Sequelize with NodeJS can't join tables with limit

Question

I\'m trying to implement a simple query that should look like this:

select * from property join entity_area on property.id=entity_area.entity_id and entity_a         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem recently using sequelize 4.28.6, this is what worked for me

 User.findAll(
{
  where: {
    $Tasks$: null,
  },
  include: [
    {
      model: Task,
      // required: false,
    },
  ],
  limit: 3,
  subQuery: false,
})

@yuriscom answer still works but, i didnt want to edit the sequelize codebase since the issue has been fixed and adding subQuery: false, works

Answer 2

Actually I found a solution myself. I think this is a bug in sequelize framework.
In the node_modules/sequelize/lib/dialect/abstract/query_generator.js there is a "selectQuery" function which has the following line:

subQuery = limit && (options.hasIncludeWhere || options.hasIncludeRequired || options.hasMultiAssociation) && options.subQuery !== false

First of all there is an option subQuery that could be passed as false to remove the subquery generation. Sequelize documentation does not have a word about it. But moreover if you pass subQuery:false in the findAll object it's not going to work because for some reason it's getting as underfined to the selectQuery function.
I tried something like:

return models.property.findAll(
{
    where: ["price>=?", 300000],
    include: [
    {
        model:models.entity_area,
        where: { area_id:1 }
    }
    ],
    limit:12,
    subQuery:false
})

and still got options.subQuery=undefined.

So i had to change the function in query_generator.js to be something like:

subQuery = limit && (options.hasIncludeWhere || options.hasIncludeRequired || options.hasMultiAssociation) && options.subQuery !== false && options.doSubQuery===true

So now by default it's not doing this ugly subquery unless i specify explicitely doSubQuery:true. And finally i got the proper query without subquery with limit.

Answer 3

models.property.findAll(
{
    where: [...],
    include: [{...}],
    limit:12
},
{
    subQuery:false
})
