batch() public method

A batch query supports fetching data in batches, which can keep the memory usage under a limit. This method will return a BatchQueryResult object which implements the [[\Iterator]] interface and can be traversed to retrieve the data in batches. For example, php $query = (new Query)->from('user'); foreach ($query->batch() as $rows) { $rows is an array of 100 or fewer rows from user table }
public batch ( integer $batchSize = 100, Connection $db = null ) : BatchQueryResult
$batchSize integer the number of records to be fetched in each batch.
$db Connection the database connection. If not set, the "db" application component will be used.
return BatchQueryResult the batch query result. It implements the [[\Iterator]] interface and can be traversed to retrieve the data in batches.
