I have to agree with Andreas. Personally I only use Propel for very basic things like retreiveByPk, doDelete, … etc

For all other queries I prefer writing my own sql statements, which I can optimize by studying it with the sql EXPLAIN syntax.

To be honest I dont find the Propel Criteria simple at all. I have to type soo many characters just to do a simple SELECT with a WHERE clause. Doctrine’s DQL is a lot more intuitive and accomplish the same using less code. Joins and modification of the columns to select is just painful with Propel Criteria.

Many moons ago I created an online utility to convert simple SQL into Propel statements. It is quite useful for beginners, I think.

I have had some interest in upgrading this too, so hopefully at some point it will get extra functionality.
