class Sequel::SQL::ComplexExpression
Represents a SQL
expression, with a given operator and one or more attributes (which may also be ComplexExpressions, forming a tree). This class is the backbone of Sequel's ruby expression DSL.
This is an abstract class that is not that useful by itself. The subclasses BooleanExpression
, NumericExpression
, and StringExpression
define the behavior of the DSL via operators.
Constants
- ASSOCIATIVE_OPERATORS
Operator symbols that are associative
- BITWISE_OPERATORS
Bitwise mathematical operators used in
BitwiseMethods
- BOOLEAN_OPERATOR_METHODS
Hash
of ruby operator symbols toSQL
operators, used inBooleanMethods
- CONSTANT_INVERSIONS
A hash of the opposite for each constant, used for inverting constants.
- CUSTOM_EXPRESSIONS
Custom expressions that may have different syntax on different databases
- EQUALITY_OPERATORS
Operators that check for equality
- INEQUALITY_OPERATORS
Inequality operators used in
InequalityMethods
- IN_OPERATORS
Operators that use IN/NOT IN for inclusion/exclusion
- IS_OPERATORS
Operators that use IS, used for special casing to override literal true/false values
- LIKE_OPERATORS
Operators that do pattern matching via LIKE
- MATHEMATICAL_OPERATORS
Standard mathematical operators used in
NumericMethods
- N_ARITY_OPERATORS
Operator symbols that take one or more arguments
- ONE_ARITY_OPERATORS
Operator symbols that take only a single argument
- OPERTATOR_INVERSIONS
A hash of the opposite for each operator symbol, used for inverting objects.
- REGEXP_OPERATORS
Operators that do pattern matching via regular expressions
- TWO_ARITY_OPERATORS
Operator symbols that take exactly two arguments
Attributes
An array of args for this object
The operator symbol for this object
Public Class Methods
Set the operator symbol and arguments for this object to the ones given. Convert all args that are hashes or arrays of two element arrays to BooleanExpressions
, other than the second arg for an IN/NOT IN operator. Raise an Error
if the operator doesn't allow boolean input and a boolean argument is given. Raise an Error
if the wrong number of arguments for a given operator is used.

Public Instance Methods
Return a BooleanExpression
with the same op and args.
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb 1272 def sql_boolean 1273 BooleanExpression.new(op, *args) 1274 end
Return a NumericExpression
with the same op and args.
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb 1277 def sql_number 1278 NumericExpression.new(op, *args) 1279 end
Return a StringExpression
with the same op and args.
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb 1282 def sql_string 1283 StringExpression.new(op, *args) 1284 end
Private Instance Methods
ComplexExpression's initializer uses a splat for the operator arguments.
