write where not in eloquent












0















I want to write this SQL using eloquent in laravel 5.6 application



select * from `lock_dates` where not (`start_at` >= '2018-11-25 23:59:59' or `end_at` <= '2018-11-21 00:00:00')


I don't know how to write not!



this is my eloquent code so far



LockDate::where('start_at' , '>=' , $end)
->orWhere('end_at' , '<=' , $start)
->get();


this is the SQL query that eloquent run behind the scenes which is the same SQL with I want except the not



0 => array:3 [▼
"query" => "select * from lock_dates where start_at >= ? or end_at <= ?"
"bindings" => array:2 [▼
0 => "2018-11-25 23:59:59"
1 => "2018-11-21 00:00:00"
]
"time" => 1.98


]



thanks in advance

  • Eloquent essentially uses the builder, you can look at the source to determine exactly what you need: github.com/laravel/framework/blob/5.6/src/Illuminate/Database/…

Actually you don't need "not", your condition:



not (`start_at` >= '2018-11-25 23:59:59' or `end_at` <= '2018-11-21 00:00:00')


is equal to:



`start_at` <= '2018-11-25 23:59:59' AND `end_at` >= '2018-11-21 00:00:00'


So:



$lockDates = LockDate::where('start_at' , '<=' , $end)
->where('end_at' , '=>' , $start)
->get();

I think kapitan is closest, but should be like this?



LockDate::whereDate('start_at' , '<' , $end)
->whereDate('end_at' , '>' , $start)
->get();


This is like checking your not request because the dates are reversed.

    To write NOT in Eloquent, use != instead of = in your WHERE clause.



    It will look like this:



    `LockDate::where('start_at' , '!=' , $end)->get();`

    there is actually a whereDate() for eloquent date filtering.



    LockDate::whereDate('start_at' , '>=' , $end)
    ->whereDate('end_at' , '<=' , $start)
    ->get();

            there is actually a whereDate() for eloquent date filtering.



            LockDate::whereDate('start_at' , '>=' , $end)
            ->whereDate('end_at' , '<=' , $start)
            ->get();
