The DBQuery class

The DBQuery class is a query builder which helps you create SQL queries. For instance:

$sql = new DbQuery();
$sql->select('*');
$sql->from('cms', 'c');
$sql->innerJoin('cms_lang', 'l', 'c.id_cms = l.id_cms AND l.id_lang = '.(int)$id_lang);
$sql->where('c.active = 1');
$sql->orderBy('position');
return Db::getInstance()->executeS($sql);
