The Yii Database package is a framework-agnostic solution designed to interact seamlessly with multiple database types, including MariaDB, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
Getting Started with Yii Database
This package empowers you to carry out essential database operations such as:
- Creating records
- Reading records
- Updating records
- Deleting records
- Executing raw SQL queries
To illustrate, let’s consider the following code snippet:
$rows = (new Query($db))
->select(['id', 'email'])
->from('user')
->where(['last_name' => 'Smith'])
->limit(10)
->all();
Imagine you are a librarian searching for specific books in a vast archive. The library database is your archive, and the lines of code above are akin to your instruction to the librarian: “Please fetch me the details of the first ten books authored by those with the last name ‘Smith’.” Each method (e.g., select, from, where) specifies your exact criteria for the selection, just like the logical steps you would describe when retrieving specific items from a physical collection.
