Defined in:
lib/active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter.rb

Overview

The PostgreSQL adapter works both with the native C (ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/) and the pure Ruby (available both as gem and from rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=234&release_id=1944) drivers.

Options:

  • :host - Defaults to “localhost”.

  • :port - Defaults to 5432.

  • :username - Defaults to nothing.

  • :password - Defaults to nothing.

  • :database - The name of the database. No default, must be provided.

  • :schema_search_path - An optional schema search path for the connection given as a string of comma-separated schema names. This is backward-compatible with the :schema_order option.

  • :encoding - An optional client encoding that is used in a SET client_encoding TO <encoding> call on the connection.

  • :min_messages - An optional client min messages that is used in a SET client_min_messages TO <min_messages> call on the connection.

  • :allow_concurrency - If true, use async query methods so Ruby threads don’t deadlock; otherwise, use blocking query methods.

#add_order_by_for_association_limiting!(sql, options) ⇒ Object

Returns an ORDER BY clause for the passed order option.

PostgreSQL does not allow arbitrary ordering when using DISTINCT ON, so we work around this by wrapping the sql string as a sub-select and ordering in that query.
