$query = $object->setTable('users')->setField('name')->flush();
// $object->table is set, setTable() returns the object instance.

// $object->field is set, setField() returns the object instance.

// The flush method is called on the object, returning the string.

-- Find Duplicate Input With MySQL
-- http://kvz.io/blog/2013/03/04/find-duplicate-input-with-mysql/
--
-- At my company we have employees creating customer accounts every day.
-- Sometimes we make mistakes, for instance, we forget to check if the company
-- already was a customer (maybe 10y ago they may have had a product).
--
-- Duplicate accounts can cause all sorts of problems, so I wanted way to detect
-- them with SQL.
--
-- The problem was, the company names may have been entered with different
-- punctuation, whitespace, etc. So I needed similar names to surface from the
-- depths of our database, not just exact matches (that would have been too easy
-- :)
--
-- For the solution I turned to SOUNDEX for fuzzy matching similar sounding
-- company names, and then review the results myself (false positives are
-- possible, but since they would be few, it becomes a simple task to
-- doublecheck) and report back to our company.
--
-- I thought I'd share
--
-- * partly because it could be useful to others (obviously this could be used
-- to detect all kinds of user generated typos and similar entries);
-- * mostly because I'm curious to find if there is a better (more performant)
-- way to write this query.
-- =============================================================================
--
-- Select all the individual company names that have a
-- soundex_code that occurs more than once (I now use a subquery for that)
SELECT
`id`,
`customer_name`,
SOUNDEX(`customer_name`) AS soundex_code
FROM `customers`
WHERE SOUNDEX(`customer_name`) IN (
-- Subquery: select all soundex_codes that occur more than once,
-- (this does not return the individual company names that share them)
SELECT SOUNDEX(`customer_name`) AS soundex_code
FROM `customers`
WHERE 1 = 1
AND `is_active` = 1
-- More specific criteria to define who you want to compare
GROUP BY soundex_code
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)
ORDER BY
soundex_code,
`customer_name`
--
-- This e.g. returns:
--
-- -----|------------------|------------------
-- id customer_name soundex_code
-- -----|------------------|------------------
