Symbol

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

Public Instance Methods

*(ce=(arg=false;nil)) click to toggle source
# File lib/sequel/deprecated_core_extensions.rb, line 102
def *(ce=(arg=false;nil))
  if arg == false
    Sequel::Deprecation.deprecate('Symbol#*', "Please use Sequel.expr(symbol).* instead, or Sequel.extension(:core_extensions) to continue using it")
    Sequel::SQL::ColumnAll.new(self)
  else
    super(ce)
  end
end
[](*args) click to toggle source

Create an SQL Function with the receiver as the function name and the given arguments.

# File lib/sequel/extensions/ruby18_symbol_extensions.rb, line 19
def [](*args)
  Sequel::SQL::Function.new(self, *args)
end
identifier() click to toggle source

Returns receiver wrapped in an Sequel::SQL::Identifier. Usually used to prevent splitting the symbol.

:a__b # SQL: "a"."b"
:a__b.identifier # SQL: "a__b"
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 220
def identifier
  Sequel::SQL::Identifier.new(self)
end
sql_function(*args) click to toggle source

Returns a Sequel::SQL::Function with this as the function name, and the given arguments. This is aliased as Symbol#[] if the RUBY_VERSION is less than 1.9.0. Ruby 1.9 defines Symbol#[], and Sequel doesn't override methods defined by ruby itself.

:now.sql_function # SQL: now()
:sum.sql_function(:a) # SQL: sum(a)
:concat.sql_function(:a, :b) # SQL: concat(a, b)
# File lib/sequel/extensions/core_extensions.rb, line 232
def sql_function(*args)
  Sequel::SQL::Function.new(self, *args)
end
