Doctrine ORM Proxy Query ======================== The ``ProxyQuery`` object is used to add missing features from the original Doctrine Query builder : - ``execute`` method - no need to call the ``getQuery()`` method - add sort by and sort order options - add preselect id query on left join query, so a limit query will be only applied on the left statement and not on the full select statement. This simulates the original Doctrine 1 behavior. .. code-block:: php em->createQueryBuilder(); $queryBuilder->from('Post', 'p'); $proxyQuery = new ProxyQuery($queryBuilder); $proxyQuery->leftJoin('p.tags', t); $proxyQuery->setSortBy('name'); $proxyQuery->setMaxResults(10); $results = $proxyQuery->execute();
