Return foreign key with DQL query

Question

I\'ve got an InvoiceItem entity like this:

/**
 * @Entity
 */
class InvoiceItem
{
    [..]

    /**
     * @ManyToOne(targetEntity=\"Invoice\", inversedBy=\"item         


        

Answer 1

You can use the setHint() method to make the foreign key get returned with the rest of the values for your entity. You apply the method to the query (not the querybuilder):

$q = $qb->getQuery();
$q->setHint(\Doctrine\ORM\Query::HINT_INCLUDE_META_COLUMNS, true);
