Class: WP_Meta_Query  - X-Ref

Core class used to implement meta queries for the Meta API.

Used for generating SQL clauses that filter a primary query according to metadata keys and values.

WP_Meta_Query is a helper that allows primary query classes, such as WP_Query and WP_User_Query,

to filter their results by object metadata, by generating `JOIN` and `WHERE` subclauses to be attached
to the primary SQL query string.

__construct( $meta_query = false )   X-Ref
Constructor.

param: array $meta_query {

sanitize_query( $queries )   X-Ref
Ensures the 'meta_query' argument passed to the class constructor is well-formed.

Eliminates empty items and ensures that a 'relation' is set.

return: array Sanitized array of query clauses.
param: array $queries Array of query clauses.

is_first_order_clause( $query )   X-Ref
Determines whether a query clause is first-order.

A first-order meta query clause is one that has either a 'key' or
a 'value' array key.

return: bool Whether the query clause is a first-order clause.
param: array $query Meta query arguments.

parse_query_vars( $qv )   X-Ref
Constructs a meta query based on 'meta_*' query vars

param: array $qv The query variables.

get_cast_for_type( $type = '' )   X-Ref
Returns the appropriate alias for the given meta type if applicable.

return: string MySQL type.
param: string $type MySQL type to cast meta_value.

get_sql( $type, $primary_table, $primary_id_column, $context = null )   X-Ref
Generates SQL clauses to be appended to a main query.

return: string[]|false {
param: string $type              Type of meta. Possible values include but are not limited
param: string $primary_table     Database table where the object being filtered is stored (eg wp_users).
param: string $primary_id_column ID column for the filtered object in $primary_table.
param: object $context           Optional. The main query object that corresponds to the type, for

get_sql_clauses()   X-Ref
Generates SQL clauses to be appended to a main query.

Called by the public WP_Meta_Query::get_sql(), this method is abstracted
out to maintain parity with the other Query classes.

return: string[] {

get_sql_for_query( &$query, $depth = 0 )   X-Ref
Generates SQL clauses for a single query array.

If nested subqueries are found, this method recurses the tree to
produce the properly nested SQL.

return: string[] {
param: array $query Query to parse (passed by reference).
param: int   $depth Optional. Number of tree levels deep we currently are.

get_sql_for_clause( &$clause, $parent_query, $clause_key = '' )   X-Ref
Generates SQL JOIN and WHERE clauses for a first-order query clause.

"First-order" means that it's an array with a 'key' or 'value'.

return: array {
param: array  $clause       Query clause (passed by reference).
param: array  $parent_query Parent query array.
param: string $clause_key   Optional. The array key used to name the clause in the original `$meta_query`

get_clauses()   X-Ref
Gets a flattened list of sanitized meta clauses.

This array should be used for clause lookup, as when the table alias and CAST type must be determined for
a value of 'orderby' corresponding to a meta clause.

return: array Meta clauses.

find_compatible_table_alias( $clause, $parent_query )   X-Ref
Identifies an existing table alias that is compatible with the current
query clause.

We avoid unnecessary table joins by allowing each clause to look for
an existing table alias that is compatible with the query that it
needs to perform.

An existing alias is compatible if (a) it is a sibling of `$clause`
(ie, it's under the scope of the same relation), and (b) the combination
of operator and relation between the clauses allows for a shared table join.
In the case of WP_Meta_Query, this only applies to 'IN' clauses that are
connected by the relation 'OR'.

return: string|false Table alias if found, otherwise false.
param: array $clause       Query clause.
param: array $parent_query Parent query of $clause.

has_or_relation()   X-Ref
Checks whether the current query has any OR relations.

In some cases, the presence of an OR relation somewhere in the query will require
the use of a `DISTINCT` or `GROUP BY` keyword in the `SELECT` clause. The current
method can be used in these cases to determine whether such a clause is necessary.

return: bool True if the query contains any `OR` relations, otherwise false.
