Yii2 QueryBuilder Update with Join

Question

I have the following raw SQL query:

UPDATE `pay_audit`
JOIN `invoice_items`
ON `invoice_items`.`mdn` = `pay_audit`.`account_id` 
AND `invoice_items`.`unitpri         


        

Answer 1

I'm afraid Yii 2 Query Builder is for select queries only.

For update queries you have at least three options:

• Raw SQL:

  \Yii::$app->db->createCommand('update user set status = 1 where age > 30')->execute();
  

• Raw SQL with placeholders (to prevent SQL injection)

  \Yii::$app->db->createCommand('update user set status = :status where age > 30')->bindValue(':status','1')->execute();
  

• update() method

  // update user set status = 1 where age > 30
  \Yii::$app->db->createCommand()->update('user', ['status' => 1], 'age > 30')->execute();
