Overview

The mssql_emulate_lateral_with_apply extension converts queries that use LATERAL into queries that use CROSS/OUTER APPLY, allowing code that works on databases that support LATERAL via Dataset#lateral to run on Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase SQLAnywhere.

This is available as a separate extension instead of integrated into the Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase SQLAnywhere support because few people need it and there is a performance hit to code that doesn’t use it.

It is possible there are cases where this emulation does not work. Users should probably verify that correct results are returned when using this extension.

You can load this extension into specific datasets:

ds = DB[:table]
ds = ds.extension(:mssql_emulate_lateral_with_apply)

Or you can load it into all of a database’s datasets:

DB.extension(:mssql_emulate_lateral_with_apply)

.cache_anonymous_models ⇒ Object

Whether to cache the anonymous models created by Sequel::Model(). This is required for reloading them correctly (avoiding the superclass mismatch). True by default for backwards compatibility.

end

.convert_two_digit_years ⇒ Object

Sequel converts two digit years in Dates and DateTimes by default, so 01/02/03 is interpreted at January 2nd, 2003, and 12/13/99 is interpreted as December 13, 1999. You can override this to treat those dates as January 2nd, 0003 and December 13, 0099, respectively, by:

Sequel.convert_two_digit_years = false

# File 'lib/sequel/core.rb', line 36

def convert_two_digit_years
  @convert_two_digit_years
end

.datetime_class ⇒ Object

Sequel can use either Time or DateTime for times returned from the database. It defaults to Time. To change it to DateTime:

Sequel.datetime_class = DateTime

For ruby versions less than 1.9.2, Time has a limited range (1901 to 2038), so if you use datetimes out of that range, you need to switch to DateTime. Also, before 1.9.2, Time can only handle local and UTC times, not other timezones. Note that Time and DateTime objects have a different API, and in cases where they implement the same methods, they often implement them differently (e.g. + using seconds on Time and days on DateTime).

Class Method Details

.condition_specifier?(obj) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if the passed object could be a specifier of conditions, false otherwise. Currently, Sequel considers hashes and arrays of two element arrays as condition specifiers.

Sequel.condition_specifier?({}) # => true
Sequel.condition_specifier?([[1, 2]]) # => true
Sequel.condition_specifier?([]) # => false
Sequel.condition_specifier?([1]) # => false
Sequel.condition_specifier?(1) # => false

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    !obj.empty? && !obj.is_a?(SQL::ValueList) && obj.all?{|i| i.is_a?(Array) && (i.length == 2)}
  else
    false
  end
end

.connect(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Creates a new database object based on the supplied connection string and optional arguments. The specified scheme determines the database class used, and the rest of the string specifies the connection options. For example:

DB = Sequel.connect('sqlite:/') # Memory database
DB = Sequel.connect('sqlite://blog.db') # ./blog.db
DB = Sequel.connect('sqlite:///blog.db') # /blog.db
DB = Sequel.connect('postgres://user:password@host:port/database_name')
DB = Sequel.connect('sqlite:///blog.db', :max_connections=>10)

If a block is given, it is passed the opened Database object, which is closed when the block exits. For example:

Sequel.connect('sqlite://blog.db'){|db| puts db[:users].count}

For details, see the “Connecting to a Database” guide. To set up a master/slave or sharded database connection, see the “Master/Slave Databases and Sharding” guide.

  e = klass.new("#{exception.class}: #{exception.message}")
  e.wrapped_exception = exception
  e.set_backtrace(exception.backtrace)
  e
end

.core_extensions? ⇒ Boolean

This extension loads the core extensions.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


100
101
102
 
# File 'lib/sequel/core.rb', line 100

def self.core_extensions?
  false
end

.extension(*extensions) ⇒ Object

Load all Sequel extensions given. Extensions are just files that exist under sequel/extensions in the load path, and are just required. Generally, extensions modify the behavior of Database and/or Dataset, but Sequel ships with some extensions that modify other classes that exist for backwards compatibility. In some cases, requiring an extension modifies classes directly, and in others, it just loads a module that you can extend other classes with. Consult the documentation for each extension you plan on using for usage.

Sequel.extension(:schema_dumper)
Sequel.extension(:pagination, :query)

# File 'lib/sequel/core.rb', line 125

def self.extension(*extensions)
  extensions.each{|e| Kernel.require "sequel/extensions/#{e}"}
end

.identifier_input_method=(value) ⇒ Object

Set the method to call on identifiers going into the database. This affects the literalization of identifiers by calling this method on them before they are input. Sequel upcases identifiers in all SQL strings for most databases, so to turn that off:

Sequel.identifier_input_method = nil

to downcase instead:

Sequel.identifier_input_method = :downcase

Other String instance methods work as well.

142
 
# File 'lib/sequel/core.rb', line 140

def self.identifier_input_method=(value)
  Database.identifier_input_method = value
end

.identifier_output_method=(value) ⇒ Object

Set the method to call on identifiers coming out of the database. This affects the literalization of identifiers by calling this method on them when they are retrieved from the database. Sequel downcases identifiers retrieved for most databases, so to turn that off:

Sequel.identifier_output_method = nil

to upcase instead:

Sequel.identifier_output_method = :upcase

Other String instance methods work as well.

157
158
 
# File 'lib/sequel/core.rb', line 156

def self.identifier_output_method=(value)
  Database.identifier_output_method = value
end

.inflections {|Inflections| ... } ⇒ Object

Yield the Inflections module if a block is given, and return the Inflections module.

Yields:

5
6
7
 
# File 'lib/sequel/model/inflections.rb', line 4

def self.inflections
  yield Inflections if block_given?
  Inflections
end

.json_parser_error_class ⇒ Object

The exception classed raised if there is an error parsing JSON. This can be overridden to use an alternative json implementation.



162
163
164
 
# File 'lib/sequel/core.rb', line 162

def self.json_parser_error_class
  JSON::ParserError
end

.migration(&block) ⇒ Object

The preferred method for writing Sequel migrations, using a DSL:

Sequel.migration do
  up do
    create_table(:artists) do
      primary_key :id
      String :name
    end
  end

  down do
    drop_table(:artists)
  end
end

Designed to be used with the Migrator class, part of the migration extension.

281
282
 
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/migration.rb', line 280

def self.migration(&block)
  MigrationDSL.create(&block)
end

.Model(source) ⇒ Object

Lets you create a Model subclass with its dataset already set. source should be an instance of one of the following classes:

Database

Sets the database for this model to source. Generally only useful when subclassing directly from the returned class, where the name of the subclass sets the table name (which is combined with the Database in source to create the dataset to use)

Dataset

Sets the dataset for this model to source.

other

Sets the table name for this model to source. The class will use the default database for model classes in order to create the dataset.

The purpose of this method is to set the dataset/database automatically for a model class, if the table name doesn’t match the implicit name. This is neater than using set_dataset inside the class, doesn’t require a bogus query for the schema.

# Using a symbol
class Comment < Sequel::Model(:something)
  table_name # => :something
end

# Using a dataset
class Comment < Sequel::Model(DB1[:something])
  dataset # => DB1[:something]
end

# Using a database
class Comment < Sequel::Model(DB1)
  dataset # => DB1[:comments]
end

  end
end

.require(files, subdir = nil) ⇒ Object

Require all given files which should be in the same or a subdirectory of this file. If a subdir is given, assume all files are in that subdir. This is used to ensure that the files loaded are from the same version of Sequel as this file.

end

.single_threaded=(value) ⇒ Object

Set whether Sequel is being used in single threaded mode. By default, Sequel uses a thread-safe connection pool, which isn’t as fast as the single threaded connection pool, and also has some additional thread safety checks. If your program will only have one thread, and speed is a priority, you should set this to true:

Sequel.single_threaded = true

end

.split_symbol(sym) ⇒ Object

Splits the symbol into three parts. Each part will either be a string or nil.

For columns, these parts are the table, column, and alias. For tables, these parts are the schema, table, and alias.

end

.string_to_date(string) ⇒ Object

Converts the given string into a Date object.

Sequel.string_to_date('2010-09-10') # Date.civil(2010, 09, 10)

  end
end

.string_to_datetime(string) ⇒ Object

Converts the given string into a Time or DateTime object, depending on the value of Sequel.datetime_class.

Sequel.string_to_datetime('2010-09-10 10:20:30') # Time.local(2010, 09, 10, 10, 20, 30)

      datetime_class.parse(string)
    end
  rescue => e
    raise convert_exception_class(e, InvalidValue)
  end
end

.string_to_time(string) ⇒ Object

Converts the given string into a Sequel::SQLTime object.

v = Sequel.string_to_time('10:20:30') # Sequel::SQLTime.parse('10:20:30')
DB.literal(v) # => '10:20:30'

  end
end

.synchronize ⇒ Object

Yield directly to the block. You don’t need to synchronize access on MRI because the GVL makes certain methods atomic.

# File 'lib/sequel/core.rb', line 288

def self.synchronize(&block)
  @single_threaded ? yield : @data_mutex.synchronize(&block)
end

.transaction(dbs, opts = OPTS, &block) ⇒ Object

Uses a transaction on all given databases with the given options. This:

Sequel.transaction([DB1, DB2, DB3]){...}

is equivalent to:

DB1.transaction do
  DB2.transaction do
    DB3.transaction do
      ...
    end
  end
end

except that if Sequel::Rollback is raised by the block, the transaction is rolled back on all databases instead of just the last one.

Note that this method cannot guarantee that all databases will commit or rollback. For example, if DB3 commits but attempting to commit on DB2 fails (maybe because foreign key checks are deferred), there is no way to uncommit the changes on DB3. For that kind of support, you need to have two-phase commit/prepared transactions (which Sequel supports on some databases).

.virtual_row(&block) ⇒ Object

If the supplied block takes a single argument, yield an SQL::VirtualRow instance to the block argument. Otherwise, evaluate the block in the context of a SQL::VirtualRow instance.

Sequel.virtual_row{a} # Sequel::SQL::Identifier.new(:a)
Sequel.virtual_row{|o| o.a{}} # Sequel::SQL::Function.new(:a)
