To read the current row of data, call DataReader::read. The method DataReader::readAll returns all the rows in a single array. Rows of data can also be read by iterating through the reader. For example, php $command = $connection->createCommand('SELECT * FROM post'); $reader = $command->query(); while ($row = $reader->read()) { $rows[] = $row; } equivalent to: foreach ($reader as $row) { $rows[] = $row; } equivalent to: $rows = $reader->readAll(); Note that since DataReader is a forward-only stream, you can only traverse it once. Doing it the second time will throw an exception. It is possible to use a specific mode of data fetching by setting [[fetchMode]]. See the PHP manual for more details about possible fetch mode.
