Overview

A dataset represents an SQL query, or more generally, an abstract set of rows in the database. Datasets can be used to create, retrieve, update and delete records.

Query results are always retrieved on demand, so a dataset can be kept around and reused indefinitely (datasets never cache results):

my_posts = DB[:posts].filter(:author => 'david') # no records are retrieved
my_posts.all # records are retrieved
my_posts.all # records are retrieved again

Most dataset methods return modified copies of the dataset (functional style), so you can reuse different datasets to access data:

posts = DB[:posts]
davids_posts = posts.filter(:author => 'david')
old_posts = posts.filter('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7)
davids_old_posts = davids_posts.filter('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7)

Datasets are Enumerable objects, so they can be manipulated using any of the Enumerable methods, such as map, inject, etc.

For more information, see the “Dataset Basics” guide.

Constructor Details

#initialize(db, opts = nil) ⇒ Dataset

Constructs a new Dataset instance with an associated database and options. Datasets are usually constructed by invoking the Database#[] method:

DB[:posts]

Sequel::Dataset is an abstract class that is not useful by itself. Each database adapter provides a subclass of Sequel::Dataset, and has the Database#dataset method return an instance of that subclass.

.register_extension(ext, mod = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Register an extension callback for Dataset objects. ext should be the extension name symbol, and mod should either be a Module that the dataset is extended with, or a callable object called with the database object. If mod is not provided, a block can be provided and is treated as the mod object.

If mod is a module, this also registers a Database extension that will extend all of the database’s datasets.

#columns ⇒ Object Also known as: columns_without_introspection

Returns the columns in the result set in order as an array of symbols. If the columns are currently cached, returns the cached value. Otherwise, a SELECT query is performed to retrieve a single row in order to get the columns.

If you are looking for all columns for a single table and maybe some information about each column (e.g. database type), see Database#schema.

#except(dataset, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Adds an EXCEPT clause using a second dataset object. An EXCEPT compound dataset returns all rows in the current dataset that are not in the given dataset. Raises an InvalidOperation if the operation is not supported. Options:

:alias

Use the given value as the from_self alias

:all

Set to true to use EXCEPT ALL instead of EXCEPT, so duplicate rows can occur

:from_self

Set to false to not wrap the returned dataset in a from_self, use with care.

DB[:items].select_group(:name).exclude_where(:category => 'software')
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (category != 'software')

DB[:items].select_group(:name).
  exclude_having{count(name) < 2}.

162
 
# File 'lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb', line 160

def extension(*exts)

end

#extension!(*exts) ⇒ Object

Load an extension into the receiver. In addition to requiring the extension file, this also modifies the dataset to work with the extension (usually extending it with a module defined in the extension file). If no related extension file exists or the extension does not have specific support for Database objects, an Error will be raised. Returns self.

    end
  end
  self
end

#fetch_rows(sql) ⇒ Object

Executes a select query and fetches records, yielding each record to the supplied block. The yielded records should be hashes with symbol keys. This method should probably should not be called by user code, use each instead.

Raises:

170
 
# File 'lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb', line 168

def fetch_rows(sql)
  raise NotImplemented, NOTIMPL_MSG
end

#filter(*cond, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns a copy of the dataset with the given conditions imposed upon it.

If the query already has a HAVING clause, then the conditions are imposed in the HAVING clause. If not, then they are imposed in the WHERE clause.

filter accepts the following argument types:

  • Hash - list of equality/inclusion expressions

  • Array - depends:

    • If first member is a string, assumes the rest of the arguments are parameters and interpolates them into the string.

    • If all members are arrays of length two, treats the same way as a hash, except it allows for duplicate keys to be specified.

    • Otherwise, treats each argument as a separate condition.

  • String - taken literally

  • Symbol - taken as a boolean column argument (e.g. WHERE active)

  • Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression - an existing condition expression, probably created using the Sequel expression filter DSL.

filter also takes a block, which should return one of the above argument types, and is treated the same way. This block yields a virtual row object, which is easy to use to create identifiers and functions. For more details on the virtual row support, see the “Virtual Rows” guide

If both a block and regular argument are provided, they get ANDed together.

Examples:

DB[:items].filter(:id => 3)
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (id = 3)

DB[:items].filter('price < ?', 100)
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE price < 100

DB[:items].filter([[:id, [1,2,3]], [:id, 0..10]])
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((id IN (1, 2, 3)) AND ((id >= 0) AND (id <= 10)))

DB[:items].filter('price < 100')
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE price < 100

DB[:items].filter(:active)
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE :active

DB[:items].filter{price < 100}
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (price < 100)

Multiple filter calls can be chained for scoping:

software = dataset.filter(:category => 'software').filter{price < 100}
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((category = 'software') AND (price < 100))

See the the “Dataset Filtering” guide for more examples and details.

def filter(*cond, &block)
  _filter(@opts[:having] ? :having : :where, *cond, &block)
end

#first(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

If a integer argument is given, it is interpreted as a limit, and then returns all matching records up to that limit. If no argument is passed, it returns the first matching record. If any other type of argument(s) is passed, it is given to filter and the first matching record is returned. If a block is given, it is used to filter the dataset before returning anything. Examples:

DB[:table].first # SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1
# => {:id=>7}

DB[:table].first(2) # SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 2
# => [{:id=>6}, {:id=>4}]

DB[:table].first(:id=>2) # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 2) LIMIT 1
# => {:id=>2}

DB[:table].first("id = 3") # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 3) LIMIT 1
# => {:id=>3}

DB[:table].first("id = ?", 4) # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 4) LIMIT 1
# => {:id=>4}

DB[:table].first{id > 2} # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id > 2) LIMIT 1
# => {:id=>5}

DB[:table].first("id > ?", 4){id < 6} # SELECT * FROM table WHERE ((id > 4) AND (id < 6)) LIMIT 1
# => {:id=>5}

DB[:table].first(2){id < 2} # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id < 2) LIMIT 2

#graph(dataset, join_conditions = nil, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Allows you to join multiple datasets/tables and have the result set split into component tables.

This differs from the usual usage of join, which returns the result set as a single hash. For example:

# CREATE TABLE artists (id INTEGER, name TEXT);
# CREATE TABLE albums (id INTEGER, name TEXT, artist_id INTEGER);

DB[:artists].left_outer_join(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).first
#=> {:id=>albums.id, :name=>albums.name, :artist_id=>albums.artist_id}

DB[:artists].graph(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).first
#=> {:artists=>{:id=>artists.id, :name=>artists.name}, :albums=>{:id=>albums.id, :name=>albums.name, :artist_id=>albums.artist_id}}

Using a join such as left_outer_join, the attribute names that are shared between the tables are combined in the single return hash. You can get around that by using select with correct aliases for all of the columns, but it is simpler to use graph and have the result set split for you. In addition, graph respects any row_proc of the current dataset and the datasets you use with graph.

If you are graphing a table and all columns for that table are nil, this indicates that no matching rows existed in the table, so graph will return nil instead of a hash with all nil values:

# If the artist doesn't have any albums
DB[:artists].graph(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).first
=> {:artists=>{:id=>artists.id, :name=>artists.name}, :albums=>nil}

Arguments:

dataset

Can be a symbol (specifying a table), another dataset, or an object that responds to dataset and returns a symbol or a dataset

join_conditions

Any condition(s) allowed by join_table.

block

A block that is passed to join_table.

Options:

:from_self_alias

The alias to use when the receiver is not a graphed dataset but it contains multiple FROM tables or a JOIN. In this case, the receiver is wrapped in a from_self before graphing, and this option determines the alias to use.

:implicit_qualifier

The qualifier of implicit conditions, see #join_table.

:join_type

The type of join to use (passed to join_table). Defaults to :left_outer.

:qualify

The type of qualification to do, see #join_table.

:select

An array of columns to select. When not used, selects all columns in the given dataset. When set to false, selects no columns and is like simply joining the tables, though graph keeps some metadata about the join that makes it important to use graph instead of join_table.

:table_alias

The alias to use for the table. If not specified, doesn’t alias the table. You will get an error if the the alias (or table) name is used more than once.

#grep(columns, patterns, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Match any of the columns to any of the patterns. The terms can be strings (which use LIKE) or regular expressions (which are only supported on MySQL and PostgreSQL). Note that the total number of pattern matches will be Array(columns).length * Array(terms).length, which could cause performance issues.

Options (all are boolean):

:all_columns

All columns must be matched to any of the given patterns.

:all_patterns

All patterns must match at least one of the columns.

:case_insensitive

Use a case insensitive pattern match (the default is case sensitive if the database supports it).

If both :all_columns and :all_patterns are true, all columns must match all patterns.

Examples:

dataset.grep(:a, '%test%')
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (a LIKE '%test%')

dataset.grep([:a, :b], %w'%test% foo')
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((a LIKE '%test%') OR (a LIKE 'foo') OR (b LIKE '%test%') OR (b LIKE 'foo'))

dataset.grep([:a, :b], %w'%foo% %bar%', :all_patterns=>true)
# SELECT * FROM a WHERE (((a LIKE '%foo%') OR (b LIKE '%foo%')) AND ((a LIKE '%bar%') OR (b LIKE '%bar%')))

dataset.grep([:a, :b], %w'%foo% %bar%', :all_columns=>true)
# SELECT * FROM a WHERE (((a LIKE '%foo%') OR (a LIKE '%bar%')) AND ((b LIKE '%foo%') OR (b LIKE '%bar%')))

dataset.grep([:a, :b], %w'%foo% %bar%', :all_patterns=>true, :all_columns=>true)

Examples:

DB[:items].group_and_count(:name).all
# SELECT name, count(*) AS count FROM items GROUP BY name 
# => [{:name=>'a', :count=>1}, ...]

#import(columns, values, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Inserts multiple records into the associated table. This method can be used to efficiently insert a large number of records into a table in a single query if the database supports it. Inserts are automatically wrapped in a transaction.

This method is called with a columns array and an array of value arrays:

DB[:table].import([:x, :y], [[1, 2], [3, 4]])
# INSERT INTO table (x, y) VALUES (1, 2) 
# INSERT INTO table (x, y) VALUES (3, 4)

This method also accepts a dataset instead of an array of value arrays:

DB[:table].import([:x, :y], DB[:table2].select(:a, :b))
# INSERT INTO table (x, y) SELECT a, b FROM table2

Options:

:commit_every

Open a new transaction for every given number of records. For example, if you provide a value of 50, will commit after every 50 records.

:server

Set the server/shard to use for the transaction and insert queries.

:slice

Same as :commit_every, :commit_every takes precedence.

#insert(*values, &block) ⇒ Object

Inserts values into the associated table. The returned value is generally the value of the primary key for the inserted row, but that is adapter dependent.

insert handles a number of different argument formats:

no arguments or single empty hash

Uses DEFAULT VALUES

single hash

Most common format, treats keys as columns an values as values

single array

Treats entries as values, with no columns

two arrays

Treats first array as columns, second array as values

single Dataset

Treats as an insert based on a selection from the dataset given, with no columns

array and dataset

Treats as an insert based on a selection from the dataset given, with the columns given by the array.

Examples:

DB[:items].insert
# INSERT INTO items DEFAULT VALUES

DB[:items].insert({})
# INSERT INTO items DEFAULT VALUES

DB[:items].insert([1,2,3])
# INSERT INTO items VALUES (1, 2, 3)

DB[:items].insert([:a, :b], [1,2])
# INSERT INTO items (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)

DB[:items].insert(:a => 1, :b => 2)
# INSERT INTO items (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)

DB[:items].insert(DB[:old_items])
# INSERT INTO items SELECT * FROM old_items

DB[:items].insert([:a, :b], DB[:old_items])
# INSERT INTO items (a, b) SELECT * FROM old_items

#insert_multiple(array, &block) ⇒ Object

Inserts multiple values. If a block is given it is invoked for each item in the given array before inserting it. See multi_insert as a possibly faster version that may be able to insert multiple records in one SQL statement (if supported by the database). Returns an array of primary keys of inserted rows.

DB[:table].insert_multiple([{:x=>1}, {:x=>2}])
# => [4, 5]
# INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (1)
# INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (2)

#intersect(dataset, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Adds an INTERSECT clause using a second dataset object. An INTERSECT compound dataset returns all rows in both the current dataset and the given dataset. Raises an InvalidOperation if the operation is not supported. Options:

:alias

Use the given value as the from_self alias

:all

Set to true to use INTERSECT ALL instead of INTERSECT, so duplicate rows can occur

:from_self

Set to false to not wrap the returned dataset in a from_self, use with care.

DB[:items].intersect(DB[:other_items])
# SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM items INTERSECT SELECT * FROM other_items) AS t1

#join_table(type, table, expr = nil, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns a joined dataset. Not usually called directly, users should use the appropriate join method (e.g. join, left_join, natural_join, cross_join) which fills in the type argument.

Takes the following arguments:

  • type - The type of join to do (e.g. :inner)

  • table - Depends on type:

    • Dataset - a subselect is performed with an alias of tN for some value of N

    • String, Symbol: table

  • expr - specifies conditions, depends on type:

    • Hash, Array of two element arrays - Assumes key (1st arg) is column of joined table (unless already qualified), and value (2nd arg) is column of the last joined or primary table (or the :implicit_qualifier option). To specify multiple conditions on a single joined table column, you must use an array. Uses a JOIN with an ON clause.

    • Array - If all members of the array are symbols, considers them as columns and uses a JOIN with a USING clause. Most databases will remove duplicate columns from the result set if this is used.

    • nil - If a block is not given, doesn’t use ON or USING, so the JOIN should be a NATURAL or CROSS join. If a block is given, uses an ON clause based on the block, see below.

    • Everything else - pretty much the same as a using the argument in a call to filter, so strings are considered literal, symbols specify boolean columns, and Sequel expressions can be used. Uses a JOIN with an ON clause.

  • options - a hash of options, with any of the following keys:

    • :table_alias - the name of the table’s alias when joining, necessary for joining to the same table more than once. No alias is used by default.

    • :implicit_qualifier - The name to use for qualifying implicit conditions. By default, the last joined or primary table is used.

    • :qualify - Can be set to false to not do any implicit qualification. Can be set to :deep to use the Qualifier AST Transformer, which will attempt to qualify subexpressions of the expression tree.

  • block - The block argument should only be given if a JOIN with an ON clause is used, in which case it yields the table alias/name for the table currently being joined, the table alias/name for the last joined (or first table), and an array of previous SQL::JoinClause. Unlike filter, this block is not treated as a virtual row block.

Examples:

DB[:a].join_table(:cross, :b)
# SELECT * FROM a CROSS JOIN b

DB[:a].join_table(:inner, DB[:b], :c=>d)
# SELECT * FROM a INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM b) AS t1 ON (t1.c = a.d)

DB[:a].join_table(:left, :b___c, [:d])
# SELECT * FROM a LEFT JOIN b AS c USING (d)

DB[:a].natural_join(:b).join_table(:inner, :c) do |ta, jta, js|
  (Sequel.qualify(ta, :d) > Sequel.qualify(jta, :e)) & {Sequel.qualify(ta, :f)=>DB.from(js.first.table).select(:g)}
end
# SELECT * FROM a NATURAL JOIN b INNER JOIN c
#   ON ((c.d > b.e) AND (c.f IN (SELECT g FROM b)))

#prepare(type, name = nil, *values) ⇒ Object

Prepare an SQL statement for later execution. Takes a type similar to #call, and the name symbol of the prepared statement. While name defaults to nil, it should always be provided as a symbol for the name of the prepared statement, as some databases require that prepared statements have names.

This returns a clone of the dataset extended with PreparedStatementMethods, which you can call with the hash of bind variables to use. The prepared statement is also stored in the associated database, where it can be called by name. The following usage is identical:

ps = DB[:table].filter(:name=>:$name).prepare(:first, :select_by_name)

ps.call(:name=>'Blah')
# SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = ? -- ('Blah')
# => {:id=>1, :name=>'Blah'}

#qualify_to_first_source ⇒ Object

Qualify the dataset to its current first source. This is useful if you have unqualified identifiers in the query that all refer to the first source, and you want to join to another table which has columns with the same name as columns in the current dataset. See qualify_to.

DB[:items].filter(:id=>1).qualify_to_first_source

#query(&block) ⇒ Object

Translates a query block into a dataset. Query blocks can be useful when expressing complex SELECT statements, e.g.:

dataset = DB[:items].query do
  select :x, :y, :z
  filter{(x > 1) & (y > 2)}
  reverse :z
end

Which is the same as:

dataset = DB[:items].select(:x, :y, :z).filter{(x > 1) & (y > 2)}.reverse(:z)

Note that inside a call to query, you cannot call each, insert, update, or delete (or any method that calls those), or Sequel will raise an error.

Selects the column given (either as an argument or as a block), and returns an array of all values of that column in the dataset. If you give a block argument that returns an array with multiple entries, the contents of the resulting array are undefined. Raises an Error if called with both an argument and a block.

DB[:table].select_map(:id) # SELECT id FROM table
# => [3, 5, 8, 1, ...]

DB[:table].select_map{id * 2} # SELECT (id * 2) FROM table
# => [6, 10, 16, 2, ...]

You can also provide an array of column names:

def select_more(*columns, &block)
  columns = @opts[:select] + columns if @opts[:select]
  select(*columns, &block)
end

#select_order_map(column = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

The same as select_map, but in addition orders the array by the column.

DB[:table].select_order_map(:id) # SELECT id FROM table ORDER BY id
# => [1, 2, 3, 4, ...]

DB[:table].select_order_map{id * 2} # SELECT (id * 2) FROM table ORDER BY (id * 2)
# => [2, 4, 6, 8, ...]

You can also provide an array of column names:

DB[:table].select_order_map([:id, :name]) # SELECT id, name FROM table ORDER BY id, name
# => [[1, 'A'], [2, 'B'], [3, 'C'], ...]

If you provide an array of expressions, you must be sure that each entry in the array has an alias that Sequel can determine. Usually you can do this by calling the #as method on the expression and providing an alias.

def select_order_map(column=nil, &block)
  _select_map(column, true, &block)
end

#select_remove(*cols) ⇒ Object

Remove columns from the list of selected columns. If any of the currently selected columns use expressions/aliases, this will remove selected columns with the given aliases. It will also remove entries from the selection that match exactly:

# Assume columns a, b, and c in items table
DB[:items] # SELECT * FROM items
DB[:items].select_remove(:c) # SELECT a, b FROM items
DB[:items].select(:a, :b___c, :c___b).select_remove(:c) # SELECT a, c AS b FROM items
DB[:items].select(:a, :b___c, :c___b).select_remove(:c___b) # SELECT a, b AS c FROM items

Note that there are a few cases where this method may not work correctly:

  • This dataset joins multiple tables and does not have an existing explicit selection. In this case, the code will currently use unqualified column names for all columns the dataset returns, except for the columns given.

  • This dataset has an existing explicit selection containing an item that returns multiple database columns (e.g. Sequel.expr(:table).*, Sequel.lit(‘column1, column2’)). In this case, the behavior is undefined and this method should not be used.

There may be other cases where this method does not work correctly, use it with caution.

#server(servr) ⇒ Object

Set the server for this dataset to use. Used to pick a specific database shard to run a query against, or to override the default (where SELECT uses :read_only database and all other queries use the :default database). This method is always available but is only useful when database sharding is being used.

DB[:items].all # Uses the :read_only or :default server 
DB[:items].delete # Uses the :default server
DB[:items].server(:blah).delete # Uses the :blah server

526
527
 
# File 'lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb', line 525

def set(*args)
  update(*args)
end

#set_defaults(hash) ⇒ Object

Set the default values for insert and update statements. The values hash passed to insert or update are merged into this hash, so any values in the hash passed to insert or update will override values passed to this method.

DB[:items].set_defaults(:a=>'a', :c=>'c').insert(:a=>'d', :b=>'b')
# INSERT INTO items (a, c, b) VALUES ('d', 'c', 'b')

def set_defaults(hash)
  clone(:defaults=>(@opts[:defaults]||{}).merge(hash))
end

#set_graph_aliases(graph_aliases) ⇒ Object

This allows you to manually specify the graph aliases to use when using graph. You can use it to only select certain columns, and have those columns mapped to specific aliases in the result set. This is the equivalent of select for a graphed dataset, and must be used instead of select whenever graphing is used.

graph_aliases

Should be a hash with keys being symbols of column aliases, and values being either symbols or arrays with one to three elements. If the value is a symbol, it is assumed to be the same as a one element array containing that symbol. The first element of the array should be the table alias symbol. The second should be the actual column name symbol. If the array only has a single element the column name symbol will be assumed to be the same as the corresponding hash key. If the array has a third element, it is used as the value returned, instead of table_alias.column_name.

DB[:artists].graph(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).
  set_graph_aliases(:name=>:artists,
                    :album_name=>[:albums, :name],
                    :forty_two=>[:albums, :fourtwo, 42]).first
# SELECT artists.name, albums.name AS album_name, 42 AS forty_two ...

  ds
end

#set_overrides(hash) ⇒ Object

Set values that override hash arguments given to insert and update statements. This hash is merged into the hash provided to insert or update, so values will override any values given in the insert/update hashes.

DB[:items].set_overrides(:a=>'a', :c=>'c').insert(:a=>'d', :b=>'b')
# INSERT INTO items (a, c, b) VALUES ('a', 'c', 'b')

#unbind ⇒ Object

Unbind bound variables from this dataset’s filter and return an array of two objects. The first object is a modified dataset where the filter has been replaced with one that uses bound variable placeholders. The second object is the hash of unbound variables. You can then prepare and execute (or just call) the dataset with the bound variables to get results.

#union(dataset, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Adds a UNION clause using a second dataset object. A UNION compound dataset returns all rows in either the current dataset or the given dataset. Options:

:alias

Use the given value as the from_self alias

:all

Set to true to use UNION ALL instead of UNION, so duplicate rows can occur

:from_self

Set to false to not wrap the returned dataset in a from_self, use with care.

DB[:items].union(DB[:other_items])
# SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM items UNION SELECT * FROM other_items) AS t1

#unused_table_alias(table_alias, used_aliases = []) ⇒ Object

Creates a unique table alias that hasn’t already been used in the dataset. table_alias can be any type of object accepted by alias_symbol. The symbol returned will be the implicit alias in the argument, possibly appended with “_N” if the implicit alias has already been used, where N is an integer starting at 0 and increasing until an unused one is found.

You can provide a second addition array argument containing symbols that should not be considered valid table aliases. The current aliases for the FROM and JOIN tables are automatically included in this array.

DB[:table].unused_table_alias(:t)
# => :t

DB[:table].unused_table_alias(:table)
# => :table_0

DB[:table, :table_0].unused_table_alias(:table)
# => :table_1

DB[:table, :table_0].unused_table_alias(:table, [:table_1, :table_2])
# => :table_3

#update(values = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Updates values for the dataset. The returned value is generally the number of rows updated, but that is adapter dependent. values should a hash where the keys are columns to set and values are the values to which to set the columns.

DB[:table].update(:x=>nil) # UPDATE table SET x = NULL
# => 10

DB[:table].update(:x=>:x+1, :y=>0) # UPDATE table SET x = (x + 1), y = 0

#with(name, dataset, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a common table expression (CTE) with the given name and a dataset that defines the CTE. A common table expression acts as an inline view for the query. Options:

:args

Specify the arguments/columns for the CTE, should be an array of symbols.

:recursive

Specify that this is a recursive CTE

DB[:items].with(:items, DB[:syx].filter(:name.like('A%')))
# WITH items AS (SELECT * FROM syx WHERE (name LIKE 'A%')) SELECT * FROM items

#with_recursive(name, nonrecursive, recursive, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a recursive common table expression (CTE) with the given name, a dataset that defines the nonrecursive part of the CTE, and a dataset that defines the recursive part of the CTE. Options:

:args

Specify the arguments/columns for the CTE, should be an array of symbols.

:union_all

Set to false to use UNION instead of UNION ALL combining the nonrecursive and recursive parts.

DB[:t].select(:i___id, :pi___parent_id).
 with_recursive(:t,
                DB[:i1].filter(:parent_id=>nil),

#with_sql(sql, *args) ⇒ Object

Returns a copy of the dataset with the static SQL used. This is useful if you want to keep the same row_proc/graph, but change the SQL used to custom SQL.

DB[:items].with_sql('SELECT * FROM foo') # SELECT * FROM foo

You can use placeholders in your SQL and provide arguments for those placeholders:

DB[:items].with_sql('SELECT ? FROM foo', 1) # SELECT 1 FROM foo

You can also provide a method name and arguments to call to get the SQL:

DB[:items].with_sql(:insert_sql, :b=>1) # INSERT INTO items (b) VALUES (1)
