Database: Query Builder 408
Exists Statements
The whereExists method allows you to write where exist SQL clauses. The whereExists method
accepts a Closure argument, which will receive a query builder instance allowing you to define the
query that should be placed inside of the “exists” clause:
.
1 DB::table('users')
2 ->whereExists(function ($query) {
3 $query->select(DB::raw(1))
4 ->from('orders')
5 ->whereRaw('orders.user_id = users.id');
6 })
7 ->get();
The query above will produce the following SQL:
.
1 select * from users
2 where exists (
3 select 1 from orders where orders.user_id = users.id
4 )
Ordering, Grouping, Limit, & Offset
orderBy
The orderBy method allows you to sort the result of the query by a given column. The first argument
to the orderBy method should be the column you wish to sort by, while the second argument controls
the direction of the sort and may be either asc or desc:
.
1 $users = DB::table('users')
2 ->orderBy('name', 'desc')
3 ->get();
