Overview

Card::Query is for finding implicit lists (or counts of lists) of cards.

Search and Set cards use Card::Query to query the database, and it's also frequently used directly in code.

Query "statements" (objects, really) are made in WQL (Wagn Query Language). Because WQL is used by Deckers, the primary language documentation is on wagn.org. (http://wagn.org/WQL_Syntax). Note that the examples there are in JSON, like Search card content, but statements in Card::Query are in ruby form.

In Wagn's current form, Card::Query generates and executes SQL statements. However, the SQL generation is largely (not yet fully) separated from the WQL statement interpretation.

The most common way to use Card::Query is as follows: list_of_cards = Card::Query.run(statement)

This is equivalent to: query = Card::Query.new(statement) list_of_cards = query.run

Upon initiation, the query is interpreted, and the following key objects are populated:

  • @join - an Array of Card::Query::Join objects
  • @conditions - an Array of conditions
  • @mod - a Hash of other query-altering keys
  • @subqueries - a list of other queries nested within this one

Each condition is either a SQL-ready string (boo) or an Array in this form: [ field_string_or_sym, Card::Value::Query object ]

Constructor Details

#initialize(statement, comment = nil) ⇒ Query

By default a query returns card objects. This is accomplished by returning a card identifier from SQL and then hooking into our caching system (see Card::Fetch)
