partial select doctrine query builder

Question

I\'m trying to custom select use this code

$result = $qb->select(\'partial user.{id,name}\')
                 ->from(\'User\', \'user\')
                       


        

Answer 1

Using the DQL "partial" keyword is not enough to get a partial entity as a result.

The DQL hint HINT_FORCE_PARTIAL_LOAD must be used as well.

$query = $qb->select('partial user.{id,name}')
             ->from('User', 'user')
             ->leftJoin('user.group', 'group')
             ->getQuery()
;

$query->setHint(Doctrine\ORM\Query::HINT_FORCE_PARTIAL_LOAD, 1);

$results = $query->getResult();
