Imagine having RAW SQL like the following where you are explicitly selecting columns from a table and from within the table that you select itself has a subquery that selects another table with different conditions.
SELECT
`p`.`id`,
`p`.`name`,
`p`.`img`,
`p`.`safe_name`,
`p`.`sku`,
`p`.`productstatusid`
FROM `products` p
WHERE `p`.`id` IN (
SELECT
`product_id`
FROM `product_category`
WHERE `category_id` IN ('223', '15')
)
AND `p`.`active`=1This RAW SQL query can easily be written in Laravel and to achieve this in Laravel you can make use of the DB facade. Here's an example of how you can convert the RAW SQL above into Laravel Fluent.
<?php
use \DB;
DB::table('users')
->whereIn('id', function($query) {
$query->select(DB::raw(1))
->from('orders')
->whereRaw('orders.user_id = users.id');
})
->get();
The above code will produce the following SQL code.
select * from users where id in (
select 1 from orders where orders.user_id = users.id
)For more information do have a look at the advanced where clause documentation for Fluent.
