Using Raw SQL with Doctrine

sql symfony1 doctrine

I have some extremely complex queries that I need to use to generate a report in my application. I'm using symfony as my framework and doctrine as my ORM.

My question is this:

What is the best way to pass in highly-complex sql queries directly to Doctrine without converting them to the Doctrine Query Language? I've been reading about the Raw_SQL extension but it appears that you still need to pass the query in sections (like from()). Is there anything for just dumping in a bunch of raw sql commands?

$q = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->getCurrentConnection();
$result = $q->execute(" -- RAW SQL HERE -- ");

See the Doctrine API documentation for different execution methods.
