Hello, I tried many ways to achieve this using the ORM and I wasn't able to do it. 2 problems I had is :
- Orm\Query->select() escapes my \Db::expr() objects as if it was a standard field (string)
- Orm\Query has no group_by() method

        $t = \Db::select(\Db::expr('COUNT(comm_id) AS count_result'), 'comm_parent_id')
                ->from('cms_comments')
                ->and_where('comm_type', '=', 'blog')
                ->and_where('comm_parent_id', 'in', $ids)
                ->group_by('comm_parent_id')
                ->execute()->as_array();

Here is what I was hoping to do (non functionnal) :

        $t = \Cms\Model_Comment::query()
                ->select(\Db::expr('COUNT(comm_id) AS count_result'), 'comm_parent_id') // Db::expr() works badly
                ->where(array(
                    array('comm_type', '=', 'blog'),
                    array('comm_parent_id', 'in', $ids),
                ))
                //->group_by('comm_parent_id') // No group_by() method
                ->get();

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance for that!

Try this:

$t = \Cms\Model_Comment::query() ->select(array(\Db::expr('COUNT(comm_id)'), 'count_result'), 'comm_parent_id')

No luck. The array() construction doesn't work with Orm\Query->select() as it's a simple foreach (func_get_args() as $field) The second argument to Db::expr() makes it better, but I suspect it's just ignored, that's why. Here is the error I get:

Fuel\Core\Database_Exception Object ( [message:protected] => Unknown column 't0.COUNT(comm_id)' in 'field list' [ SELECT `t0`.`COUNT(comm_id)` AS `t0_c0`, `t0`.`comm_parent_id` AS `t0_c1` FROM `cms_comments` AS `t0` WHERE `t0`.`comm_type` = 'blog' AND `t0`.`comm_parent_id` IN ('19', '18', '17', '15', '14', '13', '12', '11', '9', '10', '7', '6', '5', '2', '4', '1', '3') ]

That's for the select() part. Still doesn't solve the group_by() part. I think it's not possible for now. My main concern when using Db methods was the

->from('cms_comments')

in raw. I just put

->from(call_user_func('\Cms\Model_Comment::table'))

to link it with the model. Works fine.
