1. 7.x-3.x plugins/views_plugin_query_default.inc \views_plugin_query_default::ensure_table()

Ensure a table exists in the queue; if it already exists it won't do anything, but if it doesn't it will add the table queue. It will ensure a path leads back to the relationship table.

Parameters

$table: The unaliased name of the table to ensure.

$relationship: The relationship to ensure the table links to. Each relationship will get a unique instance of the table being added. If not specified, will be the primary table.

views_join $join: A views_join object (or derived object) to join the alias in.

Return value

The alias used to refer to this specific table, or NULL if the table cannot be ensured.

3 calls to views_plugin_query_default::ensure_table()

views_plugin_query_default::add_field in plugins/views_plugin_query_default.inc

Add a field to the query table, possibly with an alias. This will automatically call ensure_table to make sure the required table exists, *unless* $table is unset.

views_plugin_query_default::add_orderby in plugins/views_plugin_query_default.inc

Add an ORDER BY clause to the query.

views_plugin_query_default::adjust_join in plugins/views_plugin_query_default.inc

Fix a join to adhere to the proper relationship; the left table can vary based upon what relationship items are joined in on.

        // Attempt to eliminate redundant joins.  If this table's
        // relationship and join exactly matches an existing table's
        // relationship and join, we do not have to join to it again;
        // just return the existing table's alias.  See

        // This can be done safely here but not lower down in
        // queue_table(), because queue_table() is also used by
        // add_table() which requires the ability to intentionally add
        // the same table with the same join multiple times.  For
        // example, a view that filters on 3 taxonomy terms using AND
        // needs to join term_data 3 times with the same join.
        // scan through the table queue to see if a matching join and
        // relationship exists.  If so, use it instead of this join.
        // TODO: Scanning through $this->table_queue results in an
        // O(N^2) algorithm, and this code runs every time the view is
        // instantiated (Views 2 does not currently cache queries).
        // There are a couple possible "improvements" but we should do
        // some performance testing before picking one.

            // if they are instances of the same class and have the same
            // attributes and values.
