I would like to know how I can use a subquery in FROM clause using gorm. It would look like the following:
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT foo.*
FROM foo
WHERE bar = "baz"
) AS t1
WHERE t1.id = 1;
I have built the subquery using golang:
db.Model(Foo{}).Where("bar = ?", "baz")
But how can I use this as a subquery in FROM
?
If there is a method that turns a gorm query into a SQL string, then I can simply plug that string into a raw SQL. But there does not seem to be such method. Any suggestions?
You could use QueryExpr
, refer
http://jinzhu.me/gorm/crud.html#subquery
db.Where("amount > ?", DB.Table("orders").Select("AVG(amount)").Where("state = ?", "paid").QueryExpr()).Find(&orders)
Which generate SQL
SELECT * FROM "orders" WHERE "orders"."deleted_at" IS NULL AND (amount > (SELECT AVG(amount) FROM "orders" WHERE (state = 'paid')));
Also you can do it with join on a subquery
subQuery := db.
Select("foo.*").
Table("foo").
Where("bar = ?", "baz").
SubQuery()
db.
Select("t1.*").
Join("INNER JOIN ? AS t1 ON t1.id = foo.id", subQuery).
Where("t1.id = ?", 1)
FYI – Jinzhu's method doesn't work
I have subqueries working using this method...
var somevalue = 1
row := db.Select("something").Table("first_table").Where("exists(?)", db.Select("a_relationship_to_something").Model(&SecondTable{}).Where("id = ?", somevalue).QueryExpr()).Row()
var result string
row.Scan(&result)
I've tested this with row()
, rows()
, first()
, and find()
. You can also use both .Table()
and .Model()
interchangeably as shown in the example.
also could be used in join
subQuery:=db.Find(&subTable).QueryExpr()
db.
Table("table").
Select("*").
Join("join (?) as t1 on t1.id==table.id", //<---round brackets for multiple rows
subQuery).
Find(&Rows)
Author didn't use any "JOIN" in his SQL.
I didn't find any ORM way, but db.Raw
works.
subQuery := db.
Select("foo.*").
Table("foo").
Where("bar = ?", "baz").
SubQuery()
db.Raw("SELECT * FROM ? as t1 WHERE t1.id=?", subQuery, 1).Find(&rows)
