Re: Help with calculated field being backticked to death
Thanks a lot, That saved the day :) For reference, what worked was this set of parenthesis: '((Modelname.foreign_id>0)) AS result' /Martin On Feb 11, 12:40 pm, grigri wrote: > I haven't tried this in a while, but I seem to remember adding extra > parentheses helped. > > Try these: > > '(Modelname.foreign_id>0 AS result)' > '(Modelname.foreign_id>0) AS result' > '((Modelname.foreign_id>0) AS result)' > '(((Modelname.foreign_id>0) AS result))' > > One of them _should_ work > > hth > grigri > > On Feb 11, 11:34 am, Martin Westin wrote: > > > Hi, > > I am trying to order by a calculation (in a pagination) but my > > calculation is being backticked to death.

Re: Help with calculated field being backticked to death
I haven't tried this in a while, but I seem to remember adding extra parentheses helped. Try these: '(Modelname.foreign_id>0 AS result)' '(Modelname.foreign_id>0) AS result' '((Modelname.foreign_id>0) AS result)' '(((Modelname.foreign_id>0) AS result))' One of them _should_ work hth grigri On Feb 11, 11:34 am, Martin Westin wrote: > Hi, > I am trying to order by a calculation (in a pagination) but my > calculation is being backticked to death.

Help with calculated field being backticked to death
Hi, I am trying to order by a calculation (in a pagination) but my calculation is being backticked to death. I can't find a way to write this so that is works. I have: var $paginate = array( 'Modelname' => array( 'fields'=>array( 'Modelname.id', 'Modelname.fieldname', 'Modelname.foreign_id', 'Modelname.foreign_id>0 AS result' // no matter what I put here I get an sql syntax error ), 'limit' => 10, 'order' => 'result ASC, Modelname.fieldname ASC' ) ); This results in: SELECT `Modelname`.`id`, `Modelname`.`fieldname`, `Modelname`.`foreign_id`, `Modelname`.`foreign_id>0` AS `result` FROM... and about 10 other variations I have tried. If I just copy the query and remove the badly placed backticks I get a working query. I just can't figure out how to "trick" Cake into not messing with the calculation. Doing simple SUM(somefield) AS some_sum has never caused any problems but I have not been able to find a "function" in MySQL that would do a simple "greater than" comparison. thanks in advance /Martin --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
