# Sep 4th 2019, 17:36 ricksaccous on whatever you need to be unique
# Sep 4th 2019, 17:36 ricksaccous you could just do innerjoinwith can't you and then use the proper distinct/groupBy
# Sep 4th 2019, 17:36 neon1024 I’ve never found a need to use it, ever, which is why I was curious that @lilhermit would want to use it
# Sep 4th 2019, 17:36 ricksaccous oh
# Sep 4th 2019, 17:35 neon1024 Rather like a cross join would
# Sep 4th 2019, 17:35 neon1024 @ricksaccous Union will join the results of two queries into a single resultset
# Sep 4th 2019, 17:13 ricksaccous why don't you just innerjoinwith and distinct, what does union even do, man i'm so bad at sql
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:39 jotpe @alexdd55976 I don't know if this helps you, but for my purpose it is working : https://gist.github.com/julianpollmann/bd2dc4c8092d3d416f5a7bdc8ea68342
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:20 lilhermit I need to wrap that `$query` but for the life of me I can't get it to work

# Sep 4th 2019, 16:16 lilhermit lol
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:12 neon1024 I certainly wouldn’t have appreciated a large flood of code in a PM
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:12 neon1024 You could share your code using a Gist or Pastebin and share the link
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:11 lilhermit I didn't want to flood the channel with my complex explanation and code. Was going to post my solution after
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:09 neon1024 Limiting your support to one person when you have 3,235 other people who might help you seems unwise
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:09 neon1024 :man-shrugging:
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:07 lilhermit @neon1024 I've dm'ed you
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:04 neon1024 Or make a branch in Git or similar to save time reverting
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:04 neon1024 Well perhaps just write a new method in the controller and see what it looks like
# Sep 4th 2019, 16:03 slackebot Action: lilhermit tries to adapt
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:55 neon1024 Does this kind of thing not work then?
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:55 slackebot <neon1024>
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:53 lilhermit OK I'll take a look
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:53 neon1024 https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/query-builder.html#unions
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:53 lilhermit I'm trying to do that
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:52 neon1024 There is a whole bit in the book about sub-queries
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:52 neon1024 So you’re doing `SELECT * FROM (SELECT x,y FROM..` query?
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:45 neon1024 No idea then, I’m afraid.
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:45 neon1024 I would question the need for a Union, but I’m sure there is a reason
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:44 lilhermit yes I have a union and my understanding is I need to wrap it so that paginator LIMITs are not added to the first query
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:43 lilhermit yes `->select('*')` adds table name and `as`
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:42 neon1024 As long as you understand the implications of a `SELECT * FROM` query
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:41 neon1024 Did you try `->select('*')` ?
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:41 lilhermit I'm wrapping a query inside a `from` so paginator can will work with a union
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:40 lilhermit Hi, anyone know if to stop QueryBuilder `select` method from add an alias. I want just `select * from ` rather than `select TableName.* as TableName__*`
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:05 neon1024 :thumbsup:
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:04 daniel.upshaw I think it was, thanks so much @neon1024
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:02 daniel.upshaw Maybe it's because of the ":"
# Sep 4th 2019, 15:02 daniel.upshaw Got it!
# Sep 4th 2019, 14:57 neon1024 Nor does your call to `->setPass()`
