Public Instance methods

Yields a paginated dataset for each page and returns the receiver. Does a count to find the total number of records for this dataset.

Return a cloned nullified dataset.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/extensions/null_dataset.rb, line 90
90:     def nullify
91:       clone.nullify!
92:     end

Nullify the current dataset

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/extensions/null_dataset.rb, line 95
95:     def nullify!
96:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Loading the null_dataset extension globally', "Please use Database/Dataset#extension to load the extension into this dataset") unless is_a?(Nullifiable)
97:       extend NullDataset
98:     end

Returns a paginated dataset. The returned dataset is limited to the page size at the correct offset, and extended with the Pagination module. If a record count is not provided, does a count of total number of records for this dataset.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/extensions/pagination.rb, line 26
26:     def paginate(page_no, page_size, record_count=nil)
27:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Loading the pagination extension globally', "Please use Database/Dataset#extension to load the extension into this dataset") unless is_a?(DatasetPagination)
28:       raise(Error, "You cannot paginate a dataset that already has a limit") if @opts[:limit]
29:       paginated = limit(page_size, (page_no - 1) * page_size)
30:       paginated.extend(Pagination)
31:       paginated.set_pagination_info(page_no, page_size, record_count || count)
32:     end

Pretty prints the records in the dataset as plain-text table.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/extensions/pretty_table.rb, line 30
30:     def print(*cols)
31:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Loading the pretty_table extension globally', "Please use Database/Dataset#extension to load the extension into this dataset") unless is_a?(DatasetPrinter)
32:       ds = naked
33:       rows = ds.all
34:       Sequel::PrettyTable.print(rows, cols.empty? ? ds.columns : cols)
35:     end

Translates a query block into a dataset. Query blocks are an alternative to Sequel‘s usual method chaining, by using instance_eval with a proxy object:

  dataset = DB[:items].query do
    select :x, :y, :z
    filter{(x > 1) & (y > 2)}
    reverse :z
  end

Which is the same as:

 dataset = DB[:items].select(:x, :y, :z).filter{(x > 1) & (y > 2)}.reverse(:z)

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/extensions/query.rb, line 47
47:     def query(&block)
48:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Loading the query extension globally', "Please use Database/Dataset#extension to load the extension into this dataset") unless is_a?(DatasetQuery)
49:       query = Query.new(self)
50:       query.instance_eval(&block)
51:       query.dataset
52:     end

Remove columns from the list of selected columns. If any of the currently selected columns use expressions/aliases, this will remove selected columns with the given aliases. It will also remove entries from the selection that match exactly:

  # Assume columns a, b, and c in items table
  DB[:items] # SELECT * FROM items
  DB[:items].select_remove(:c) # SELECT a, b FROM items
  DB[:items].select(:a, :b___c, :c___b).select_remove(:c) # SELECT a, c AS b FROM items
  DB[:items].select(:a, :b___c, :c___b).select_remove(:c___b) # SELECT a, b AS c FROM items

Note that there are a few cases where this method may not work correctly:

  • This dataset joins multiple tables and does not have an existing explicit selection. In this case, the code will currently use unqualified column names for all columns the dataset returns, except for the columns given.
  • This dataset has an existing explicit selection containing an item that returns multiple database columns (e.g. Sequel.expr(:table).*, Sequel.lit(‘column1, column2’)). In this case, the behavior is undefined and this method should not be used.

There may be other cases where this method does not work correctly, use it with caution.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/extensions/select_remove.rb, line 40
40:     def select_remove(*cols)
41:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Loading the select_remove extension globally', "Please use Database/Dataset#extension to load the extension into this dataset") unless is_a?(SelectRemove)
42:       if (sel = @opts[:select]) && !sel.empty?
43:         select(*(columns.zip(sel).reject{|c, s| cols.include?(c)}.map{|c, s| s} - cols))
44:       else
45:         select(*(columns - cols))
46:       end
47:     end

Return a string that can be processed by the dot program (included with graphviz) in order to see a visualization of the dataset‘s abstract syntax tree.

     # File lib/sequel/extensions/to_dot.rb, line 152
152:     def to_dot
153:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Loading the to_dot extension globally', "Please use Database/Dataset#extension to load the extension into this dataset") unless is_a?(ToDot::DatasetMethods)
154:       ToDot.output(self)
155:     end

7 - Mutation methods

These methods modify the receiving dataset and should be used with care.

Constants

MUTATION_METHODS = QUERY_METHODS - [:paginate, :naked, :from_self]   All methods that should have a ! method added that modifies the receiver.

Attributes

identifier_input_method  [W]  Set the method to call on identifiers going into the database for this dataset
identifier_output_method  [W]  Set the method to call on identifiers coming the database for this dataset
quote_identifiers  [W]  Whether to quote identifiers for this dataset
row_proc  [RW]  The row_proc for this database, should be any object that responds to call with a single hash argument and returns the object you want each to return.

Public Class methods

Setup mutation (e.g. filter!) methods. These operate the same as the non-! methods, but replace the options of the current dataset with the options of the resulting dataset.

Do not call this method with untrusted input, as that can result in arbitrary code execution.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/mutation.rb, line 17
17:     def self.def_mutation_method(*meths)
18:       options = meths.pop if meths.last.is_a?(Hash)
19:       mod = options[:module] if options
20:       mod ||= self
21:       meths.each do |meth|
22:         mod.class_eval("def #{meth}!(*args, &block); mutation_method(:#{meth}, *args, &block) end", __FILE__, __LINE__)
23:       end
24:     end

Public Instance methods

Load an extension into the receiver. In addition to requiring the extension file, this also modifies the dataset to work with the extension (usually extending it with a module defined in the extension file). If no related extension file exists or the extension does not have specific support for Database objects, an Error will be raised. Returns self.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/mutation.rb, line 47
47:     def extension!(*exts)
48:       Sequel.extension(*exts)
49:       exts.each do |ext|
50:         if pr = Sequel.synchronize{EXTENSIONS[ext]}
51:           pr.call(self)
52:         else
53:           raise(Error, "Extension #{ext} does not have specific support handling individual datasets")
54:         end
55:       end
56:       self
57:     end

Avoid self-referential dataset by cloning.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/mutation.rb, line 60
60:     def from_self!(*args, &block)
61:       @opts = clone.from_self(*args, &block).opts
62:       self
63:     end

Remove the row_proc from the current dataset.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/mutation.rb, line 66
66:     def naked!
67:       self.row_proc = nil
68:       self
69:     end

1 - Methods that return modified datasets

These methods all return modified copies of the receiver.

Constants

EXTENSIONS = {}   Hash of extension name symbols to callable objects to load the extension into the Dataset object (usually by extending it with a module defined in the extension).
COLUMN_CHANGE_OPTS = [:select, :sql, :from, :join].freeze   The dataset options that require the removal of cached columns if changed.
NON_SQL_OPTIONS = [:server, :defaults, :overrides, :graph, :eager_graph, :graph_aliases]   Which options don‘t affect the SQL generation. Used by simple_select_all? to determine if this is a simple SELECT * FROM table.
CONDITIONED_JOIN_TYPES = [:inner, :full_outer, :right_outer, :left_outer, :full, :right, :left]   These symbols have _join methods created (e.g. inner_join) that call join_table with the symbol, passing along the arguments and block from the method call.
UNCONDITIONED_JOIN_TYPES = [:natural, :natural_left, :natural_right, :natural_full, :cross]   These symbols have _join methods created (e.g. natural_join) that call join_table with the symbol. They only accept a single table argument which is passed to join_table, and they raise an error if called with a block.
JOIN_METHODS = (CONDITIONED_JOIN_TYPES + UNCONDITIONED_JOIN_TYPES).map{|x| "#{x}_join".to_sym} + [:join, :join_table]   All methods that return modified datasets with a joined table added.
QUERY_METHODS = (<<-METHS).split.map{|x| x.to_sym} + JOIN_METHODS add_graph_aliases and distinct except exclude exclude_having exclude_where filter for_update from from_self graph grep group group_and_count group_by having intersect invert limit lock_style naked or order order_append order_by order_more order_prepend paginate qualify query reverse reverse_order select select_all select_append select_group select_more server set_defaults set_graph_aliases set_overrides unfiltered ungraphed ungrouped union unlimited unordered where with with_recursive with_sql METHS ).split.map{|x| x.to_sym} + JOIN_METHODS   Methods that return modified datasets

Public Class methods

Register an extension callback for Dataset objects. ext should be the extension name symbol, and mod should either be a Module that the dataset is extended with, or a callable object called with the database object. If mod is not provided, a block can be provided and is treated as the mod object.

If mod is a module, this also registers a Database extension that will extend all of the database‘s datasets.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 55
55:     def self.register_extension(ext, mod=nil, &block)
56:       if mod
57:         raise(Error, "cannot provide both mod and block to Dataset.register_extension") if block
58:         if mod.is_a?(Module)
59:           block = proc{|ds| ds.extend(mod)}
60:           Sequel::Database.register_extension(ext){|db| db.extend_datasets(mod)}
61:         else
62:           block = mod
63:         end
64:       end
65:       Sequel.synchronize{EXTENSIONS[ext] = block}
66:     end

Public Instance methods

Adds an further filter to an existing filter using AND. If no filter exists an error is raised. This method is identical to filter except it expects an existing filter.

  DB[:table].filter(:a).and(:b) # SELECT * FROM table WHERE a AND b

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 73
73:     def and(*cond, &block)
74:       unless @opts[:having] || @opts[:where]
75:         Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Dataset#and will no longer raise for an unfilered dataset starting in Sequel 4.')
76:         raise(InvalidOperation, "No existing filter found.")
77:       end
78:       if @opts[:having]
79:         Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Dataset#and will no longer modify the HAVING clause starting in Sequel 4.  Switch to using Dataset#having or use the filter_having extension.')
80:         having(*cond, &block)
81:       else
82:         where(*cond, &block)
83:       end
84:     end

Returns a new clone of the dataset with with the given options merged. If the options changed include options in COLUMN_CHANGE_OPTS, the cached columns are deleted. This method should generally not be called directly by user code.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 90
90:     def clone(opts = nil)
91:       c = super()
92:       if opts
93:         c.instance_variable_set(:@opts, @opts.merge(opts))
94:         c.instance_variable_set(:@columns, nil) if @columns && !opts.each_key{|o| break if COLUMN_CHANGE_OPTS.include?(o)}
95:       else
96:         c.instance_variable_set(:@opts, @opts.dup)
97:       end
98:       c
99:     end

Returns a copy of the dataset with the SQL DISTINCT clause. The DISTINCT clause is used to remove duplicate rows from the output. If arguments are provided, uses a DISTINCT ON clause, in which case it will only be distinct on those columns, instead of all returned columns. Raises an error if arguments are given and DISTINCT ON is not supported.

 DB[:items].distinct # SQL: SELECT DISTINCT * FROM items
 DB[:items].order(:id).distinct(:id) # SQL: SELECT DISTINCT ON (id) * FROM items ORDER BY id

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 110
110:     def distinct(*args)
111:       raise(InvalidOperation, "DISTINCT ON not supported") if !args.empty? && !supports_distinct_on?
112:       clone(:distinct => args)
113:     end

Adds an EXCEPT clause using a second dataset object. An EXCEPT compound dataset returns all rows in the current dataset that are not in the given dataset. Raises an InvalidOperation if the operation is not supported. Options:

:alias :Use the given value as the from_self alias
:all :Set to true to use EXCEPT ALL instead of EXCEPT, so duplicate rows can occur
:from_self :Set to false to not wrap the returned dataset in a from_self, use with care.
  DB[:items].except(DB[:other_items])
  # SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM items EXCEPT SELECT * FROM other_items) AS t1

  DB[:items].except(DB[:other_items], :all=>true, :from_self=>false)
  # SELECT * FROM items EXCEPT ALL SELECT * FROM other_items

  DB[:items].except(DB[:other_items], :alias=>:i)
  # SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM items EXCEPT SELECT * FROM other_items) AS i

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 132
132:     def except(dataset, opts={})
133:       unless opts.is_a?(Hash)
134:         Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Passing a non-hash as the second argument to Dataset#except', "Please switch to an options hash with the :all option")
135:         opts = {:all=>opts}
136:       end
137:       raise(InvalidOperation, "EXCEPT not supported") unless supports_intersect_except?
138:       raise(InvalidOperation, "EXCEPT ALL not supported") if opts[:all] && !supports_intersect_except_all?
139:       compound_clone(:except, dataset, opts)
140:     end

Performs the inverse of Dataset#filter. Note that if you have multiple filter conditions, this is not the same as a negation of all conditions.

  DB[:items].exclude(:category => 'software')
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (category != 'software')

  DB[:items].exclude(:category => 'software', :id=>3)
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((category != 'software') OR (id != 3))

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 150
150:     def exclude(*cond, &block)
151:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Dataset#exclude will no longer modify the HAVING clause starting in Sequel 4.  Switch to using Dataset#exclude_having or use the filter_having extension.') if @opts[:having]
152:       _filter_or_exclude(true, @opts[:having] ? :having : :where, *cond, &block)
153:     end

Inverts the given conditions and adds them to the HAVING clause.

  DB[:items].select_group(:name).exclude_having{count(name) < 2}
  # SELECT name FROM items GROUP BY name HAVING (count(name) >= 2)

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 159
159:     def exclude_having(*cond, &block)
160:       _filter_or_exclude(true, :having, *cond, &block)
161:     end

Inverts the given conditions and adds them to the WHERE clause.

  DB[:items].select_group(:name).exclude_where(:category => 'software')
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (category != 'software')

  DB[:items].select_group(:name).
    exclude_having{count(name) < 2}.
    exclude_where(:category => 'software')
  # SELECT name FROM items WHERE (category != 'software')
  # GROUP BY name HAVING (count(name) >= 2)

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 173
173:     def exclude_where(*cond, &block)
174:       _filter_or_exclude(true, :where, *cond, &block)
175:     end

Return a clone of the dataset loaded with the extensions, see extension!.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 178
178:     def extension(*exts)
179:       clone.extension!(*exts)
180:     end

Returns a copy of the dataset with the given conditions imposed upon it. If the query already has a HAVING clause, then the conditions are imposed in the HAVING clause. If not, then they are imposed in the WHERE clause.

filter accepts the following argument types:

  • Hash - list of equality/inclusion expressions
  • Array - depends:
    • If first member is a string, assumes the rest of the arguments are parameters and interpolates them into the string.
    • If all members are arrays of length two, treats the same way as a hash, except it allows for duplicate keys to be specified.
    • Otherwise, treats each argument as a separate condition.
  • String - taken literally
  • Symbol - taken as a boolean column argument (e.g. WHERE active)
  • Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression - an existing condition expression, probably created using the Sequel expression filter DSL.

filter also takes a block, which should return one of the above argument types, and is treated the same way. This block yields a virtual row object, which is easy to use to create identifiers and functions. For more details on the virtual row support, see the "Virtual Rows" guide

If both a block and regular argument are provided, they get ANDed together.

Examples:

  DB[:items].filter(:id => 3)
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (id = 3)

  DB[:items].filter('price < ?', 100)
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE price < 100

  DB[:items].filter([[:id, [1,2,3]], [:id, 0..10]])
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((id IN (1, 2, 3)) AND ((id >= 0) AND (id <= 10)))

  DB[:items].filter('price < 100')
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE price < 100

  DB[:items].filter(:active)
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE :active

  DB[:items].filter{price < 100}
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (price < 100)

Multiple filter calls can be chained for scoping:

  software = dataset.filter(:category => 'software').filter{price < 100}
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((category = 'software') AND (price < 100))

See the the "Dataset Filtering" guide for more examples and details.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/query.rb, line 234
234:     def filter(*cond, &block)
235:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Dataset#filter will no longer modify the HAVING clause starting in Sequel 4.  Switch to using Dataset#having or use the filter_having extension.') if @opts[:having]
236:       _filter(@opts[:having] ? :having : :where, *cond, &block)
237:     end

Returns a cloned dataset with a :update lock style.

Match any of the columns to any of the patterns. The terms can be strings (which use LIKE) or regular expressions (which are only supported on MySQL and PostgreSQL). Note that the total number of pattern matches will be Array(columns).length * Array(terms).length, which could cause performance issues.

Options (all are boolean):

:all_columns :All columns must be matched to any of the given patterns.
:all_patterns :All patterns must match at least one of the columns.
:case_insensitive :Use a case insensitive pattern match (the default is case sensitive if the database supports it).

If both :all_columns and :all_patterns are true, all columns must match all patterns.

Examples:

  dataset.grep(:a, '%test%')
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (a LIKE '%test%')

  dataset.grep([:a, :b], %w'%test% foo')
  # SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((a LIKE '%test%') OR (a LIKE 'foo') OR (b LIKE '%test%') OR (b LIKE 'foo'))

  dataset.grep([:a, :b], %w'%foo% %bar%', :all_patterns=>true)
  # SELECT * FROM a WHERE (((a LIKE '%foo%') OR (b LIKE '%foo%')) AND ((a LIKE '%bar%') OR (b LIKE '%bar%')))

Adds an INTERSECT clause using a second dataset object. An INTERSECT compound dataset returns all rows in both the current dataset and the given dataset. Raises an InvalidOperation if the operation is not supported. Options:

:alias :Use the given value as the from_self alias
:all :Set to true to use INTERSECT ALL instead of INTERSECT, so duplicate rows can occur
:from_self :Set to false to not wrap the returned dataset in a from_self, use with care.

458:     def join(*args, &block)
459:       inner_join(*args, &block)
460:     end

Returns a joined dataset. Not usually called directly, users should use the appropriate join method (e.g. join, left_join, natural_join, cross_join) which fills in the type argument.

Takes the following arguments:

  • type - The type of join to do (e.g. :inner)
  • table - Depends on type:
  • expr - specifies conditions, depends on type:
    • Hash, Array of two element arrays - Assumes key (1st arg) is column of joined table (unless already qualified), and value (2nd arg) is column of the last joined or primary table (or the :implicit_qualifier option). To specify multiple conditions on a single joined table column, you must use an array. Uses a JOIN with an ON clause.
    • Array - If all members of the array are symbols, considers them as columns and uses a JOIN with a USING clause. Most databases will remove duplicate columns from the result set if this is used.
    • nil - If a block is not given, doesn‘t use ON or USING, so the JOIN should be a NATURAL or CROSS join. If a block is given, uses an ON clause based on the block, see below.
    • Everything else - pretty much the same as a using the argument in a call to filter, so strings are considered literal, symbols specify boolean columns, and Sequel expressions can be used. Uses a JOIN with an ON clause.
  • options - a hash of options, with any of the following keys:
    • :table_alias - the name of the table‘s alias when joining, necessary for joining to the same table more than once. No alias is used by default.
    • :implicit_qualifier - The name to use for qualifying implicit conditions. By default, the last joined or primary table is used.
    • :qualify - Can be set to false to not do any implicit qualification. Can be set to :deep to use the Qualifier AST Transformer, which will attempt to qualify subexpressions of the expression tree. Defaults to the value of default_join_table_qualification.
  • block - The block argument should only be given if a JOIN with an ON clause is used, in which case it yields the table alias/name for the table currently being joined, the table alias/name for the last joined (or first table), and an array of previous SQL::JoinClause. Unlike filter, this block is not treated as a virtual row block.

Examples:

  DB[:a].join_table(:cross, :b)
  # SELECT * FROM a CROSS JOIN b

  DB[:a].join_table(:inner, DB[:b], :c=>d)
  # SELECT * FROM a INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM b) AS t1 ON (t1.c = a.d)

  DB[:a].join_table(:left, :b___c, [:d])
  # SELECT * FROM a LEFT JOIN b AS c USING (d)

  DB[:a].natural_join(:b).join_table(:inner, :c) do |ta, jta, js|
    (Sequel.qualify(ta, :d) > Sequel.qualify(jta, :e)) & {Sequel.qualify(ta, :f)=>DB.from(js.first.table).select(:g)}
  end
  # SELECT * FROM a NATURAL JOIN b INNER JOIN c
  #   ON ((c.d > b.e) AND (c.f IN (SELECT g FROM b)))

Returns a cloned dataset with the given lock style. If style is a string, it will be used directly. You should never pass a string to this method that is derived from user input, as that can lead to SQL injection.

Returns a copy of the dataset with the order changed. If the dataset has an existing order, it is ignored and overwritten with this order. If a nil is given the returned dataset has no order. This can accept multiple arguments of varying kinds, such as SQL functions. If a block is given, it is treated as a virtual row block, similar to filter.

  DB[:items].order(:name) # SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY name
  DB[:items].order(:a, :b) # SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY a, b
  DB[:items].order(Sequel.lit('a + b')) # SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY a + b
  DB[:items].order(:a + :b) # SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY (a + b)

Set the server for this dataset to use. Used to pick a specific database shard to run a query against, or to override the default (where SELECT uses :read_only database and all other queries use the :default database). This method is always available but is only useful when database sharding is being used.

Unbind bound variables from this dataset‘s filter and return an array of two objects. The first object is a modified dataset where the filter has been replaced with one that uses bound variable placeholders. The second object is the hash of unbound variables. You can then prepare and execute (or just call) the dataset with the bound variables to get results.

  ds, bv = DB[:items].filter(:a=>1).unbind
  ds # SELECT * FROM items WHERE (a = $a)
  bv #  {:a => 1}

Returns a copy of the dataset with the static SQL used. This is useful if you want to keep the same row_proc/graph, but change the SQL used to custom SQL.

  DB[:items].with_sql('SELECT * FROM foo') # SELECT * FROM foo

You can use placeholders in your SQL and provide arguments for those placeholders:

  DB[:items].with_sql('SELECT ? FROM foo', 1) # SELECT 1 FROM foo

You can also provide a method name and arguments to call to get the SQL:

  DB[:items] << {:id=>0, :name=>'Zero'} << DB[:old_items].select(:id, name)

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 24
24:     def <<(arg)
25:       insert(arg)
26:       self
27:     end

Returns the first record matching the conditions. Examples:

  DB[:table][:id=>1] # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 1) LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=1}

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 33
33:     def [](*conditions)
34:       raise(Error, ARRAY_ACCESS_ERROR_MSG) if (conditions.length == 1 and conditions.first.is_a?(Integer)) or conditions.length == 0
35:       first(*conditions)
36:     end

Update all records matching the conditions with the values specified. Returns the number of rows affected.

  DB[:table][:id=>1] = {:id=>2} # UPDATE table SET id = 2 WHERE id = 1
  # => 1 # number of rows affected

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 43
43:     def []=(conditions, values)
44:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Dataset#[]=', 'Please load the sequel_3_dataset_methods extension to continue using it')
45:       filter(conditions).update(values)
46:     end

Returns an array with all records in the dataset. If a block is given, the array is iterated over after all items have been loaded.

  DB[:table].all # SELECT * FROM table
  # => [{:id=>1, ...}, {:id=>2, ...}, ...]

  # Iterate over all rows in the table
  DB[:table].all{|row| p row}

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 56
56:     def all(&block)
57:       a = []
58:       each{|r| a << r}
59:       post_load(a)
60:       a.each(&block) if block
61:       a
62:     end

Returns the average value for the given column/expression. Uses a virtual row block if no argument is given.

  DB[:table].avg(:number) # SELECT avg(number) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 3
  DB[:table].avg{function(column)} # SELECT avg(function(column)) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 1

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 71
71:     def avg(column=Sequel.virtual_row(&Proc.new))
72:       aggregate_dataset.get{avg(column).as(:avg)}
73:     end

Returns the columns in the result set in order as an array of symbols. If the columns are currently cached, returns the cached value. Otherwise, a SELECT query is performed to retrieve a single row in order to get the columns.

If you are looking for all columns for a single table and maybe some information about each column (e.g. database type), see Database#schema.

  DB[:table].columns
  # => [:id, :name]

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 84
84:     def columns
85:       return @columns if @columns
86:       ds = unfiltered.unordered.naked.clone(:distinct => nil, :limit => 1, :offset=>nil)
87:       ds.each{break}
88:       @columns = ds.instance_variable_get(:@columns)
89:       @columns || []
90:     end

Ignore any cached column information and perform a query to retrieve a row in order to get the columns.

  DB[:table].columns!
  # => [:id, :name]

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 97
 97:     def columns!
 98:       @columns = nil
 99:       columns
100:     end

Returns the number of records in the dataset. If an argument is provided, it is used as the argument to count. If a block is provided, it is treated as a virtual row, and the result is used as the argument to count.

  DB[:table].count # SELECT count(*) AS count FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 3
  DB[:table].count(:column) # SELECT count(column) AS count FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 2
  DB[:table].count{foo(column)} # SELECT count(foo(column)) AS count FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 1

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 113
113:     def count(arg=(no_arg=true), &block)
114:       if no_arg
115:         if block
116:           arg = Sequel.virtual_row(&block)
117:           aggregate_dataset.get{count(arg).as(count)}
118:         else
119:           aggregate_dataset.get{count(:*){}.as(count)}.to_i
120:         end
121:       elsif block
122:         raise Error, 'cannot provide both argument and block to Dataset#count'
123:       else
124:         aggregate_dataset.get{count(arg).as(count)}
125:       end
126:     end

Deletes the records in the dataset. The returned value should be number of records deleted, but that is adapter dependent.

  DB[:table].delete # DELETE * FROM table
  # => 3

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 133
133:     def delete(&block)
134:       sql = delete_sql
135:       if uses_returning?(:delete)
136:         returning_fetch_rows(sql, &block)
137:       else
138:         execute_dui(sql)
139:       end
140:     end

Iterates over the records in the dataset as they are yielded from the database adapter, and returns self.

  DB[:table].each{|row| p row} # SELECT * FROM table

Note that this method is not safe to use on many adapters if you are running additional queries inside the provided block. If you are running queries inside the block, you should use all instead of each for the outer queries, or use a separate thread or shard inside each.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 151
151:     def each
152:       if @opts[:graph]
153:         graph_each{|r| yield r}
154:       elsif row_proc = @row_proc
155:         fetch_rows(select_sql){|r| yield row_proc.call(r)}
156:       else
157:         fetch_rows(select_sql){|r| yield r}
158:       end
159:       self
160:     end

Returns true if no records exist in the dataset, false otherwise

  DB[:table].empty? # SELECT 1 AS one FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => false

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 166
166:     def empty?
167:       get(Sequel::SQL::AliasedExpression.new(1, :one)).nil?
168:     end

Executes a select query and fetches records, yielding each record to the supplied block. The yielded records should be hashes with symbol keys. This method should probably should not be called by user code, use each instead.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 174
174:     def fetch_rows(sql)
175:       Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Dataset#fetch_rows default implementation and Sequel::NotImplemented', 'All dataset instances can be assumed to implement fetch_rows')
176:       raise NotImplemented, NOTIMPL_MSG
177:     end

If a integer argument is given, it is interpreted as a limit, and then returns all matching records up to that limit. If no argument is passed, it returns the first matching record. If any other type of argument(s) is passed, it is given to filter and the first matching record is returned. If a block is given, it is used to filter the dataset before returning anything.

If there are no records in the dataset, returns nil (or an empty array if an integer argument is given).

Examples:

  DB[:table].first # SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=>7}

  DB[:table].first(2) # SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 2
  # => [{:id=>6}, {:id=>4}]

  DB[:table].first(:id=>2) # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 2) LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=>2}

  DB[:table].first("id = 3") # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 3) LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=>3}

  DB[:table].first("id = ?", 4) # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id = 4) LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=>4}

  DB[:table].first{id > 2} # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id > 2) LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=>5}

  DB[:table].first("id > ?", 4){id < 6} # SELECT * FROM table WHERE ((id > 4) AND (id < 6)) LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=>5}

  DB[:table].first(2){id < 2} # SELECT * FROM table WHERE (id < 2) LIMIT 2
  # => [{:id=>1}]

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 214
214:     def first(*args, &block)
215:       ds = block ? filter(&block) : self
216: 
217:       if args.empty?
218:         ds.single_record
219:       else
220:         args = (args.size == 1) ? args.first : args
221:         if args.is_a?(Integer)
222:           ds.limit(args).all
223:         else
224:           ds.filter(args).single_record
225:         end
226:       end
227:     end

Calls first. If first returns nil (signaling that no row matches), raise a Sequel::NoMatchingRow exception.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 231
231:     def first!(*args, &block)
232:       first(*args, &block) || raise(Sequel::NoMatchingRow)
233:     end

Return the column value for the first matching record in the dataset. Raises an error if both an argument and block is given.

  DB[:table].get(:id) # SELECT id FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 3

  ds.get{sum(id)} # SELECT sum(id) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 6

You can pass an array of arguments to return multiple arguments, but you must make sure each element in the array has an alias that Sequel can determine:

  DB[:table].get([:id, :name]) # SELECT id, name FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => [3, 'foo']

  DB[:table].get{[sum(id).as(sum), name]} # SELECT sum(id) AS sum, name FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => [6, 'foo']

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 253
253:     def get(column=(no_arg=true; nil), &block)
254:       ds = naked
255:       if block
256:         raise(Error, ARG_BLOCK_ERROR_MSG) unless no_arg
257:         ds = ds.select(&block)
258:         column = ds.opts[:select]
259:         column = nil if column.is_a?(Array) && column.length < 2
260:       else
261:         ds = if column.is_a?(Array)
262:           ds.select(*column)
263:         else
264:           ds.select(column)
265:         end
266:       end
267: 
268:       if column.is_a?(Array)
269:        if r = ds.single_record
270:          r.values_at(*hash_key_symbols(column))
271:        end
272:       else
273:         ds.single_value
274:       end
275:     end

Inserts multiple records into the associated table. This method can be used to efficiently insert a large number of records into a table in a single query if the database supports it. Inserts are automatically wrapped in a transaction.

This method is called with a columns array and an array of value arrays:

  DB[:table].import([:x, :y], [[1, 2], [3, 4]])
  # INSERT INTO table (x, y) VALUES (1, 2)
  # INSERT INTO table (x, y) VALUES (3, 4)

This method also accepts a dataset instead of an array of value arrays:

  DB[:table].import([:x, :y], DB[:table2].select(:a, :b))
  # INSERT INTO table (x, y) SELECT a, b FROM table2

Options:

:commit_every :Open a new transaction for every given number of records. For example, if you provide a value of 50, will commit after every 50 records.
:server :Set the server/shard to use for the transaction and insert queries.
:slice :Same as :commit_every, :commit_every takes precedence.

311:           rows << ds._import(columns, values[offset, slice_size], opts)
312:           offset += slice_size
313:         end
314:         rows.flatten
315:       else
316:         ds._import(columns, values, opts)
317:       end
318:     end

Inserts values into the associated table. The returned value is generally the value of the primary key for the inserted row, but that is adapter dependent.

insert handles a number of different argument formats:

no arguments or single empty hash :Uses DEFAULT VALUES
single hash :Most common format, treats keys as columns an values as values
single array :Treats entries as values, with no columns
two arrays :Treats first array as columns, second array as values
single Dataset :Treats as an insert based on a selection from the dataset given, with no columns
array and dataset :Treats as an insert based on a selection from the dataset given, with the columns given by the array.

Examples:

  DB[:items].insert
  # INSERT INTO items DEFAULT VALUES

  DB[:items].insert({})
  # INSERT INTO items DEFAULT VALUES

  DB[:items].insert([1,2,3])
  # INSERT INTO items VALUES (1, 2, 3)

  DB[:items].insert([:a, :b], [1,2])
  # INSERT INTO items (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)

  DB[:items].insert(:a => 1, :b => 2)
  # INSERT INTO items (a, b) VALUES (1, 2)

  DB[:items].insert(DB[:old_items])
  # INSERT INTO items SELECT * FROM old_items

  DB[:items].insert([:a, :b], DB[:old_items])
  # INSERT INTO items (a, b) SELECT * FROM old_items

359:       else
360:         execute_insert(sql)
361:       end
362:     end

Inserts multiple values. If a block is given it is invoked for each item in the given array before inserting it. See multi_insert as a possibly faster version that may be able to insert multiple records in one SQL statement (if supported by the database). Returns an array of primary keys of inserted rows.

  DB[:table].insert_multiple([{:x=>1}, {:x=>2}])
  # => [4, 5]
  # INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (1)
  # INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (2)

  DB[:table].insert_multiple([{:x=>1}, {:x=>2}]){|row| row[:y] = row[:x] * 2; row }
  # => [6, 7]
  # INSERT INTO table (x, y) VALUES (1, 2)
  # INSERT INTO table (x, y) VALUES (2, 4)

383:       else
384:         array.map{|i| insert(i)}
385:       end
386:     end

Returns the interval between minimum and maximum values for the given column/expression. Uses a virtual row block if no argument is given.

  DB[:table].interval(:id) # SELECT (max(id) - min(id)) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 6
  DB[:table].interval{function(column)} # SELECT (max(function(column)) - min(function(column))) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 7

396:       aggregate_dataset.get{(max(column) - min(column)).as(:interval)}
397:     end

Reverses the order and then runs first with the given arguments and block. Note that this will not necessarily give you the last record in the dataset, unless you have an unambiguous order. If there is not currently an order for this dataset, raises an Error.

  DB[:table].order(:id).last # SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1
  # => {:id=>10}

  DB[:table].order(Sequel.desc(:id)).last(2) # SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 2
  # => [{:id=>1}, {:id=>2}]

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 409
409:     def last(*args, &block)
410:       raise(Error, 'No order specified') unless @opts[:order]
411:       reverse.first(*args, &block)
412:     end

Maps column values for each record in the dataset (if a column name is given), or performs the stock mapping functionality of Enumerable otherwise. Raises an Error if both an argument and block are given.

  DB[:table].map(:id) # SELECT * FROM table
  # => [1, 2, 3, ...]

  DB[:table].map{|r| r[:id] * 2} # SELECT * FROM table
  # => [2, 4, 6, ...]

You can also provide an array of column names:

  DB[:table].map([:id, :name]) # SELECT * FROM table
  # => [[1, 'A'], [2, 'B'], [3, 'C'], ...]

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 428

431:         return naked.map(column) if row_proc
432:         if column.is_a?(Array)
433:           super(){|r| r.values_at(*column)}

437:       else
438:         super(&block)
439:       end
440:     end

Returns the maximum value for the given column/expression. Uses a virtual row block if no argument is given.

  DB[:table].max(:id) # SELECT max(id) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 10
  DB[:table].max{function(column)} # SELECT max(function(column)) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 7

450:       aggregate_dataset.get{max(column).as(:max)}
451:     end

Returns the minimum value for the given column/expression. Uses a virtual row block if no argument is given.

  DB[:table].min(:id) # SELECT min(id) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 1
  DB[:table].min{function(column)} # SELECT min(function(column)) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 0

[Source]

This is a front end for import that allows you to submit an array of hashes instead of arrays of columns and values:

  DB[:table].multi_insert([{:x => 1}, {:x => 2}])
  # INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (1)
  # INSERT INTO table (x) VALUES (2)

Be aware that all hashes should have the same keys if you use this calling method, otherwise some columns could be missed or set to null instead of to default values.

This respects the same options as import.

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 476
476:     def multi_insert(hashes, opts={})
477:       return if hashes.empty?
478:       columns = hashes.first.keys
479:       import(columns, hashes.map{|h| columns.map{|c| h[c]}}, opts)
480:     end

Yields each row in the dataset, but interally uses multiple queries as needed with limit and offset to process the entire result set without keeping all rows in the dataset in memory, even if the underlying driver buffers all query results in memory.

Because this uses multiple queries internally, in order to remain consistent, it also uses a transaction internally. Additionally, to make sure that all rows in the dataset are yielded and none are yielded twice, the dataset must have an unambiguous order. Sequel requires that datasets using this method have an order, but it cannot ensure that the order is unambiguous.

Options:

:rows_per_fetch :The number of rows to fetch per query. Defaults to 1000.

Returns a Range instance made from the minimum and maximum values for the given column/expression. Uses a virtual row block if no argument is given.

  DB[:table].range(:id) # SELECT max(id) AS v1, min(id) AS v2 FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 1..10
  DB[:table].interval{function(column)} # SELECT max(function(column)) AS v1, min(function(column)) AS v2 FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 0..7

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 538
538:     def range(column=Sequel.virtual_row(&Proc.new))
539:       if r = aggregate_dataset.select{[min(column).as(v1), max(column).as(v2)]}.first
540:         (r[:v1]..r[:v2])
541:       end
542:     end

Returns a hash with key_column values as keys and value_column values as values. Similar to to_hash, but only selects the columns given.

  DB[:table].select_hash(:id, :name) # SELECT id, name FROM table
  # => {1=>'a', 2=>'b', ...}

You can also provide an array of column names for either the key_column, the value column, or both:

  DB[:table].select_hash([:id, :foo], [:name, :bar]) # SELECT * FROM table
  # {[1, 3]=>['a', 'c'], [2, 4]=>['b', 'd'], ...}

When using this method, you must be sure that each expression has an alias that Sequel can determine. Usually you can do this by calling the as method on the expression and providing an alias.

560:       _select_hash(:to_hash, key_column, value_column)
561:     end

Returns a hash with key_column values as keys and an array of value_column values. Similar to to_hash_groups, but only selects the columns given.

  DB[:table].select_hash(:name, :id) # SELECT id, name FROM table
  # => {'a'=>[1, 4, ...], 'b'=>[2, ...], ...}

You can also provide an array of column names for either the key_column, the value column, or both:

  DB[:table].select_hash([:first, :middle], [:last, :id]) # SELECT * FROM table
  # {['a', 'b']=>[['c', 1], ['d', 2], ...], ...}

When using this method, you must be sure that each expression has an alias that Sequel can determine. Usually you can do this by calling the as method on the expression and providing an alias.

580:     end

Selects the column given (either as an argument or as a block), and returns an array of all values of that column in the dataset. If you give a block argument that returns an array with multiple entries, the contents of the resulting array are undefined. Raises an Error if called with both an argument and a block.

  DB[:table].select_map(:id) # SELECT id FROM table
  # => [3, 5, 8, 1, ...]

  DB[:table].select_map{id * 2} # SELECT (id * 2) FROM table
  # => [6, 10, 16, 2, ...]

You can also provide an array of column names:

  DB[:table].select_map([:id, :name]) # SELECT id, name FROM table
  # => [[1, 'A'], [2, 'B'], [3, 'C'], ...]

If you provide an array of expressions, you must be sure that each entry in the array has an alias that Sequel can determine. Usually you can do this by calling the as method on the expression and providing an alias.

602:     def select_map(column=nil, &block)
603:       _select_map(column, false, &block)
604:     end

The same as select_map, but in addition orders the array by the column.

  DB[:table].select_order_map(:id) # SELECT id FROM table ORDER BY id
  # => [1, 2, 3, 4, ...]

  DB[:table].select_order_map{id * 2} # SELECT (id * 2) FROM table ORDER BY (id * 2)
  # => [2, 4, 6, 8, ...]

You can also provide an array of column names:

  DB[:table].select_order_map([:id, :name]) # SELECT id, name FROM table ORDER BY id, name
  # => [[1, 'A'], [2, 'B'], [3, 'C'], ...]

If you provide an array of expressions, you must be sure that each entry in the array has an alias that Sequel can determine. Usually you can do this by calling the as method on the expression and providing an alias.

636:     def single_record
637:       clone(:limit=>1).each{|r| return r}
638:       nil
639:     end

Returns the first value of the first record in the dataset. Returns nil if dataset is empty. Users should generally use get instead of this method.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/actions.rb, line 644
644:     def single_value

Returns the sum for the given column/expression. Uses a virtual row block if no column is given.

  DB[:table].sum(:id) # SELECT sum(id) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 55
  DB[:table].sum{function(column)} # SELECT sum(function(column)) FROM table LIMIT 1
  # => 10

658:       aggregate_dataset.get{sum(column).as(:sum)}
659:     end

Returns a string in CSV format containing the dataset records. By default the CSV representation includes the column titles in the first line. You can turn that off by passing false as the include_column_titles argument.

This does not use a CSV library or handle quoting of values in any way. If any values in any of the rows could include commas or line endings, you shouldn‘t use this.

  puts DB[:table].to_csv # SELECT * FROM table
  # id,name
  # 1,Jim
  # 2,Bob

681:       csv
682:     end

Returns a hash with one column used as key and another used as value. If rows have duplicate values for the key column, the latter row(s) will overwrite the value of the previous row(s). If the value_column is not given or nil, uses the entire hash as the value.

  DB[:table].to_hash(:id, :name) # SELECT * FROM table
  # {1=>'Jim', 2=>'Bob', ...}

  DB[:table].to_hash(:id) # SELECT * FROM table
  # {1=>{:id=>1, :name=>'Jim'}, 2=>{:id=>2, :name=>'Bob'}, ...}

You can also provide an array of column names for either the key_column, the value column, or both:

Updates values for the dataset. The returned value is generally the number of rows updated, but that is adapter dependent. values should a hash where the keys are columns to set and values are the values to which to set the columns.

  DB[:table].update(:x=>nil) # UPDATE table SET x = NULL
  # => 10

Classes and Modules

Module Sequel::Dataset::DeprecateModifyHash

Constants

NOTIMPL_MSG = "This method must be overridden in Sequel adapters".freeze
ARRAY_ACCESS_ERROR_MSG = 'You cannot call Dataset#[] with an integer or with no arguments.'.freeze
ARG_BLOCK_ERROR_MSG = 'Must use either an argument or a block, not both'.freeze
IMPORT_ERROR_MSG = 'Using Sequel::Dataset#import an empty column array is not allowed'.freeze

Attributes

db  [R]  The database related to this dataset. This is the Database instance that will execute all of this dataset‘s queries.
opts  [R]  The hash of options for this dataset, keys are symbols.

Public Class methods

Constructs a new Dataset instance with an associated database and options. Datasets are usually constructed by invoking the Database#[] method:

  DB[:posts]

Sequel::Dataset is an abstract class that is not useful by itself. Each database adapter provides a subclass of Sequel::Dataset, and has the Database#dataset method return an instance of that subclass.

Splits a possible implicit alias in c, handling both SQL::AliasedExpressions and Symbols. Returns an array of two elements, with the first being the main expression, and the second being the alias.

Creates a unique table alias that hasn‘t already been used in the dataset. table_alias can be any type of object accepted by alias_symbol. The symbol returned will be the implicit alias in the argument, possibly appended with "_N" if the implicit alias has already been used, where N is an integer starting at 0 and increasing until an unused one is found.

You can provide a second addition array argument containing symbols that should not be considered valid table aliases. The current aliases for the FROM and JOIN tables are automatically included in this array.

  # => :t

  DB[:table].unused_table_alias(:table)

8 - Methods related to prepared statements or bound variables

On some adapters, these use native prepared statements and bound variables, on others support is emulated. For details, see the "Prepared Statements/Bound Variables" guide.

Constants

PREPARED_ARG_PLACEHOLDER = LiteralString.new('?').freeze

Public Instance methods

Set the bind variables to use for the call. If bind variables have already been set for this dataset, they are updated with the contents of bind_vars.

  DB[:table].filter(:id=>:$id).bind(:id=>1).call(:first)
  # SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ? LIMIT 1 -- (1)
  # => {:id=>1}

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/prepared_statements.rb, line 217
217:     def bind(bind_vars={})
218:       clone(:bind_vars=>@opts[:bind_vars] ? @opts[:bind_vars].merge(bind_vars) : bind_vars)
219:     end

For the given type (:select, :first, :insert, :insert_select, :update, or :delete), run the sql with the bind variables specified in the hash. values is a hash passed to insert or update (if one of those types is used), which may contain placeholders.

  DB[:table].filter(:id=>:$id).call(:first, :id=>1)
  # SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ? LIMIT 1 -- (1)
  # => {:id=>1}

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/prepared_statements.rb, line 228
228:     def call(type, bind_variables={}, *values, &block)
229:       prepare(type, nil, *values).call(bind_variables, &block)
230:     end

Prepare an SQL statement for later execution. Takes a type similar to call, and the name symbol of the prepared statement. While name defaults to nil, it should always be provided as a symbol for the name of the prepared statement, as some databases require that prepared statements have names.

This returns a clone of the dataset extended with PreparedStatementMethods, which you can call with the hash of bind variables to use. The prepared statement is also stored in the associated database, where it can be called by name. The following usage is identical:

  ps = DB[:table].filter(:name=>:$name).prepare(:first, :select_by_name)

  ps.call(:name=>'Blah')
  # SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = ? -- ('Blah')
  # => {:id=>1, :name=>'Blah'}

  DB.call(:select_by_name, :name=>'Blah') # Same thing

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/prepared_statements.rb, line 250
250:     def prepare(type, name=nil, *values)
251:       ps = to_prepared_statement(type, values)
252:       db.set_prepared_statement(name, ps) if name
253:       ps
254:     end

Protected Instance methods

Return a cloned copy of the current dataset extended with PreparedStatementMethods, setting the type and modify values.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/prepared_statements.rb, line 260
260:     def to_prepared_statement(type, values=nil)
261:       ps = bind
262:       ps.extend(PreparedStatementMethods)
263:       ps.orig_dataset = self
264:       ps.prepared_type = type
265:       ps.prepared_modify_values = values
266:       ps
267:     end

5 - Methods related to dataset graphing

Dataset graphing changes the dataset to yield hashes where keys are table name symbols and values are hashes representing the columns related to that table. All of these methods return modified copies of the receiver.

Public Instance methods

Adds the given graph aliases to the list of graph aliases to use, unlike set_graph_aliases, which replaces the list (the equivalent of select_more when graphing). See set_graph_aliases.

  DB[:table].add_graph_aliases(:some_alias=>[:table, :column])
  # SELECT ..., table.column AS some_alias

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/graph.rb, line 16
16:     def add_graph_aliases(graph_aliases)
17:       unless ga = opts[:graph_aliases]
18:         unless opts[:graph] && (ga = opts[:graph][:column_aliases])
19:           Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Calling Dataset#add_graph_aliases before #graph or #set_graph_aliases', 'Please call it after #graph or #set_graph_aliases')
20:         end
21:       end
22:       columns, graph_aliases = graph_alias_columns(graph_aliases)
23:       select_more(*columns).clone(:graph_aliases => ga.merge(graph_aliases))
24:     end

Similar to Dataset#join_table, but uses unambiguous aliases for selected columns and keeps metadata about the aliases for use in other methods.

Arguments:

dataset :Can be a symbol (specifying a table), another dataset, or an object that responds to dataset and returns a symbol or a dataset
join_conditions :Any condition(s) allowed by join_table.
block :A block that is passed to join_table.

Options:

:from_self_alias :The alias to use when the receiver is not a graphed dataset but it contains multiple FROM tables or a JOIN. In this case, the receiver is wrapped in a from_self before graphing, and this option determines the alias to use.
:implicit_qualifier :The qualifier of implicit conditions, see join_table.
:join_type :The type of join to use (passed to join_table). Defaults to :left_outer.
:qualify:The type of qualification to do, see join_table.
:select :An array of columns to select. When not used, selects all columns in the given dataset. When set to false, selects no columns and is like simply joining the tables, though graph keeps some metadata about the join that makes it important to use graph instead of join_table.
:table_alias :The alias to use for the table. If not specified, doesn‘t alias the table. You will get an error if the the alias (or table) name is used more than once.

This allows you to manually specify the graph aliases to use when using graph. You can use it to only select certain columns, and have those columns mapped to specific aliases in the result set. This is the equivalent of select for a graphed dataset, and must be used instead of select whenever graphing is used.

graph_aliases :Should be a hash with keys being symbols of column aliases, and values being either symbols or arrays with one to three elements. If the value is a symbol, it is assumed to be the same as a one element array containing that symbol. The first element of the array should be the table alias symbol. The second should be the actual column name symbol. If the array only has a single element the column name symbol will be assumed to be the same as the corresponding hash key. If the array has a third element, it is used as the value returned, instead of table_alias.column_name.

4 - Methods that describe what the dataset supports

These methods all return booleans, with most describing whether or not the dataset supports a feature.

Public Instance methods

Whether this dataset will provide accurate number of rows matched for delete and update statements. Accurate in this case is the number of rows matched by the dataset‘s filter.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 24
24:     def provides_accurate_rows_matched?
25:       true
26:     end

Whether this dataset quotes identifiers.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 10
10:     def quote_identifiers?
11:       if defined?(@quote_identifiers)
12:         @quote_identifiers

15:       else
16:         Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Calling Dataset#quote_identifiers? for a dataset where the database doesn\'t implement quote_identifiers? will raise a NoMethodError in Sequel 4.')
17:         @quote_identifiers = false
18:       end
19:     end

Whether you must use a column alias list for recursive CTEs (false by default).

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 30
30:     def recursive_cte_requires_column_aliases?
31:       false
32:     end

Whether type specifiers are required for prepared statement/bound variable argument placeholders (i.e. :bv__integer)

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 42
42:     def requires_placeholder_type_specifiers?
43:       false
44:     end

Whether the dataset requires SQL standard datetimes (false by default, as most allow strings with ISO 8601 format).

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 36
36:     def requires_sql_standard_datetimes?
37:       false
38:     end

Whether the dataset supports common table expressions (the WITH clause). If given, type can be :select, :insert, :update, or :delete, in which case it determines whether WITH is supported for the respective statement type.

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 49
49:     def supports_cte?(type=:select)
50:       send("#{type}_clause_methods""#{type}_clause_methods").include?("#{type}_with_sql""#{type}_with_sql")
51:     end

Whether the dataset supports common table expressions (the WITH clause) in subqueries. If false, applies the WITH clause to the main query, which can cause issues if multiple WITH clauses use the same name.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 56
56:     def supports_cte_in_subqueries?
57:       false
58:     end

Whether the dataset supports or can emulate the DISTINCT ON clause, false by default.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 61
61:     def supports_distinct_on?
62:       false
63:     end

Whether the dataset supports CUBE with GROUP BY.

71:     def supports_group_rollup?
72:       false
73:     end

Whether this dataset supports the insert_select method for returning all columns values directly from an insert query.

[Source]

    # File lib/sequel/dataset/features.rb, line 77
77:     def supports_insert_select?
78:       supports_returning?(:insert)
79:     end

Public Class methods

Given a type (e.g. select) and an array of clauses, return an array of methods to call to build the SQL string.

[Source]

     # File lib/sequel/dataset/sql.rb, line 179
179:     def self.clause_methods(type, clauses)
180:       clauses.map{|clause| "#{type}_#{clause}_sql""#{type}_#{clause}_sql"}.freeze
181:     end

For each of the methods in the given array, define a method with that name that returns a string with the SQL fragment that the related *_append method would add.

Do not call this method with untrusted input, as that can result in arbitrary code execution.

Split the schema information from the table, returning two strings, one for the schema and one for the table. The returned schema may be nil, but the table will always have a string value.

Note that this function does not handle tables with more than one level of qualification (e.g. database.schema.table on Microsoft SQL Server).

Makes each yield arrays of rows, with each array containing the rows for a given result set. Does not work with graphing. So you can submit SQL with multiple statements and easily determine which statement returned which results.

Modifies the row_proc of the returned dataset so that it still works as expected (running on the hashes instead of on the arrays of hashes). If you modify the row_proc afterward, note that it will receive an array of hashes instead of a hash.

Splits table_name into an array of strings.
