class Hash

Sequel extends Hash to add methods to implement the SQL DSL.

Public Instance Methods

&(ce) click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression created from this hash, matching all of the conditions in this hash and the condition specified by the given argument.

{:a=>1} & :b # SQL: a = 1 AND b
{:a=>true} & ~:b # SQL: a IS TRUE AND NOT b
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 106
def &(ce)
  ::Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression.new(:AND, self, ce)
end
case(*args) click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::SQL::CaseExpression with this hash as the conditions and the given default value. Note that the order of the conditions will be arbitrary on ruby 1.8, so all conditions should be orthogonal.

{{:a=>[2,3]}=>1}.case(0) # SQL: CASE WHEN a IN (2, 3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
{:a=>1, :b=>2}.case(:d, :c) # SQL: CASE c WHEN a THEN 1 WHEN b THEN 2 ELSE d END
                              #  or: CASE c WHEN b THEN 2 WHEN a THEN 1 ELSE d END
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 136
def case(*args)
  ::Sequel::SQL::CaseExpression.new(to_a, *args)
end
hstore() click to toggle source

Create a new HStore using the receiver as the input hash. Note that the HStore created will not use the receiver as the backing store, since it has to modify the hash. To get the new backing store, use:

hash.hstore.to_hash
# File lib/sequel/extensions/pg_hstore.rb, line 342
def hstore
  Sequel::Postgres::HStore.new(self)
end
pg_json() click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::Postgres::JSONHash proxy to the receiver. This is mostly useful as a short cut for creating JSONHash objects that didn't come from the database.

# File lib/sequel/extensions/pg_json.rb, line 329
def pg_json
  Sequel::Postgres::JSONHash.new(self)
end
pg_jsonb() click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::Postgres::JSONHash proxy to the receiver. This is mostly useful as a short cut for creating JSONHash objects that didn't come from the database.

# File lib/sequel/extensions/pg_json.rb, line 336
def pg_jsonb
  Sequel::Postgres::JSONBHash.new(self)
end
sql_expr() click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression created from this hash, matching all of the conditions. Rarely do you need to call this explicitly, as Sequel generally assumes that hashes specify this type of condition.

{:a=>true}.sql_expr # SQL: a IS TRUE
{:a=>1, :b=>[2, 3]}.sql_expr # SQL: a = 1 AND b IN (2, 3)
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 146
def sql_expr
  ::Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression.from_value_pairs(self)
end
sql_negate() click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression created from this hash, matching none of the conditions.

{:a=>true}.sql_negate # SQL: a IS NOT TRUE
{:a=>1, :b=>[2, 3]}.sql_negate # SQL: a != 1 AND b NOT IN (2, 3)
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 155
def sql_negate
  ::Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression.from_value_pairs(self, :AND, true)
end
sql_or() click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression created from this hash, matching any of the conditions.

{:a=>true}.sql_or # SQL: a IS TRUE
{:a=>1, :b=>[2, 3]}.sql_or # SQL: a = 1 OR b IN (2, 3)
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 164
def sql_or
  ::Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression.from_value_pairs(self, :OR)
end
|(ce) click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression created from this hash, matching all of the conditions in this hash or the condition specified by the given argument.

{:a=>1} | :b # SQL: a = 1 OR b
{:a=>true} | ~:b # SQL: a IS TRUE OR NOT b
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 116
def |(ce)
  ::Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression.new(:OR, self, ce)
end
~() click to toggle source

Return a Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression created from this hash, not matching all of the conditions.

~{:a=>true} # SQL: a IS NOT TRUE
~{:a=>1, :b=>[2, 3]} # SQL: a != 1 OR b NOT IN (2, 3)
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 125
def ~
  ::Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression.from_value_pairs(self, :OR, true)
end
