Overview

Schema::CreateTableGenerator is an internal class that the user is not expected to instantiate directly. Instances are created by Database#create_table. It is used to specify table creation parameters. It takes a Database object and a block of column/index/constraint specifications, and gives the Database a table description, which the database uses to create a table.

Schema::CreateTableGenerator has some methods but also includes method_missing, allowing users to specify column type as a method instead of using the column method, which makes for a nicer DSL.

For more information on Sequel’s support for schema modification, see the “Schema Modification” guide.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(type, name = nil, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a column with the given type, name, and opts to the DDL. See column for available options.

Class Method Details

.add_type_method(*types) ⇒ Object

Add a method for each of the given types that creates a column with that type as a constant. Types given should either already be constants/classes or a capitalized string/symbol with the same name as a constant/class.

  types.each do |type|
    class_eval("def #{type}(name, opts={}); column(name, #{type}, opts); end", __FILE__, __LINE__)
  end
end

Instance Method Details

#check(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Add an unnamed constraint to the DDL, specified by the given block or args:

check(:num=>1..5) # CHECK num >= 1 AND num <= 5
check{num > 5} # CHECK num > 5



58
59

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 58

def check(*args, &block)
  constraint(nil, *args, &block)
end

#column(name, type, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a column with the given name, type, and opts to the DDL.

column :num, :integer
# num INTEGER

column :name, String, :null=>false, :default=>'a'
# name varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'a'

inet :ip
# ip inet

You can also create columns via method missing, so the following are equivalent:

column :number, :integer
integer :number

The following options are supported:

:default

The default value for the column.

:deferrable

This ensure Referential Integrity will work even if reference table will use for its foreign key a value that does not exists(yet) on referenced table. Basically it adds DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED on key creation.

:index

Create an index on this column. If given a hash, use the hash as the options for the index.

:key

For foreign key columns, the column in the associated table that this column references. Unnecessary if this column references the primary key of the associated table, except if you are using MySQL.

:null

Mark the column as allowing NULL values (if true), or not allowing NULL values (if false). If unspecified, will default to whatever the database default is.

:on_delete

Specify the behavior of this column when being deleted (:restrict, :cascade, :set_null, :set_default, :no_action).

:on_update

Specify the behavior of this column when being updated (:restrict, :cascade, :set_null, :set_default, :no_action).

:primary_key

Make the column as a single primary key column. This should only be used if you have a single, nonautoincrementing primary key column.

:type

Overrides the type given as the argument. Generally not used by column itself, but can be passed as an option to other methods that call column.

:unique

Mark the column as unique, generally has the same effect as creating a unique index on the column.

def column(name, type, opts = {})
  columns << {:name => name, :type => type}.merge(opts)
  if index_opts = opts[:index]
    index(name, index_opts.is_a?(Hash) ? index_opts : {})
  end
end

#constraint(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Adds a named constraint (or unnamed if name is nil) to the DDL, with the given block or args.

constraint(:blah, :num=>1..5) # CONSTRAINT blah CHECK num >= 1 AND num <= 5
check(:foo){num > 5} # CONSTRAINT foo CHECK num > 5

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 117

def constraint(name, *args, &block)
  constraints << {:name => name, :type => :check, :check => block || args}
end

#foreign_key(name, table = nil, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a foreign key in the table that references another table to the DDL. See column for available options.

foreign_key(:artist_id) # artist_id INTEGER
foreign_key(:artist_id, :artists) # artist_id INTEGER REFERENCES artists
foreign_key(:artist_id, :artists, :key=>:id) # artist_id INTEGER REFERENCES artists(id)
foreign_key(:artist_id, :artists, :type=>String) # artist_id varchar(255) REFERENCES artists(id)

If you want a foreign key constraint without adding a column (usually because it is a composite foreign key), you can provide an array of columns as the first argument, and you can provide the :name option to name the constraint:

foreign_key([:artist_name, :artist_location], :artists, :name=>:artist_fk)
# ADD CONSTRAINT artist_fk FOREIGN KEY (artist_name, artist_location) REFERENCES artists

  end
  return composite_foreign_key(name, opts) if name.is_a?(Array)
  column(name, Integer, opts)
end

#full_text_index(columns, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a full text index on the given columns to the DDL.

PostgreSQL specific options:

:language

Set a language to use for the index (default: simple).

Microsoft SQL Server specific options:

:key_index

The KEY INDEX to use for the full text index.

def full_text_index(columns, opts = {})
  index(columns, opts.merge(:type => :full_text))
end

#has_column?(name) ⇒ Boolean

True if the DDL includes the creation of a column with the given name.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 162

def has_column?(name)
  columns.any?{|c| c[:name] == name}
end

#index(columns, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add an index on the given column(s) with the given options to the DDL. General options:

:name

The name to use for the index. If not given, a default name based on the table and columns is used.

:type

The type of index to use (only supported by some databases)

:unique

Make the index unique, so duplicate values are not allowed.

:where

Create a partial index (only supported by some databases)

PostgreSQL specific options:

:concurrently

Create the index concurrently, so it doesn’t block operations on the table while the index is being built.

:op_class

Use a specific operator class in the index.

Microsoft SQL Server specific options:

:include

Include additional column values in the index, without actually indexing on those values.

index :name
# CREATE INDEX table_name_index ON table (name)

index [:artist_id, :name]
# CREATE INDEX table_artist_id_name_index ON table (artist_id, name)

def index(columns, opts = {})
  indexes << {:columns => Array(columns)}.merge(opts)
end

#primary_key(name, *args) ⇒ Object

Adds an autoincrementing primary key column or a primary key constraint to the DDL. To create a constraint, the first argument should be an array of column symbols specifying the primary key columns. To create an autoincrementing primary key column, a single symbol can be used. In both cases, an options hash can be used as the second argument.

If you want to create a primary key column that is not autoincrementing, you should not use this method. Instead, you should use the regular column method with a :primary_key=>true option.

Examples:

primary_key(:id)
primary_key([:street_number, :house_number])
