Feature: #87776 - Limit Restriction to table/s in QueryBuilder

See forge#87776

Description

In some cases it is needed to apply restrictions only to a certain table. With the new \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Database\Query\Restriction\LimitToTablesRestrictionContainer it is possible to apply restrictions to a query only for a given set of tables, or to be precise, table aliases. Since it is a restriction container, it can be added to the restrictions of the query builder and it can hold restrictions itself. The restrictions it holds can be limited to tables like this:

Example implementation:

$queryBuilder = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ConnectionPool::class)->getQueryBuilderForTable('tt_content');
$queryBuilder->getRestrictions()
    ->removeByType(HiddenRestriction::class)
    ->add(
        GeneralUtility::makeInstance(LimitToTablesRestrictionContainer::class)
            ->addForTables(GeneralUtility::makeInstance(HiddenRestriction::class), ['tt'])
    );
$queryBuilder->select('tt.uid', 'tt.header', 'sc.title')
    ->from('tt_content', 'tt')
    ->from('sys_category', 'sc')
    ->from('sys_category_record_mm', 'scmm')
    ->where(
        $queryBuilder->expr()->eq('scmm.uid_foreign', $queryBuilder->quoteIdentifier('tt.uid')),
        $queryBuilder->expr()->eq('scmm.uid_local', $queryBuilder->quoteIdentifier('sc.uid')),
        $queryBuilder->expr()->eq('tt.uid', $queryBuilder->createNamedParameter($id, \PDO::PARAM_INT))
    );
Copied!

In this example the HiddenRestriction is only applied to tt table alias of tt_content.

Furthermore it is possible to restrict the complete set of restrictions of a query builder to a given set of table aliases.

$queryBuilder = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ConnectionPool::class)->getQueryBuilderForTable('tt_content');
$queryBuilder->getRestrictions()->removeAll()->add(GeneralUtility::makeInstance(HiddenRestriction::class));
$queryBuilder->getRestrictions()->limitRestrictionsToTables(['c2']);
$queryBuilder
   ->select('c1.*')
   ->from('tt_content', 'c1')
   ->leftJoin('c1', 'tt_content', 'c2', 'c1.parent_field = c2.uid')
   ->orWhere($queryBuilder->expr()->isNull('c2.uid'), $queryBuilder->expr()->eq('c2.pid', $queryBuilder->createNamedParameter(1, \PDO::PARAM_INT)));
Copied!

Which will result in:

SELECT "c1".*
FROM "tt_content" "c1"
LEFT JOIN "tt_content" "c2" ON c1.parent_field = c2.uid
WHERE (("c2"."uid" IS NULL) OR ("c2"."pid" = 1)) AND ("c2"."hidden" = 0))
Copied!

Impact

It is now easily possible to add restrictions that are only applied to certain tables/ table aliases, by using \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Database\Query\Restriction\LimitToTablesRestrictionContainer .
