How to limit size of result set in doctrine 2?

Solution 1:

In Doctrine 2.1 method EntityRepository#findBy() now accepts additional parameters for ordering, limit and offset.

~~see full list new features in doctrine 2.1~~ (404) Relevant link to findBy and findOneBy

example:

 public function findBy(array $criteria, array $orderBy = null, $limit = null, $offset = null)

usage:

$product = $repository->findBy(
    array('name' => 'foo'),
    array('price' => 'ASC'),
    $myLimit,
    $myOffset
);

For Doctrine Query Language you have:

QueryBuilder::setMaxResults(integer $maxResults)
