Overview

These methods make it easier to create Sequel expressions without using the core extensions.

Instance Method Details

#as(exp, aliaz, columns = nil) ⇒ Object

Create an SQL::AliasedExpression for the given expression and alias.

Sequel.as(:column, :alias) # "column" AS "alias"
Sequel.as(:column, :alias, [:col_alias1, :col_alias2]) # "column" AS "alias"("col_alias1", "col_alias2")

331
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 329

def as(exp, aliaz, columns=nil)
  SQL::AliasedExpression.new(exp, aliaz, columns)
end

#asc(arg, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Order the given argument ascending. Options:

:nulls

Set to :first to use NULLS FIRST (so NULL values are ordered before other values), or :last to use NULLS LAST (so NULL values are ordered after other values).

Sequel.asc(:a) # a ASC
Sequel.asc(:b, nulls: :last) # b ASC NULLS LAST


342
343
344
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 342

def asc(arg, opts=OPTS)
  SQL::OrderedExpression.new(arg, false, opts)
end

#blob(s) ⇒ Object

Return an SQL::Blob that holds the same data as this string. Blobs provide proper escaping of binary data. If given a blob, returns it directly.

def blob(s)
  if s.is_a?(SQL::Blob)
    s
  else
    SQL::Blob.new(s)
  end
end

#case(*args) ⇒ Object

Return an SQL::CaseExpression created with the given arguments. The first argument are the WHEN/THEN conditions, specified as an array or a hash. The second argument is the ELSE default value. The third optional argument is the CASE expression.

Sequel.case({a: 1}, 0) # SQL: CASE WHEN a THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
Sequel.case({a: 1}, 0, :b) # SQL: CASE b WHEN a THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
Sequel.case({{a: [2,3]} => 1}, 0) # SQL: CASE WHEN a IN (2, 3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
Sequel.case([[{a: [2,3]}, 1]], 0) # SQL: CASE WHEN a IN (2, 3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END


367
368
369
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 367

def case(*args)
  SQL::CaseExpression.new(*args)
end

#cast(arg, sql_type) ⇒ Object

Cast the reciever to the given SQL type. You can specify a ruby class as a type, and it is handled similarly to using a database independent type in the schema methods.

Sequel.cast(:a, :integer) # CAST(a AS integer)
Sequel.cast(:a, String) # CAST(a AS varchar(255))


376
377
378
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 376

def cast(arg, sql_type)
  SQL::Cast.new(arg, sql_type)
end

#cast_numeric(arg, sql_type = nil) ⇒ Object

Cast the reciever to the given SQL type (or the database’s default Integer type if none given), and return the result as a NumericExpression, so you can use the bitwise operators on the result.

Sequel.cast_numeric(:a) # CAST(a AS integer)
Sequel.cast_numeric(:a, Float) # CAST(a AS double precision)


386
387
388
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 386

def cast_numeric(arg, sql_type = nil)
  cast(arg, sql_type || Integer).sql_number
end

#cast_string(arg, sql_type = nil) ⇒ Object

Cast the reciever to the given SQL type (or the database’s default String type if none given), and return the result as a StringExpression, so you can use + directly on the result for SQL string concatenation.

Sequel.cast_string(:a) # CAST(a AS varchar(255))
Sequel.cast_string(:a, :text) # CAST(a AS text)


396
397
398
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 396

def cast_string(arg, sql_type = nil)
  cast(arg, sql_type || String).sql_string
end

#char_length(arg) ⇒ Object

Return an emulated function call for getting the number of characters in the argument:

Sequel.char_length(:a) # char_length(a) -- Most databases
Sequel.char_length(:a) # length(a) -- SQLite


405
406
407
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 405

def char_length(arg)
  SQL::Function.new!(:char_length, [arg], :emulate=>true)
end

#date_add(expr, interval, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Return a DateAdd expression, adding an interval to the date/timestamp expr. Options:

:cast

Cast to the specified type instead of the default if casting



48
49
50
# File 'lib/sequel/extensions/date_arithmetic.rb', line 48

def date_add(expr, interval, opts=OPTS)
  DateAdd.new(expr, interval, opts)
end

#date_sub(expr, interval, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Return a DateAdd expression, adding the negative of the interval to the date/timestamp expr. Options:

:cast

Cast to the specified type instead of the default if casting

  if defined?(ActiveSupport::Duration) && interval.is_a?(ActiveSupport::Duration)
    interval = interval.parts
  end
  parts = {}
  interval.each do |k,v|
    case v
    when nil
      # ignore
    when Numeric
      parts[k] = -v
    else
      parts[k] = Sequel::SQL::NumericExpression.new(:*, v, -1)
    end
  end
  DateAdd.new(expr, parts, opts)
end

#deep_qualify(qualifier, expr) ⇒ Object

Do a deep qualification of the argument using the qualifier. This recurses into nested structures.

Sequel.deep_qualify(:table, :column) # "table"."column"
Sequel.deep_qualify(:table, Sequel[:column] + 1) # "table"."column" + 1
Sequel.deep_qualify(:table, Sequel[:a].like('b')) # "table"."a" LIKE 'b' ESCAPE '\'


415
416
417
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 415

def deep_qualify(qualifier, expr)
  Sequel::Qualifier.new(qualifier).transform(expr)
end

#delay(&block) ⇒ Object

Return a delayed evaluation that uses the passed block. This is used to delay evaluations of the code to runtime. For example, with the following code:

ds = DB[:table].where{column > Time.now}

The filter is fixed to the time that where was called. Unless you are only using the dataset once immediately after creating it, that’s probably not desired. If you just want to set it to the time when the query is sent to the database, you can wrap it in Sequel.delay:

ds = DB[:table].where{column > Sequel.delay{Time.now}}

Note that for dates and timestamps, you are probably better off using Sequel::CURRENT_DATE and Sequel::CURRENT_TIMESTAMP instead of this generic delayed evaluation facility.

Raises:

438
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 435

def delay(&block)
  raise(Error, "Sequel.delay requires a block") unless block
  SQL::DelayedEvaluation.new(block)
end

#desc(arg, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Order the given argument descending. Options:

:nulls

Set to :first to use NULLS FIRST (so NULL values are ordered before other values), or :last to use NULLS LAST (so NULL values are ordered after other values).

Sequel.desc(:a) # b DESC
Sequel.desc(:b, nulls: :first) # b DESC NULLS FIRST


449
450
451
# File 'lib/sequel/sql.rb', line 449

def desc(arg, opts=OPTS)
  SQL::OrderedExpression.new(arg, true, opts)
end

#expr(arg = (no_arg=true), &block) ⇒ Object

Wraps the given object in an appropriate Sequel wrapper. If the given object is already a Sequel object, return it directly. For condition specifiers (hashes and arrays of two pairs), true, and false, return a boolean expressions. For numeric objects, return a numeric expression. For strings, return a string expression. For procs or when the method is passed a block, evaluate it as a virtual row and wrap it appropriately. In all other cases, use a generic wrapper.

This method allows you to construct SQL expressions that are difficult to construct via other methods. For example:

Sequel.expr(1) - :a # SQL: (1 - a)

On the Sequel module, this is aliased as #[], for easier use:

Sequel[1] - :a # SQL: (1 - a)

#subscript(exp, *subs) ⇒ Object

Return an SQL::Subscript with the given arguments, representing an SQL array access.

Sequel.subscript(:array, 1) # array[1]
Sequel.subscript(:array, 1, 2) # array[1, 2]
Sequel.subscript(:array, [1, 2]) # array[1, 2]

#trim(arg) ⇒ Object

Return an emulated function call for trimming a string of spaces from both sides (similar to ruby’s String#strip).

#value_list(arg) ⇒ Object

Return a SQL::ValueList created from the given array. Used if the array contains all two element arrays and you want it treated as an SQL value list (IN predicate) instead of as a conditions specifier (similar to a hash). This is not necessary if you are using this array as a value in a filter, but may be necessary if you are using it as a value with placeholder SQL:

DB[:a].where([:a, :b]=>[[1, 2], [3, 4]]) # SQL: (a, b) IN ((1, 2), (3, 4))
DB[:a].where('(a, b) IN ?', [[1, 2], [3, 4]]) # SQL: (a, b) IN ((1 = 2) AND (3 = 4))
DB[:a].where('(a, b) IN ?', Sequel.value_list([[1, 2], [3, 4]])) # SQL: (a, b) IN ((1, 2), (3, 4))

Raises:
