Method: Sequel::SQL::Builders#lit

Defined in:
lib/sequel/sql.rb

#lit(s, *args) ⇒ Object

Converts a string into a Sequel::LiteralString, in order to override string literalization, e.g.:

DB[:items].where(abc: 'def').sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (abc = 'def')"

DB[:items].where(abc: Sequel.lit('def')).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (abc = def)"

You can also provide arguments, to create a Sequel::SQL::PlaceholderLiteralString:

DB[:items].select{|o| o.count(Sequel.lit('DISTINCT ?', :a))}.sql #=>
  "SELECT count(DISTINCT a) FROM items"
