Overview

A dataset represents an SQL query. Datasets can be used to select, insert, 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].where(author: 'david') # no records are retrieved
my_posts.all # records are retrieved
my_posts.all # records are retrieved again

Datasets are frozen and use a functional style where modification methods return modified copies of the the dataset. This allows you to reuse datasets:

posts = DB[:posts]
davids_posts = posts.where(author: 'david')
old_posts = posts.where{stamp < Date.today - 7}
davids_old_posts = davids_posts.where{stamp < Date.today - 7}

Datasets are Enumerable objects, so they can be manipulated using many of the Enumerable methods, such as map and inject. Note that there are some methods that Dataset defines that override methods defined in Enumerable and result in different behavior, such as select and group_by.

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

Constructor Details

#initialize(db) ⇒ 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.

#[](*conditions) ⇒ Object

Returns the first record matching the conditions. Examples:

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

Raises:

  first(*conditions)
end

#add_graph_aliases(graph_aliases) ⇒ Object

Adds the given graph aliases to the list of graph aliases to use, unlike set_graph_aliases, which replaces the list (the equivalent of select_append when graphing). See set_graph_aliases.

DB[:table].add_graph_aliases(some_alias: [:table, :column])

  as_sql_append(sql, ae.alias, ae.columns)
end

#all(&block) ⇒ Object

Returns an array with all records in the dataset. If a block is given, the array is iterated over after all items have been loaded.

DB[:table].all # SELECT * FROM table
# => [{:id=>1, ...}, {:id=>2, ...}, ...]

# Iterate over all rows in the table
DB[:table].all{|row| p row}

    sql << '('
    expression_list_append(sql, a)
    sql << ')'
  end
end

#as_hash(key_column, value_column = nil, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Returns a hash with one column used as key and another used as value. If rows have duplicate values for the key column, the latter row(s) will overwrite the value of the previous row(s). If the value_column is not given or nil, uses the entire hash as the value.

DB[:table].as_hash(:id, :name) # SELECT * FROM table
# {1=>'Jim', 2=>'Bob', ...}

DB[:table].as_hash(:id) # SELECT * FROM table
# {1=>{:id=>1, :name=>'Jim'}, 2=>{:id=>2, :name=>'Bob'}, ...}

You can also provide an array of column names for either the key_column, the value column, or both:

DB[:table].as_hash([:id, :foo], [:name, :bar]) # SELECT * FROM table
# {[1, 3]=>['Jim', 'bo'], [2, 4]=>['Bob', 'be'], ...}

DB[:table].as_hash([:id, :name]) # SELECT * FROM table
# {[1, 'Jim']=>{:id=>1, :name=>'Jim'}, [2, 'Bob']=>{:id=>2, :name=>'Bob'}, ...}

Options:

:all

Use all instead of each to retrieve the objects

:hash

The object into which the values will be placed. If this is not given, an empty hash is used. This can be used to use a hash with a default value or default proc.

#delete(&block) ⇒ Object

Deletes the records in the dataset, returning the number of records deleted.

DB[:table].delete # DELETE * FROM table
# => 3

Some databases support using multiple tables in a DELETE query. This requires multiple FROM tables (JOINs can also be used). As multiple FROM tables use an implicit CROSS JOIN, you should make sure your WHERE condition uses the appropriate filters for the FROM tables:

DB.from(:a, :b).join(:c, :d=>Sequel[:b][:e]).where{{a[:f]=>b[:g], a[:id]=>c[:h]}}.
  delete
# DELETE FROM a
# USING b
# INNER JOIN c ON (c.d = b.e)
# WHERE ((a.f = b.g) AND (a.id = c.h))

    execute_dui(sql)
  end
end

#distinct(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns a copy of the dataset with the SQL DISTINCT clause. The DISTINCT clause is used to remove duplicate rows from the output. If arguments are provided, uses a DISTINCT ON clause, in which case it will only be distinct on those columns, instead of all returned columns. If a block is given, it is treated as a virtual row block, similar to where. Raises an error if arguments are given and DISTINCT ON is not supported.

DB[:items].distinct # SQL: SELECT DISTINCT * FROM items
DB[:items].order(:id).distinct(:id) # SQL: SELECT DISTINCT ON (id) * FROM items ORDER BY id
DB[:items].order(:id).distinct{func(:id)} # SQL: SELECT DISTINCT ON (func(id)) * FROM items ORDER BY id

There is support for emulating the DISTINCT ON support in MySQL, but it does not support the ORDER of the dataset, and also doesn’t work in many cases if the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY sql_mode is used, which is the default on MySQL 5.7.5+.

end

#eachObject

Iterates over the records in the dataset as they are yielded from the database adapter, and returns self.

DB[:table].each{|row| p row} # SELECT * FROM table

Note that this method is not safe to use on many adapters if you are running additional queries inside the provided block. If you are running queries inside the block, you should use all instead of each for the outer queries, or use a separate thread or shard inside each.

#each_serverObject

Yield a dataset for each server in the connection pool that is tied to that server. Intended for use in sharded environments where all servers need to be modified with the same data:

  self == o
end

#escape_like(string) ⇒ Object

Returns the string with the LIKE metacharacters (% and _) escaped. Useful for when the LIKE term is a user-provided string where metacharacters should not be recognized. Example:

ds.escape_like("foo\\%_") # 'foo\\\%\_'


68

# File 'lib/sequel/dataset/misc.rb', line 68

def escape_like(string)
  string.gsub(/[\\%_]/){|m| "\\#{m}"}
end

#except(dataset, opts = 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].except(DB[:other_items])
# SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM items EXCEPT SELECT * FROM other_items) AS t1

DB[:items].except(DB[:other_items], all: true, from_self: false)
# SELECT * FROM items EXCEPT ALL SELECT * FROM other_items

DB[:items].except(DB[:other_items], alias: :i)
# SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM items EXCEPT SELECT * FROM other_items) AS i

Raises:

  • (InvalidOperation)

# File 'lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb', line 156

def except(dataset, opts=OPTS)

  raise(InvalidOperation, "EXCEPT ALL not supported") if opts[:all] && !supports_intersect_except_all?
  compound_clone(:except, dataset, opts)
end

#exclude(*cond, &block) ⇒ Object

Performs the inverse of Dataset#where. Note that if you have multiple filter conditions, this is not the same as a negation of all conditions.

DB[:items].exclude(category: 'software')
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (category != 'software')

DB[:items].exclude(category: 'software', id: 3)
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((category != 'software') OR (id != 3))

Also note that SQL uses 3-valued boolean logic (true, false, NULL), so the inverse of a true condition is a false condition, and will still not match rows that were NULL originally. If you take the earlier example:

DB[:items].exclude(category: 'software')
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (category != 'software')

Note that this does not match rows where category is NULL. This is because NULL is an unknown value, and you do not know whether or not the NULL category is software. You can explicitly specify how to handle NULL values if you want:

DB[:items].exclude(Sequel.~(category: nil) & {category: 'software'})
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((category IS NULL) OR (category != 'software'))


186
187
188
# File 'lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb', line 186

def exclude(*cond, &block)
  add_filter(:where, cond, true, &block)
end

#exclude_having(*cond, &block) ⇒ Object

Inverts the given conditions and adds them to the HAVING clause.

DB[:items].select_group(:name).exclude_having{count(name) < 2}
# SELECT name FROM items GROUP BY name HAVING (count(name) >= 2)

See documentation for exclude for how inversion is handled in regards to SQL 3-valued boolean logic.

# File 'lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb', line 197

def exclude_having(*cond, &block)
  add_filter(:having, cond, true, &block)

DB.select(1).where(DB[:items].exists)
# SELECT 1 WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT * FROM items))

def filter(*cond, &block)
  where(*cond, &block)

#first(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

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

If there are no records in the dataset, returns nil (or an empty array if an integer argument is given).

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(Sequel.lit("id = 3")) # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 3) LIMIT 1
# => {:id=>3}

DB[:table].first(Sequel.lit("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(Sequel.lit("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

#get(column = (no_arg=true; nil), &block) ⇒ Object

Return the column value for the first matching record in the dataset. Raises an error if both an argument and block is given.

DB[:table].get(:id) # SELECT id FROM table LIMIT 1
# => 3

ds.get{sum(id)} # SELECT sum(id) AS v FROM table LIMIT 1
# => 6

You can pass an array of arguments to return multiple arguments, but you must make sure each element in the array has an alias that Sequel can determine:

DB[:table].get([:id, :name]) # SELECT id, name FROM table LIMIT 1
# => [3, 'foo']

DB[:table].get{[sum(id).as(sum), name]} # SELECT sum(id) AS sum, name FROM table LIMIT 1

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

Similar to Dataset#join_table, but uses unambiguous aliases for selected columns and keeps metadata about the aliases for use in other methods.

Arguments:

dataset

Can be a symbol (specifying a table), another dataset, or an SQL::Identifier, SQL::QualifiedIdentifier, or SQL::AliasedExpression.

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_only

Only join the tables, do not change the selected columns.

: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 alias (or table) name is used more than once.

#grep(columns, patterns, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Match any of the columns to any of the patterns. The terms can be strings (which use LIKE) or regular expressions if the database supports that. 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%' ESCAPE '\')

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

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

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

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

Returns a dataset grouped by the given column with count by group. Column aliases may be supplied, and will be included in the select clause. If a block is given, it is treated as a virtual row block, similar to where.

Examples:

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

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

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

DB[:items].group_and_count{substr(:first_name, 1, 1).as(:initial)}.all
# SELECT substr(first_name, 1, 1) AS initial, count(*) AS count FROM items GROUP BY substr(first_name, 1, 1)

#group_append(*columns, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns a copy of the dataset with the given columns added to the list of existing columns to group on. If no existing columns are present this method simply sets the columns as the initial ones to group on.

DB[:items].group_append(:b) # SELECT * FROM items GROUP BY b
DB[:items].group(:a).group_append(:b) # SELECT * FROM items GROUP BY a, b

#import(columns, values, opts = 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 if necessary.

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)

or, if the database supports it:

# INSERT INTO table (x, y) VALUES (1, 2), (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. When a transaction is not required, this option controls the maximum number of values to insert with a single statement; it does not force the use of a transaction.

:return

When this is set to :primary_key, returns an array of autoincremented primary key values for the rows inserted. This does not have an effect if values is a Dataset.

:server

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

:skip_transaction

Do not use a transaction even when using multiple 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 autoincremented primary key for the inserted row, assuming that a single row is inserted and the table has an autoincrementing primary key.

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 and 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

#intersect(dataset, opts = 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

DB[:items].intersect(DB[:other_items], all: true, from_self: false)
# SELECT * FROM items INTERSECT ALL SELECT * FROM other_items

#invertObject

Inverts the current WHERE and HAVING clauses. If there is neither a WHERE or HAVING clause, adds a WHERE clause that is always false.

DB[:items].where(category: 'software').invert
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (category != 'software')

DB[:items].where(category: 'software', id: 3).invert
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((category != 'software') OR (id != 3))

#join_table(type, table, expr = nil, options = OPTS, &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

table to join into the current dataset. Generally one of the following types:

String, Symbol

identifier used as table or view name

Dataset

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

SQL::Function

set returning function

SQL::AliasedExpression

already aliased expression. Uses given alias unless overridden by the :table_alias option.

expr

conditions used when joining, depends on type:

Hash, Array of pairs

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.

otherwise

Treats the argument as a filter expression, 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 the following keys supported:

:table_alias

Override the table alias used when joining. In general you shouldn’t use this option, you should provide the appropriate SQL::AliasedExpression as the table argument.

:implicit_qualifier

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

:join_using

Force the using of JOIN USING, even if expr is not an array of symbols.

:reset_implicit_qualifier

Can set to false to ignore this join when future joins determine qualifier for implicit conditions.

: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. Can be set to :symbol to only qualify symbols. Defaults to the value of default_join_table_qualification.

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 where, 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, Sequel[:b].as(: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)))

#lock_style(style) ⇒ Object

Returns a cloned dataset with the given lock style. If style is a string, it will be used directly. You should never pass a string to this method that is derived from user input, as that can lead to SQL injection.

A symbol may be used for database independent locking behavior, but all supported symbols have separate methods (e.g. for_update).

DB[:items].lock_style('FOR SHARE NOWAIT')
# SELECT * FROM items FOR SHARE NOWAIT
DB[:items].lock_style('FOR UPDATE OF table1 SKIP LOCKED')
# SELECT * FROM items FOR UPDATE OF table1 SKIP LOCKED

end

#map(column = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Maps column values for each record in the dataset (if an argument is given) or performs the stock mapping functionality of Enumerable otherwise. Raises an Error if both an argument and block are given.

DB[:table].map(:id) # SELECT * FROM table
# => [1, 2, 3, ...]

DB[:table].map{|r| r[:id] * 2} # SELECT * FROM table
# => [2, 4, 6, ...]

You can also provide an array of column names:

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

# => 10
DB[:table].max{function(column)} # SELECT max(function(column)) FROM table LIMIT 1

#mergeObject

Execute a MERGE statement, which allows for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE behavior in a single query, based on whether rows from a source table match rows in the current table, based on the join conditions.

Unless the dataset uses static SQL, to use #merge, you must first have called #merge_using to specify the merge source and join conditions. You will then likely to call one or more of the following methods to specify MERGE behavior by adding WHEN [NOT] MATCHED clauses:

  • #merge_insert

  • #merge_update

  • #merge_delete

The WHEN [NOT] MATCHED clauses are added to the SQL in the order these methods were called on the dataset. If none of these methods are called, an error is raised.

Example:

DB[:m1]
  merge_using(:m2, i1: :i2).
  merge_insert(i1: :i2, a: Sequel[:b]+11).
  merge_delete{a > 30}.
  merge_update(i1: Sequel[:i1]+:i2+10, a: Sequel[:a]+:b+20).
  merge

SQL:

MERGE INTO m1 USING m2 ON (i1 = i2)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (i1, a) VALUES (i2, (b + 11))
WHEN MATCHED AND (a > 30) THEN DELETE
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET i1 = (i1 + i2 + 10), a = (a + b + 20)

On PostgreSQL, two additional merge methods are supported, for the PostgreSQL-specific DO NOTHING syntax.

  • #merge_do_nothing_when_matched

  • #merge_do_nothing_when_not_matched

This method is supported on Oracle, but Oracle’s MERGE support is non-standard, and has the following issues:

  • DELETE clause requires UPDATE clause

  • DELETE clause requires a condition

  • DELETE clause only affects rows updated by UPDATE clause

The arguments provided can be any arguments that would be accepted by #insert.

merge_insert(i1: :i2, a: Sequel[:b]+11)
# WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (i1, a) VALUES (i2, (b + 11))

#multi_insert(hashes, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

This is a front end for import that allows you to submit an array of hashes instead of arrays of columns and values:

DB[:table].multi_insert([{x: 1}, {x: 2}])
# INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (1)
# INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (2)

Be aware that all hashes should have the same keys if you use this calling method, otherwise some columns could be missed or set to null instead of to default values.

This respects the same options as #import.

#or(*cond, &block) ⇒ Object

Adds an alternate filter to an existing WHERE clause using OR. If there is no WHERE clause, then the default is WHERE true, and OR would be redundant, so return the dataset in that case.

#order(*columns, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns a copy of the dataset with the order changed. If the dataset has an existing order, it is ignored and overwritten with this order. If a nil is given the returned dataset has no order. This can accept multiple arguments of varying kinds, such as SQL functions. If a block is given, it is treated as a virtual row block, similar to where.

DB[:items].order(:name) # SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY name
DB[:items].order(:a, :b) # SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY a, b
DB[:items].order(Sequel.lit('a + b')) # SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY a + b

#paged_each(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Yields each row in the dataset, but internally uses multiple queries as needed to process the entire result set without keeping all rows in the dataset in memory, even if the underlying driver buffers all query results in memory.

Because this uses multiple queries internally, in order to remain consistent, it also uses a transaction internally. Additionally, to work correctly, the dataset must have unambiguous order. Using an ambiguous order can result in an infinite loop, as well as subtler bugs such as yielding duplicate rows or rows being skipped.

Sequel checks that the datasets using this method have an order, but it cannot ensure that the order is unambiguous.

Note that this method is not safe to use on many adapters if you are running additional queries inside the provided block. If you are running queries inside the block, use a separate thread or shard inside paged_each.

Options:

:rows_per_fetch

The number of rows to fetch per query. Defaults to 1000.

:strategy

The strategy to use for paging of results. By default this is :offset, for using an approach with a limit and offset for every page. This can be set to :filter, which uses a limit and a filter that excludes rows from previous pages. In order for this strategy to work, you must be selecting the columns you are ordering by, and none of the columns can contain NULLs. Note that some Sequel adapters have optimized implementations that will use cursors or streaming regardless of the :strategy option used.

:filter_values

If the strategy: :filter option is used, this option should be a proc that accepts the last retrieved row for the previous page and an array of ORDER BY expressions, and returns an array of values relating to those expressions for the last retrieved row. You will need to use this option if your ORDER BY expressions are not simple columns, if they contain qualified identifiers that would be ambiguous unqualified, if they contain any identifiers that are aliased in SELECT, and potentially other cases.

:skip_transaction

Do not use a transaction. This can be useful if you want to prevent a lock on the database table, at the expense of consistency.

Examples:

DB[:table].order(:id).paged_each{|row| }
# SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000
# SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000 OFFSET 1000
# ...

DB[:table].order(:id).paged_each(rows_per_fetch: 100){|row| }
# SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 100
# SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 100 OFFSET 100
# ...

DB[:table].order(:id).paged_each(strategy: :filter){|row| }
# SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000
# SELECT * FROM table WHERE id > 1001 ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000
# ...

DB[:table].order(:id).paged_each(strategy: :filter,
  filter_values: lambda{|row, exprs| [row[:id]]}){|row| }
# SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000
# SELECT * FROM table WHERE id > 1001 ORDER BY id LIMIT 1000
# ...

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

Prepare an SQL statement for later execution. Takes a type similar to #call, and the name symbol of the prepared statement.

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].where(name: :$name).prepare(:first, :select_by_name)

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

Returns a hash with key_column values as keys and value_column values as values. Similar to as_hash, but only selects the columns given. Like as_hash, it accepts an optional :hash parameter, into which entries will be merged.

DB[:table].select_hash(:id, :name)
# SELECT id, name FROM table
# => {1=>'a', 2=>'b', ...}

You can also provide an array of column names for either the key_column, the value column, or both:

Returns a hash with key_column values as keys and an array of value_column values. Similar to to_hash_groups, but only selects the columns given. Like to_hash_groups, it accepts an optional :hash parameter, into which entries will be merged.

DB[:table].select_hash_groups(:name, :id)
# SELECT id, name FROM table

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:

#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

#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],

#single_recordObject

Limits the dataset to one record, and returns the first record in the dataset, or nil if the dataset has no records. Users should probably use first instead of this method. Example:

#single_record!Object

Returns the first record in dataset, without limiting the dataset. Returns nil if the dataset has no records. Users should probably use first instead of this method. This should only be used if you know the dataset is already limited to a single record. This method may be desirable to use for performance reasons, as it does not clone the receiver. Example:

DB[:test].single_record! # SELECT * FROM test
# => {:column_name=>'value'}

#update(values = OPTS, &block) ⇒ Object

Updates values for the dataset. The returned value is the number of rows updated. values should be 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: Sequel[:x]+1, y: 0) # UPDATE table SET x = (x + 1), y = 0
# => 10

Some databases support using multiple tables in an UPDATE query. This requires multiple FROM tables (JOINs can also be used). As multiple FROM tables use an implicit CROSS JOIN, you should make sure your WHERE condition uses the appropriate filters for the FROM tables:

DB.from(:a, :b).join(:c, :d=>Sequel[:b][:e]).where{{a[:f]=>b[:g], a[:id]=>10}}.
  update(:f=>Sequel[:c][:h])
# UPDATE a
# SET f = c.h
# FROM b
# INNER JOIN c ON (c.d = b.e)
# WHERE ((a.f = b.g) AND (a.id = 10))

Formats an UPDATE statement using the given values. See update.

DB[:items].update_sql(price: 100, category: 'software')
# => "UPDATE items SET price = 100, category = 'software'

Raises an Error if the dataset is grouped or includes more than one table.

#where(*cond, &block) ⇒ Object

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

Accepts the following argument types:

Hash, Array of pairs

list of equality/inclusion expressions

Symbol

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

Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression, Sequel::LiteralString

an existing condition expression, probably created using the Sequel expression filter DSL.

where also accepts 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].where(id: 3)
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (id = 3)

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

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

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

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

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

Multiple where calls can be chained for scoping:

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

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

Return a clone of the dataset with an addition named window that can be referenced in window functions. See Sequel::SQL::Window for a list of options that can be passed in. Example:

DB[:items].window(:w, partition: :c1, order: :c2)
# SELECT * FROM items WINDOW w AS (PARTITION BY c1 ORDER BY c2)

:recursive

Specify that this is a recursive CTE

:materialized

Set to false to force inlining of the CTE, or true to force not inlining the CTE (PostgreSQL 12+/SQLite 3.35+).

#with_recursive(name, nonrecursive, recursive, opts = 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.

PostgreSQL 14+ Options:

:cycle

Stop recursive searching when a cycle is detected. Includes two columns in the result of the CTE, a cycle column indicating whether a cycle was detected for the current row, and a path column for the path traversed to get to the current row. If given, must be a hash with the following keys:

:columns

(required) The column or array of columns to use to detect a cycle. If the value of these columns match columns already traversed, then a cycle is detected, and recursive searching will not traverse beyond the cycle (the CTE will include the row where the cycle was detected).

:cycle_column

The name of the cycle column in the output, defaults to :is_cycle.

:cycle_value

The value of the cycle column in the output if the current row was detected as a cycle, defaults to true.

:noncycle_value

The value of the cycle column in the output if the current row was not detected as a cycle, defaults to false. Only respected if :cycle_value is given.

:path_column

The name of the path column in the output, defaults to :path.

:search

Include an order column in the result of the CTE that allows for breadth or depth first searching. If given, must be a hash with the following keys:

:by

(required) The column or array of columns to search by.

:order_column

The name of the order column in the output, defaults to :ordercol.

:type

Set to :breadth to use breadth-first searching (depth-first searching is the default).

#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)

Note that datasets that specify custom SQL using this method will generally ignore future dataset methods that modify the SQL used, as specifying custom SQL overrides Sequel’s SQL generator. You should probably limit yourself to the following dataset methods when using this method, or use the implicit_subquery extension:

  • each

  • all

  • single_record (if only one record could be returned)

  • single_value (if only one record could be returned, and a single column is selected)

  • map

  • as_hash

  • to_hash

  • to_hash_groups

  • delete (if a DELETE statement)

  • update (if an UPDATE statement, with no arguments)

  • insert (if an INSERT statement, with no arguments)

  • truncate (if a TRUNCATE statement, with no arguments)
