB expression should be in. For example,
['in', 'id', [1, 2, 3]]
will generateid IN (1, 2, 3)
. The method will properly quote the column name and escape values in the range.To create a composite
IN
condition you can use and array for the column name and value, where the values are indexed by the column name:['in', ['id', 'name'], [['id' => 1, 'name' => 'foo'], ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'bar']] ]
.You may also specify a sub-query that is used to get the values for the
IN
-condition:['in', 'user_id', (new Query())->select('id')->from('users')->where(['active' => 1])]
-
not in: similar to the
in
operator except thatIN
is replaced withNOT IN
in the generated condition. -
like: operand 1 should be a column or DB expression, and operand 2 be a string or an array representing the values that the column or DB expression should be like. For example,
['like', 'name', 'tester']
will generatename LIKE '%tester%'
. When the value range is given as an array, multipleLIKE
predicates will be generated and concatenated usingAND
. For example,['like', 'name', ['test', 'sample']]
will generatename LIKE '%test%' AND name LIKE '%sample%'
. The method will properly quote the column name and escape special characters in the values. Sometimes, you may want to add the percentage characters to the matching value by yourself, you may supply a third operandfalse
to do so. For example,['like', 'name', '%tester', false]
will generatename LIKE '%tester'
. -
or like: similar to the
like
operator except thatOR
is used to concatenate theLIKE
predicates when operand 2 is an array. -
not like: similar to the
like
operator except thatLIKE
is replaced withNOT LIKE
in the generated condition. -
or not like: similar to the
not like
operator except thatOR
is used to concatenate theNOT LIKE
predicates. -
exists: operand 1 is a query object that used to build an
EXISTS
condition. For example['exists', (new Query())->select('id')->from('users')->where(['active' => 1])]
will result in the following SQL expression:EXISTS (SELECT "id" FROM "users" WHERE "active"=1)
. -
not exists: similar to the
exists
operator except thatEXISTS
is replaced withNOT EXISTS
in the generated condition. -
Additionally you can specify arbitrary operators as follows: A condition of
['>=', 'id', 10]
will result in the following SQL expression:id >= 10
.
Note that this method will override any existing WHERE condition. You might want to use [[andWhere()]] or [[orWhere()]] instead.
Parameters
- $condition : array<string|int, mixed>
-
the conditions that should be put in the WHERE part.

Return values
$this —the query object itself
with()
Specifies the relations with which this query should be performed.
public
with() : $this
The parameters to this method can be either one or multiple strings, or a single array of relation names and the optional callbacks to customize the relations.
A relation name can refer to a relation defined in [[ActiveQueryTrait::modelClass|modelClass]]
or a sub-relation that stands for a relation of a related record.
For example, orders.address
means the address
relation defined
in the model class corresponding to the orders
relation.
The following are some usage examples:
// find customers together with their orders and country
Customer::find()->with('orders', 'country')->all();
// find customers together with their orders and the orders' shipping address
Customer::find()->with('orders.address')->all();
// find customers together with their country and orders of status 1
Customer::find()->with([
'orders' => function (\yii\db\ActiveQuery $query) {
$query->andWhere('status = 1');
},
'country',
])->all();
Return values
$this —the query object itself
