WP_Meta_Query::get_sql_for_query( array $query, int $depth )

Generate SQL clauses for a single query array.

Description

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

Parameters

$query

(array) (Required) Query to parse (passed by reference).

$depth

(int) (Optional) Number of tree levels deep we currently are. Used to calculate indentation. Default 0.

Return

(array) Array containing JOIN and WHERE SQL clauses to append to a single query array.

  • 'join'
    (string) SQL fragment to append to the main JOIN clause.
  • 'where'
    (string) SQL fragment to append to the main WHERE clause.
