QBResult

Overview

The QBResult class serves as a wrapper for managing query results in the QBSelect framework. It enables precise control over the structure and content of query results, including the addition of columns, aggregates, functions, case expressions, and subqueries. This flexibility allows developers to define custom outputs that align with specific SQL requirements.

Key features include support for distinct results, dynamic addition or removal of result components, and methods to include primary key columns automatically. Notable methods include add(column, alias) to add columns with aliases, addSubSelect(query, alias) for embedding subqueries, and remove(name) to remove a column by its name.

For further details, refer to the QBSelect documentation.
