end

.named_function(name, expression, function_alias = nil) ⇒ Arel::Nodes::Node

Construct an Arel representation of a SQL function.

Parameters:

  • name (String)
  • expression (String, Arel::Nodes::Node)
  • function_alias (String) (defaults to: nil)

Returns:

  • (Arel::Nodes::Node)

def named_function(name, expression, function_alias = nil)
  Arel::Nodes::NamedFunction.new(name, expression, function_alias)
end

.sql_literal(value) ⇒ Arel::Nodes::Node

Construct a SQL literal. This is useful for sql that is too complex for Arel.

Parameters:

  • value (String)

Returns:

  • (Arel::Nodes::Node)

end

.sql_quoted(value) ⇒ Arel::Nodes::Node

Construct a SQL quoted string. This is used for fragments of SQL.

Parameters:

  • value (String)

Returns:

  • (Arel::Nodes::Node)

.string_concat(*args) ⇒ Arel::Nodes::Node

Concatenate one or more strings

Parameters:

  • args (Array<String>) —

    strings to concatenate

Returns:
