module Sequel::SQL::Builders
These methods are designed as replacements for the core extensions, so that Sequel is still easy to use if the core extensions are not enabled.
Public Instance Methods
Create an SQL::AliasedExpression for the given expression and alias.
Sequel.as(:column, :alias) # "column" AS "alias" Sequel.as(:column, :alias, [:col_alias1, :col_alias2]) # "column" AS "alias"("col_alias1", "col_alias2")
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 325 def as(exp, aliaz, columns=nil) SQL::AliasedExpression.new(exp, aliaz, columns) end
Order the given argument ascending. Options:
- :nulls
-
Set to :first to use NULLS FIRST (so NULL values are ordered before other values), or :last to use NULLS LAST (so NULL values are ordered after other values).
Sequel.asc(:a) # a ASC Sequel.asc(:b, :nulls=>:last) # b ASC NULLS LAST
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 338 def asc(arg, opts=OPTS) SQL::OrderedExpression.new(arg, false, opts) end
Return an SQL::Blob
that holds the same data as this string.
Blobs provide proper escaping of binary data. If given a blob, returns it
directly.
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 345 def blob(s) if s.is_a?(SQL::Blob) s else SQL::Blob.new(s) end end
Return an SQL::CaseExpression
created with the given
arguments.
Sequel.case([[{:a=>[2,3]}, 1]], 0) # SQL: CASE WHEN a IN (2, 3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END Sequel.case({:a=>1}, 0, :b) # SQL: CASE b WHEN a THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 357 def case(*args) # core_sql ignore SQL::CaseExpression.new(*args) end
Cast the reciever to the given SQL type. You can specify a ruby class as a type, and it is handled similarly to using a database independent type in the schema methods.
Sequel.cast(:a, :integer) # CAST(a AS integer) Sequel.cast(:a, String) # CAST(a AS varchar(255))
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 366 def cast(arg, sql_type) SQL::Cast.new(arg, sql_type) end
Cast the reciever to the given SQL type (or the database's default Integer type
if none given), and return the result as a NumericExpression
,
so you can use the bitwise operators on the result.
Sequel.cast_numeric(:a) # CAST(a AS integer) Sequel.cast_numeric(:a, Float) # CAST(a AS double precision)
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 376 def cast_numeric(arg, sql_type = nil) cast(arg, sql_type || Integer).sql_number end
Cast the reciever to the given SQL type (or the database's default String type if none given), and return the
result as a StringExpression
, so you can use + directly on the
result for SQL string concatenation.
Sequel.cast_string(:a) # CAST(a AS varchar(255)) Sequel.cast_string(:a, :text) # CAST(a AS text)
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 386 def cast_string(arg, sql_type = nil) cast(arg, sql_type || String).sql_string end
Return an emulated function call for getting the number of characters in the argument:
Sequel.char_length(:a) # char_length(a) -- Most databases Sequel.char_length(:a) # length(a) -- SQLite
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 395 def char_length(arg) SQL::Function.new!(:char_length, [arg], :emulate=>true) end
Return a DateAdd expression, adding an interval to the date/timestamp expr.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/date_arithmetic.rb, line 32 def date_add(expr, interval) DateAdd.new(expr, interval) end
Return a DateAdd expression, adding the negative of the interval to the date/timestamp expr.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/date_arithmetic.rb, line 38 def date_sub(expr, interval) interval = if interval.is_a?(Hash) h = {} interval.each{|k,v| h[k] = -v unless v.nil?} h else -interval end DateAdd.new(expr, interval) end
Do a deep qualification of the argument using the qualifier. This recurses into nested structures.
Sequel.deep_qualify(:table, :column) # "table"."column" Sequel.deep_qualify(:table, Sequel.+(:column, 1)) # "table"."column" + 1 Sequel.deep_qualify(:table, Sequel.like(:a, 'b')) # "table"."a" LIKE 'b' ESCAPE '\'
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 405 def deep_qualify(qualifier, expr) Sequel::Qualifier.new(Sequel, qualifier).transform(expr) end
Return a delayed evaluation that uses the passed block. This is used to delay evaluations of the code to runtime. For example, with the following code:
ds = DB[:table].where{column > Time.now}
The filter is fixed to the time that where was called. Unless you are only using the dataset once immediately after creating it, that's probably not desired. If you just want to set it to the time when the query is sent to the database, you can wrap it in Sequel.delay:
ds = DB[:table].where{column > Sequel.delay{Time.now}}
Note that for dates and timestamps, you are probably better off using Sequel::CURRENT_DATE and Sequel::CURRENT_TIMESTAMP instead of this generic delayed evaluation facility.
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 425 def delay(&block) raise(Error, "Sequel.delay requires a block") unless block SQL::DelayedEvaluation.new(block) end
Order the given argument descending. Options:
- :nulls
-
Set to :first to use NULLS FIRST (so NULL values are ordered before other values), or :last to use NULLS LAST (so NULL values are ordered after other values).
Sequel.desc(:a) # b DESC Sequel.desc(:b, :nulls=>:first) # b DESC NULLS FIRST
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 439 def desc(arg, opts=OPTS) SQL::OrderedExpression.new(arg, true, opts) end
Wraps the given object in an appropriate Sequel wrapper. If the given object is already a Sequel object, return it directly. For condition specifiers (hashes and arrays of two pairs), true, and false, return a boolean expressions. For numeric objects, return a numeric expression. For strings, return a string expression. For procs or when the method is passed a block, evaluate it as a virtual row and wrap it appropriately. In all other cases, use a generic wrapper.
This method allows you to construct SQL expressions that are difficult to construct via other methods. For example:
Sequel.expr(1) - :a # SQL: (1 - a)
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 455 def expr(arg=(no_arg=true), &block) if block_given? if no_arg return expr(block) else raise Error, 'cannot provide both an argument and a block to Sequel.expr' end elsif no_arg raise Error, 'must provide either an argument or a block to Sequel.expr' end case arg when Symbol t, c, a = Sequel.split_symbol(arg) arg = if t SQL::QualifiedIdentifier.new(t, c) else SQL::Identifier.new(c) end if a arg = SQL::AliasedExpression.new(arg, a) end arg when SQL::Expression, LiteralString, SQL::Blob arg when Hash SQL::BooleanExpression.from_value_pairs(arg, :AND) when Array if condition_specifier?(arg) SQL::BooleanExpression.from_value_pairs(arg, :AND) else SQL::Wrapper.new(arg) end when Numeric SQL::NumericExpression.new(:NOOP, arg) when String SQL::StringExpression.new(:NOOP, arg) when TrueClass, FalseClass SQL::BooleanExpression.new(:NOOP, arg) when Proc expr(virtual_row(&arg)) else SQL::Wrapper.new(arg) end end
Extract a datetime_part (e.g. year, month) from the given expression:
Sequel.extract(:year, :date) # extract(year FROM "date")
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 508 def extract(datetime_part, exp) SQL::NumericExpression.new(:extract, datetime_part, exp) end
Returns a Sequel::SQL::Function
with the function name and the
given arguments.
Sequel.function(:now) # SQL: now() Sequel.function(:substr, :a, 1) # SQL: substr(a, 1)
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 517 def function(name, *args) SQL::Function.new(name, *args) end
Return a Postgres::HStore proxy for the given hash.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/pg_hstore.rb, line 317 def hstore(v) case v when Postgres::HStore v when Hash Postgres::HStore.new(v) else # May not be defined unless the pg_hstore_ops extension is used hstore_op(v) end end
Return the object wrapped in an Postgres::HStoreOp.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/pg_hstore_ops.rb, line 316 def hstore_op(v) case v when Postgres::HStoreOp v else Postgres::HStoreOp.new(v) end end
Return the argument wrapped as an SQL::Identifier
.
Sequel.identifier(:a__b) # "a__b"
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 524 def identifier(name) SQL::Identifier.new(name) end
Create a BooleanExpression
case insensitive (if the database
supports it) pattern match of the receiver with the given patterns. See
SQL::StringExpression.like
.
Sequel.ilike(:a, 'A%') # "a" ILIKE 'A%' ESCAPE '\'
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 561 def ilike(*args) SQL::StringExpression.like(*(args << {:case_insensitive=>true})) end
Return a Sequel::SQL::StringExpression
representing an SQL string made up of the concatenation of the given
array's elements. If an argument is passed, it is used in between each
element of the array in the SQL concatenation.
Sequel.join([:a]) # SQL: a Sequel.join([:a, :b]) # SQL: a || b Sequel.join([:a, 'b']) # SQL: a || 'b' Sequel.join(['a', :b], ' ') # SQL: 'a' || ' ' || b
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 537 def join(args, joiner=nil) raise Error, 'argument to Sequel.join must be an array' unless args.is_a?(Array) if joiner args = args.zip([joiner]*args.length).flatten args.pop end return SQL::StringExpression.new(:NOOP, '') if args.empty? args = args.map do |a| case a when Symbol, ::Sequel::SQL::Expression, ::Sequel::LiteralString, TrueClass, FalseClass, NilClass a else a.to_s end end SQL::StringExpression.new(:'||', *args) end

.
Sequel.like(:a, 'A%') # "a" LIKE 'A%' ESCAPE '\'
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 569 def like(*args) SQL::StringExpression.like(*args) end
Converts a string into a Sequel::LiteralString
, in order to
override string literalization, e.g.:
DB[:items].filter(:abc => 'def').sql #=> "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (abc = 'def')" DB[:items].filter(: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"
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 586 def lit(s, *args) # core_sql ignore if args.empty? if s.is_a?(LiteralString) s else LiteralString.new(s) end else SQL::PlaceholderLiteralString.new(s, args) end end
Return a Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression
created from the
condition specifier, matching none of the conditions.

# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 604 def negate(arg) if condition_specifier?(arg) SQL::BooleanExpression.from_value_pairs(arg, :AND, true) else raise Error, 'must pass a conditions specifier to Sequel.negate' end end

# File lib/sequel/extensions/pg_json_ops.rb, line 401 def pg_jsonb_op(v) case v when Postgres::JSONBOp v else Postgres::JSONBOp.new(v) end end
Convert the object to a Postgres::PGRange.
# File lib/sequel/extensions/pg_range.rb, line 506 def pg_range(v, db_type=nil) case v when Postgres::PGRange if db_type.nil? || v.db_type == db_type v else Postgres::PGRange.new(v.begin, v.end, :exclude_begin=>v.exclude_begin?, :exclude_end=>v.exclude_end?, :db_type=>db_type) end when Range Postgres::PGRange.from_range(v, db_type) else # May not be defined unless the pg_range_ops extension is used pg_range_op(v) end end

the array contains all two element arrays and you want it treated as an SQL value list (IN predicate) instead of as a
conditions specifier (similar to a hash). This is not necessary if you are
using this array as a value in a filter, but may be necessary if you are
using it as a value with placeholder SQL:
DB[:a].filter([:a, :b]=>[[1, 2], [3, 4]]) # SQL: (a, b) IN ((1, 2), (3, 4)) DB[:a].filter('(a, b) IN ?', [[1, 2], [3, 4]]) # SQL: (a, b) IN ((1 = 2) AND (3 = 4)) DB[:a].filter('(a, b) IN ?', Sequel.value_list([[1, 2], [3, 4]])) # SQL: (a, b) IN ((1, 2), (3, 4))
