```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Create new table

[](#create-new-table)

```
// ***quick start***
$fromSchema = $conn->getSchemaManager()->createSchema();
$toSchema = clone $fromSchema;

// create new table object
$newTable = $toSchema->createTable('new_table');

// add columns
$newTable->addColumn('id', 'integer', ['unsigned' => true]);
$newTable->addColumn('payload', 'string');
$newTable->addColumn('hash', 'string', ['length' => 32, 'fixed' => true]);
// *option 'fixed' sets the fixed length of a string column as specified; if specified, the type of the column is FixedString

//set primary key
$newTable->setPrimaryKey(['id']);

// execute migration SQLs to create table in ClickHouse
$sqlArray = $fromSchema->getMigrateToSql($toSchema, $conn->getDatabasePlatform());
foreach ($sqlArray as $sql) {
    $conn->exec($sql);
}
```

```
// ***more options***

//specify table engine
$newTable->addOption('engine', 'MergeTree');
// *if not specified -- default engine 'ReplacingMergeTree' will be used

// add Date column for partitioning
$newTable->addColumn('event_date', 'date', ['default' => 'toDate(now())']);
$newTable->addOption('eventDateColumn', 'event_date');
// *if not specified -- default Date column named EventDate will be added
$newTable->addOption('eventDateProviderColumn', 'updated_at');
// *if specified -- event date column will be added with default value toDate(updated_at);
//    if the type of the provider column is `string`, the valid format of provider column values must be either `YYYY-MM-DD` or `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss`
//    if the type of provider column is neither `string`, nor `date`, nor `datetime`, provider column values must contain a valid UNIX Timestamp

//specify index granularity
$newTable->addOption('indexGranularity', 4096);
// *if not specified -- default value 8192 will be used
```

### Insert

[](#insert)

```
// 1
$conn->exec("INSERT INTO new_table (id, payload) VALUES (1, 'dummyPayload1')");
```

```
// 2
$conn->insert('new_table', ['id' => 2, 'payload' => 'dummyPayload2']);
// INSERT INTO new_table (id, payload) VALUES (?, ?) [2, 'dummyPayload2']
```

```
// 3 via QueryBuilder
$qb = $conn->createQueryBuilder();

$qb
    ->insert('new_table')
    ->setValue('id', ':id')
    ->setValue('payload', ':payload')
    ->setParameter('id', 3, \PDO::PARAM_INT) // need to explicitly set param type to `integer`, because default type is `string` and ClickHouse doesn't like types mismatchings
    ->setParameter('payload', 'dummyPayload3');

$qb->execute();
```

### Select

[](#select)

```
echo $conn->fetchColumn('SELECT SUM(views) FROM articles');
```

### Select via Dynamic Parameters and Prepared Statements

[](#select-via-dynamic-parameters-and-prepared-statements)

```
$stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT authorId, SUM(views) AS total_views FROM articles WHERE category_id = :categoryId AND publish_date = :publishDate GROUP BY authorId');

$stmt->bindValue('categoryId', 123);
$stmt->bindValue('publishDate', new \DateTime('2017-02-29'), 'datetime');
$stmt->execute();

while ($row = $stmt->fetch()) {
    echo $row['authorId'] . ': ' . $row['total_views'] . PHP_EOL;
}
```

### Additional types

[](#additional-types)

If you want to use [Array(T) type](https://clickhouse.yandex/reference_en.html#Array(T)), register additional DBAL types in your code:

```
// register all custom DBAL Array types
ArrayType::registerArrayTypes($conn->getDatabasePlatform());
// register one custom DBAL Array(Int8) type
Type::addType('array(int8)', 'FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayInt8Type');
```

or register them in Symfony configuration file:

```
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
    dbal:
        connections:
        ...
        types:
            array(int8): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayInt8Type
            array(int16): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayInt16Type
            array(int32): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayInt32Type
            array(int64): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayInt64Type
            array(uint8): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayUInt8Type
            array(uint16): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayUInt16Type
            array(uint32): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayUInt32Type
            array(uint64): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayUInt64Type
            array(float32): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayFloat32Type
            array(float64): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayFloat64Type
            array(string): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayStringType
            array(datetime): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayDateTimeType
            array(date): FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\ArrayDateType
```

Additional type `BigIntType` helps you to store bigint values as [Int64/UInt64](https://clickhouse.yandex/reference_en.html#UInt8,%20UInt16,%20UInt32,%20UInt64,%20Int8,%20Int16,%20Int32,%20Int64) value type in ClickHouse. You can override DBAL type in your code:

```
Type::overrideType(Type::BIGINT, 'FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\BigIntType');
```

or use custom mapping types in Symfony configuration:

```
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
    dbal:
        types:
            bigint:  FOD\DBALClickHouse\Types\BigIntType
            ...
```
