PostgreSQL json select query replacement in PHP Yii2

Question

Is there any replacement for this query in PHP Yii2?

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_column ?& array['2', '1', '3', '4'];

my_column = jsonb

Because i get this error

Error Info: Array
(
  [0] => 42601
  [1] => 7
  [2] => ERROR:  syntax error at or near "$1"
  LINE 1: SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_column $1& array['2', '1', '3',       '...
                                                 ^
)

I'm using PHP Yii2 and PostgreSQL 9.4:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_column ?& array['2', '1', '3', '4'];";

$model = TestModel::findBySql($sql)->asArray()->all();

The purpose of this query is compare if the value exists in the database.

The database have:

1. ["1", "2", "3", "4"]
2. ["1", "2", "3"]

And it works in the pgAdmin3 SQL Editor.

Answer 1

In PostgreSQL, ? is alias for jsonb_exists() function. ?& is alias for jsonb_exists_all(). So, you can write you query like so:

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE jsonb_exists_all('my_column', array['2', '1', '3', '4']);

Answer 2

Escaping the SQL String is possibly what's missing. So something like this should ideally work:

SELECT * FROM service WHERE test2 \?& array['2', '1', '3', '4'];

Answer 3

As a quick temporary solution, I used the pg_query

$host = "localhost";
$user = "test";
$pass = "test";
$db = "test";

$con = pg_connect("host=$host dbname=$db user=$user password=$pass")
          or die("Could not connect to server\n");

//my_column type is jsonb
$query = "SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_column ?& array['2', '1', '3']";

$rs = pg_query($con, $query) or die("Cannot execute query: $query\n");

$data = array();
while ($row = pg_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
  $data[] = $row;
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);

pg_close($con);

But I couldn't find a way to make it work with Yii2. hope this help others.
