Query with EXISTS for Doctrine Symfony2

Question

How can I implement the following query with Query Builder?

SELECT * 
FROM t 
WHERE t.status = 1
    OR EXISTS(SELECT * 
              FROM r 
              WHERE r.t_id = t.id 
                  AND r.status = 1
             )

The part without exist check is easy, but is there a way to implement the EXISTS?

You either need to use two query builders:

$queryBuilder->expr()->exists($subQueryBuilder->getDql());

or use DQL directly:

$queryBuilder->expr()->exists('SELECT * 
    FROM r 
    WHERE r.t_id = t.id 
    AND r.status = 1'
);

You'll find more examples in the docs: http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/current/reference/query-builder.html

Note: You have to set parameters in the main query, even though they're used in the exists (Thanks Vadim Ashikhman).

Is it possible to bind parameters in the subquery? (your link is dead) – Fractaliste Oct 08 '14 at 07:28

You have to set parameters in the main query even those that are used in the `exists` statement. – Vadim Ashikhman Aug 27 '18 at 16:42
