Copy huge amount of data in Cake style?

Hi,
How to do this query in Cake style like:
INSERT INTO tbl1 (fld_id)
SELECT tbl2.fld_order_id
FROM tbl2
WHERE tbl2.fld_order_id > 100;

I know two methods:
1.$data = $this->Model2->find(‘all’, … );
and $this->Model1->saveAll($data);

  • Not suitable , if I need more than 100k records (requred spetial setting for memory XXGiga bytes)
  1. $this->Model->query( INSERT …); It’s not Cake style :slight_smile:
    I have to create conditions on fly, and in that case Cake stle very helpful

Ideas?

Thank you.

You can use Shells for that, load the models and leave it running in the CLI

Yes I use Shells as well for this kind of “big data” :wink:

Some times I use CLI too. But I have situation when a user has to run that query.
Long way :

  1. A user create task “INSERT”
  2. Cron run it as CLI.

You can use a queue system.
For example cakephp-queue so that an user adds a jobs, and a constant cronjob waits for it and run it.

Thank you.
It’s strange I see few queue systems , but didn’t see that.
I use gearman with small mysql queue system.
