Method: Sequel::Dataset#insert_sql

Defined in:
lib/sequel/dataset/sql.rb

#insert_sql(*values) ⇒ Object

Formats an INSERT statement using the given values. The API is a little complex, and best explained by example:

# Default values
DB[:items].insert_sql #=> 'INSERT INTO items DEFAULT VALUES'
DB[:items].insert_sql({}) #=> 'INSERT INTO items DEFAULT VALUES'
# Values without columns
DB[:items].insert_sql(1,2,3) #=> 'INSERT INTO items VALUES (1, 2, 3)'
DB[:items].insert_sql([1,2,3]) #=> 'INSERT INTO items VALUES (1, 2, 3)'
# Values with columns
DB[:items].insert_sql([:a, :b], [1,2]) #=> 'INSERT INTO items (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)'
DB[:items].insert_sql(:a => 1, :b => 2) #=> 'INSERT INTO items (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)'
# Using a subselect
DB[:items].insert_sql(DB[:old_items]) #=> 'INSERT INTO items SELECT * FROM old_items
# Using a subselect with columns
DB[:items].insert_sql([:a, :b], DB[:old_items]) #=> 'INSERT INTO items (a, b) SELECT * FROM old_items
