Database Laravel Package
joomla/database
Joomla Database provides a generic database layer and drivers for building queries and managing connections. Includes a factory for creating drivers, and helpers for safe input handling (escape/quote), making it easier to integrate database access in custom PHP apps.
Updating from v3 to v4
The following changes were made to the Database package between v3 and v4.
Minimum supported PHP version raised
All Framework packages now require PHP 8.3 or newer.
Minimum supported database versions raised
The following are the minimum supported database versions:
- MySQL: 5.6
- PostgreSQL: 9.2.0
- MS SQL: 11.0.2100.60 (SQL Server 2012)
Removed quoteNameStr
The deprecated method quoteNameStr has been removed. Use quoteNameString instead.
DatabaseInterface: createQuery method
DatabaseInterface adds a createQuery method for creating query objects. Use createQuery() instead of getQuery(true).
If you have a custom query class update your adapter's createQuery() method to return your custom query class.
Removed deprecated LimitableInterface and PreparableInterface
The interfaces Joomla\Database\Query\LimitableInterface and Joomla\Database\Query\PreparableInterface have been removed and its signatures added to the QueryInterface. All objects implementing one of these interfaces need to implement the QueryInterface instead.
Removed deprecated DatabaseQuery::castAsChar()
The deprecated method DatabaseQuery::castAsChar() as been removed. Use $query->castAs('CHAR', $value) instead.
