[Solved] Help with querybuilders GetSelect needed

edited August 2013 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I want to create a view in 2.0.18.8 and found that instruction:

$View = $Database->Select('rp.*')   
   ->Select('p.Name', '', 'Permission')   
   ->From('RolePermission rp')
   ->Join('Permission p', 'rp.PermissionID = p.PermissionID')
   ->GetSelect();
$Construct->View('vw_RolePermission', $View);

So I try:

$Database = Gdn::Database();
$Sql = $Database->Select('*')->From('User')->GetSelect(); 

But I receive that error: Fatal error: Call to undefined method Gdn_Database::Select()

How can I use the GetSelect function to get back the SQL I need for creating the view?

    @x00: but GetSelect is the most Vanilla way to create a view, isn't it? I'm supposed to pass in a sql into the view function and I think it's better to build it and not to code it manually.

    My example was just an example. I want to join two (huge) tables I create in a plugin (and I just can wait to release it!)

    Are you wanting to create a mySQL View? This is not the same as a view as in a controller view that renders a page.

    grep is your friend.

    Yes, I've needed a view in the database and your first response was a perfect fit to my question, thanks for that!
    My problem from the opening posting is solved and I've already tested it.

    But I was just wondering if there is another way of creating a (database) view than the above mentioned, because you said that GetSelect is rarely used and I might use Get instead. I think you were meaning that more general, but because I want to learn, I thought I ask again to be sure ;-)

    What I'm saying is very rarely are query strings directly needed outside this abstraction.

    Instead of database views there are also object caching options.

    grep is your friend.
