module Sequel::SQL::NumericMethods
This module includes the standard mathematical methods (+, -, *, and /)
that are defined on objects that can be used in a numeric context in SQL (Symbol
,
LiteralString
, and SQL::GenericExpression
).
:a + :b # "a" + "b" :a - :b # "a" - "b" :a * :b # "a" * "b" :a / :b # "a" / "b"
One exception to this is if + is called with a String
or
StringExpression
, in which case the || operator is used
instead of the + operator:
:a + 'b' # "a" || 'b'
Public Instance Methods
+(ce)

Use || as the operator when called with StringExpression and String instances, and the + operator for LiteralStrings and all other types.
