Module: Sequel::SQL::ComplexExpressionMethods

Includes:
BooleanMethods, InequalityMethods, NumericMethods, StringMethods
Included in:
LiteralString, GenericExpressionMethods
Defined in:
lib/sequel_core/sql.rb

Overview

This module includes other Sequel::SQL::*Methods modules and is included in other classes that are could be either booleans, strings, or numbers. It also adds three methods so that can specify behavior in case one of the operator methods has been overridden (such as Symbol#/).

For example, if Symbol#/ is overridden to produce a string (for example, to make file system path creation easier), the following code will not do what you want:

:price/10 > 100

In that case, you need to do the following:

:price.sql_number/10 > 100

Instance Method Details

#extract(datetime_part) ⇒ Object

Extract a datetime_part (e.g. year, month) from self:

:date.extract(:year) # SQL:  extract(year FROM date)

Also has the benefit of returning the result as a NumericExpression instead of a generic ComplexExpression.
