areColumnTypesCompatible()

Returns whether two column type definitions are relatively compatible with each other.

View source

Arguments

• $typeA (string)
• $typeB (string)

Returns

boolean

batch()

Since

3.7.0

Starts a batch query, similar to yii\db\Query::batch().

Each iteration will be a batch of rows.

foreach (Db::batch($query) as $batch) {
    foreach ($batch as $row) {
        // ...
    }
}

If using MySQL and $db is null, a new unbuffered DB connection will be created for the query so that the data can actually be retrieved in batches, to work around limitations with query batching in MySQL. Therefore keep in mind that the data retrieved by the batch query won’t reflect any changes that have been made over the main DB connection, if a transaction is currently active.

View source

Arguments

• $query (yii\db\Query) – The query that should be executed
• $batchSize (integer) – The number of rows to be fetched in each batch

Returns

Values can begin with the operators 'not ', '!=', '<=', '>=', '<', '>', or '='. If they don’t, '=' will be assumed.
