Doctrine ManyToMany Query - symfony

Question

I have a Product Entity which has a ManyToMany relationship with a Taxon Entity. I want to find all the products that belong to the intersection of all Taxons. For instance I want to find all products that belong to taxons with IDs 1 and 2.
Products
{1,2,3}
Taxons
{1,2,3,4,5}
ProductsToTaxons
{{p1,t1},{p1,t2}, {p2,t2}}
I want to retrieve the following set ONLY when querying products for taxons 1 and 2:
Product
{1}
which is from {{p1,t1}, {p1,t2}}
Okay, So here is the DQL that i tried... but it doesn't work?
SELECT p FROM SRCProductBundle:Product p
JOIN p.taxons t
WHERE t.id = 1 AND t.id = 2
(P.S. I would also do this with QueryBuilder with as well)
EDIT
To clarify, here is the SQL that I would like to translate into DQL/QueryBuilder.
select p.id
from product p
where exists (select product_id
from product_to_taxon
where taxon_id = 1
and product_id = p.id)
and exists (select product_id
from product_to_taxon
where taxon_id = 4
and product_id = p.id);

Answer 1

You can use the MEMBER OF statement to achieve this although in my experience it hasn't produced very performant results with a ManyToMany relationship:
In DQL:
SELECT p FROM SRCProductBundle:Product p
WHERE 1 MEMBER OF p.taxons OR 2 MEMBER OF p.taxons
Or with Query builder
$this->createQueryBuilder('p')
->where(':taxon_ids MEMBER OF p.taxons')
->setParameter('taxon_ids', $taxonIdsArray)
->getQuery()
->getResult();
This will create SQL similar to the example provided although in my experience it still had a join in the EXISTS subqueries. Perhaps future versions of Doctrine can address this.

I think you want something like this:
$qb = $this
->createQueryBuilder('p')
->select('p.id')
;
$qb
->leftJoin('p.taxons', 'taxon1', Join::WITH, 'taxon1.id = :taxonId1')
->setParameter('taxonId1', 1)
->andWhere($qb->expr()->isNotNull('taxon1'))
->leftJoin('p.taxons', 'taxon2', Join::WITH, 'taxon2.id = :taxonId2')
->setParameter('taxonId2', 2)
->andWhere($qb->expr()->isNotNull('taxon2'))
;
Which is equivalent to the SQL:
SELECT p.id
FROM products p
LEFT JOIN taxons t1 ON (p.id = t1.product_id AND t1.id = 1)
LEFT JOIN taxons t2 ON (p.id = t2.product_id AND t2.id = 2)
WHERE t1.id IS NOT NULL
AND t2.id IS NOT NULL
;

Answer 3

Your DQL has wrong logic. You can't have a taxon with both id=1 and id=4. You could do it like this:
SELECT p FROM SRCProductBundle:Product p
JOIN p.taxons t
WHERE t.id = 1 OR t.id = 4
But I would prefer this way:
SELECT p FROM SRCProductBundle:Product p
JOIN p.taxons t
WHERE t.id IN (1, 4)
Using query builder that would look something like this, assuming you're in EntityRepository class:
$this->createQueryBuilder('p')
->join('p.taxons', 't')
->where('t.id IN :taxon_ids')
->setParameter('taxon_ids', $taxonIdsArray)
->getQuery()
->getResult();

Answer 4

For lack of a clean way to do this with DQL, and after a considerable amount of research, I resorted to doing this in Native SQL. Doctrine allows Native SQL via the EntityManager with createNativeQuery().
So in short, I utilized this ability and constructed the SQL query included in my question as a string and then passed it to the createNativeQuery() function.
This does appear to have some drawbacks as it appears I will be unable to use the KnpPaginatorBundle with it... So I might end up just filtering the results in PHP rather than SQL, which I'm hesitant to do as I think there are performance drawbacks.
