我正在使用带有Doctrine的Symfony 2,并且我有两个实体加入了多对多的关联.
假设我有两个实体：User和Group,db上的相关表是users,groups和users_groups.

我想在DQL中获得前十大人口最多的组,但我不知道在连接表(users_groups)上执行查询的语法.我已经查看了Doctrine手册,但我没有找到解决方案,我想我还有很多需要了解的DQL.

在普通的sql中,它将是：

select distinct group_id,count(*) as cnt from users_groups group by group_id order by cnt desc limit 10

能帮我把它翻译成DQL吗？
