phalcon Database Management Using standard SQL directly with models
Example
To use SQL syntax with model, that would transfer result to proper instantions, you should use directly one of Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Resultset classes:
$users = new \Application\Models\Users();
// bitwise operation on `flag` field
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM phorum.users WHERE
(15 & (1 << (flag - 1))) > 0 ORDER BY login DESC';
// as a result you will have a Resultset\Simple with Models\Users instances.
$result = new \Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Resultset\Simple(
null,
// what model to use for data returned from SQL
$users,
// setting result via "read connection" proper for this model.
$users->getReadConnection()->query($sql)
);
