You can execute DQL queries with Doctrine_Connection::query() method.
Doctrine_Query along with Doctrine_Expression provide an easy-to-use wrapper for writing DQL queries. Creating a new
query object can be done by either using the new operator or by calling create method. The create method exists for allowing easy
method call chaining.
