PHP is almost synonymous with databases, and it has been since the early versions. Yet creating SQL queries can still be a challenging task. What’s the right tool to use? ORMs often feel like overkill, and creating queries by hand can be unmaintainable. In this session, I’ll show you how to use the ZendDb library to generate SQL queries — from simple selects to more complex unions, filtered deletions, and updates. You’ll learn how to use the library to create flexible, secure, maintainable, and reusable queries quickly and efficiently, saving you time and effort in the long term.
