Overview

A column that is used to access sql data and transform it into the no sql database

Structure

Structure for defining a column is as follows:

column "name", :type, {options}

Columns with no type given will be set to :string

Notes

Leaving a column out when defining a table will result in a copy of the information (as a string).

Types

Types of columns are supported:

:key                  # Columns that are primary keys need to be marked as :key type
:integer              # Will be converted to a integer
:float                # Will be converted to a float
:decimal              # Will be converted to a string *(you can change default behaviour read below)
:string               # Will be converted to a string
:text                 # Will be converted to a string
:datetime             # Will be converted to a Time format (DateTime is not currently supported in the Mongo ruby driver)
:date                 # Will be converted to a Time format (Date is not currently supported in the Mongo ruby driver)
:timestamps           # Will be converted to a Time format
:time                 # Will be converted to a Time format (the date portion of the Time object will be 2000-01-01)
:binary               # Will be converted to a string
:boolean              # Will be converted to a true or false values

Options

column "post_id", :integer, :referneces => :posts   # Referenced columns need to be marked as such, this will mean that they will be updated
                                                    # with the new BSON::ObjectID.

NOTE: if you rename the table ‘posts’, you should set the :references to the new name

column "name", :string, :ignore => true             # Ignoring a column will make the column NOT copy over to the new database

column "surname", :string, :rename_to => 'last_name'# Rename_to allows you to rename the column

column "post_id", :integer, :auto_detect => true    # Will run auto detect and make this column a :references => 'posts', :on => 'post_id' for you
                                                    # More used when reading a sql database, NOT recommended for use during processing of translation

For decimal columns you can specify a few options:

column "total",                                     # This is a default conversion setting.
       :decimal,
       :as => 'string'                              

column "total",                                     # You can specify to convert your decimal to integer
        :decimal,                                   # specifying scale will define how many decimal places to keep
        :as => 'integer',                           # Example: :scale => 2 will convert 123.4567 to 12346 in to mongodb
        :scale => 2

Decimal Storage

Unfortunately MongoDB Ruby Drivers doesn’t support BigDecimal, so to ensure all data is stored correctly (without losing information) I’ve chosen to store as String, however you can overwrite this functionality in one of two ways: The reason you would want to do this, is to make this searchable via a query.

1) You can specify :as => ‘integer’, :scale => 2

column "total", :decimal, :as => 'integer', :scale => 2

#It would take a value of 123.456 and store it as an integer of value 12346

<b>2) You can specify your own custom conversion by doing a Table#before_save

Example:

table "invoice" do
  column "name", :string
  column "total", :decimal
  before_save do |row|
    row.total = (BigDecimal.new(row.total) * 1000).round
  end
end

This would take 123.456789 in the total column and convert it to an interger of value 123457 (and in your app you can convert it back to a decimal)

REMEMBER there is a limit on how big of an integer you can store in BSON/MongoDB (bsonspec.org/#/specification)

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(meth, *args, &blk) ⇒ Object

Sets up a accessor method for an option

def rename_to=(value)
  options['rename_to'] = value
end
def rename_to
  options['rename_to']
end
