Overview

Schema::AlterTableGenerator is an internal class that the user is not expected to instantiate directly. Instances are created by Database#alter_table. It is used to specify table alteration parameters. It takes a Database object and a block of operations to perform on the table, and gives the Database an array of table altering operations, which the database uses to alter a table’s description.

For more information on Sequel’s support for schema modification, see the “Migrations and Schema Modification” guide.

Constructor Details

#initialize(db, &block) ⇒ AlterTableGenerator

Instance Method Details

#add_column(name, type, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a column with the given name, type, and opts to the DDL for the table. See Generator#column for the available options.

add_column(:name, String) # ADD COLUMN name varchar(255)



284
285
286
 
# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 284

def add_column(name, type, opts = {})
  @operations << {:op => :add_column, :name => name, :type => type}.merge(opts)
end

#add_constraint(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Add a constraint with the given name and args to the DDL for the table. See Generator#constraint.

add_constraint(:valid_name, :name.like('A%'))
# ADD CONSTRAINT valid_name CHECK (name LIKE 'A%')

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 293

def add_constraint(name, *args, &block)
  @operations << {:op => :add_constraint, :name => name, :type => :check, :check => block || args}
end

#add_foreign_key(name, table, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a foreign key with the given name and referencing the given table to the DDL for the table. See Generator#column for the available options.

You can also pass an array of column names for creating composite foreign keys. In this case, it will assume the columns exist and will only add the constraint. You can provide a :name option to name the constraint.

NOTE: If you need to add a foreign key constraint to a single existing column use the composite key syntax even if it is only one column.

add_foreign_key(:artist_id, :table) # ADD COLUMN artist_id integer REFERENCES table
add_foreign_key([:name], :table) # ADD FOREIGN KEY (name) REFERENCES table

def add_foreign_key(name, table, opts = {})
  return add_composite_foreign_key(name, table, opts) if name.is_a?(Array)
  add_column(name, Integer, {:table=>table}.merge(opts))
end

#add_full_text_index(columns, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a full text index on the given columns to the DDL for the table. See Generator#index for available options.



324
325
326
 
# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 324

def add_full_text_index(columns, opts = {})
  add_index(columns, {:type=>:full_text}.merge(opts))
end

#add_index(columns, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add an index on the given columns to the DDL for the table. See Generator#index for available options.

add_index(:artist_id) # CREATE INDEX table_artist_id_index ON table (artist_id)

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 332

def add_index(columns, opts = {})
  @operations << {:op => :add_index, :columns => Array(columns)}.merge(opts)
end

#add_primary_key(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a primary key to the DDL for the table. See Generator#column for the available options. Like add_foreign_key, if you specify the column name as an array, it just creates a constraint:

add_primary_key(:id) # ADD COLUMN id serial PRIMARY KEY
add_primary_key([:artist_id, :name]) # ADD PRIMARY KEY (artist_id, name)

  return add_composite_primary_key(name, opts) if name.is_a?(Array)
  opts = @db.serial_primary_key_options.merge(opts)
  add_column(name, opts.delete(:type), opts)
end

#add_spatial_index(columns, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a spatial index on the given columns to the DDL for the table. See Generator#index for available options.

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 350

def add_spatial_index(columns, opts = {})
  add_index(columns, {:type=>:spatial}.merge(opts))
end

#add_unique_constraint(columns, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Add a unique constraint to the given column(s)

add_unique_constraint(:name) # ADD UNIQUE (name)
add_unique_constraint(:name, :name=>:unique_name) # ADD CONSTRAINT unique_name UNIQUE (name)

def add_unique_constraint(columns, opts = {})
  @operations << {:op => :add_constraint, :type => :unique, :columns => Array(columns)}.merge(opts)
end

#drop_column(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Remove a column from the DDL for the table.

drop_column(:artist_id) # DROP COLUMN artist_id
drop_column(:artist_id, :cascade=>true) # DROP COLUMN artist_id CASCADE

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 358

def drop_column(name, opts={})
  @operations << {:op => :drop_column, :name => name}.merge(opts)
end

#drop_constraint(name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Remove a constraint from the DDL for the table. MySQL/SQLite specific options:

:type

Set the type of constraint to drop, either :primary_key, :foreign_key, or :unique.

drop_constraint(:unique_name) # DROP CONSTRAINT unique_name
drop_constraint(:unique_name, :cascade=>true) # DROP CONSTRAINT unique_name CASCADE

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 369

def drop_constraint(name, opts={})
  @operations << {:op => :drop_constraint, :name => name}.merge(opts)
end

#drop_index(columns, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Remove an index from the DDL for the table. General options:

:name

The name of the index to drop. If not given, uses the same name that would be used by add_index with the same columns.

PostgreSQL specific options:

:cascade

Cascade the index drop to dependent objects.

:concurrently

Drop the index using CONCURRENTLY, which doesn’t block operations on the table. Supported in PostgreSQL 9.2+.

:if_exists

Only drop the index if it already exists.

drop_index(:artist_id) # DROP INDEX table_artist_id_index
drop_index([:a, :b]) # DROP INDEX table_a_b_index
drop_index([:a, :b], :name=>:foo) # DROP INDEX foo

end

#set_column_default(name, default) ⇒ Object

Modify a column’s default value in the DDL for the table.

set_column_default(:artist_name, 'a') # ALTER COLUMN artist_name SET DEFAULT 'a'
