Magento as you might know or not! has really a very PIA (Pain in the A**) type of methods to create SQL, execute and fetch! There are two ways of getting SQL from the collection of Magento. Here are the two ways.
1. Only Echoing Query String.
For just echoing the query string you must call printlogquery(), method the the collection. Like.
1 |
/** If $collection is your collection**/ |
2 |
$collection->printlogquery(true); |
3 |
/** Don't forget to write true in param**/ |
But by this method you cannot assign the query you get echoed to some variable. To get the query string here is what you do.
2. Getting the query String
You can then use this $query to concat with more query, in some cases you desperately need this.
Stay Tuned!
