Query with EXISTS for Doctrine Symfony2
You either need to use two query builders:
$queryBuilder->expr()->exists($subQueryBuilder->getDql());
or use DQL directly:
$queryBuilder->expr()->exists('SELECT * FROM r WHERE r.t_id = t.id AND r.status = 1');
You'll find more examples in the docs: http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/current/reference/query-builder.html
