Instance Method Details

#*(ce = (arg=false;nil)) ⇒ Object

If no argument is given, returns a Sequel::SQL::ColumnAll object specifying all columns for this table. If an argument is given, returns a Sequel::SQL::NumericExpression using the * (multiplication) operator with this and the given argument.

:table.* # SQL: table.*
:column * 2 # SQL: column * 2

def *(ce=(arg=false;nil))
  return super(ce) unless arg == false
  Sequel::SQL::ColumnAll.new(self);
end

#sql_function(*args) ⇒ Object Also known as: []

Returns a Sequel::SQL::Function with this as the function name, and the given arguments. This is aliased as Symbol#[] if the RUBY_VERSION is less than 1.9.0. Ruby 1.9 defines Symbol#[], and Sequel doesn’t override methods defined by ruby itself.

:now.sql_function # SQL: now()
:sum.sql_function(:a) # SQL: sum(a)
:concat.sql_function(:a, :b) # SQL: concat(a, b)
