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 “Schema Modification” guide.

Instance Method Details

#add_column(name, type, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

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

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

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 339

def add_column(name, type, opts = 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 CreateTableGenerator#constraint.

add_constraint(:valid_name, Sequel.like(:name, 'A%'))
# ADD CONSTRAINT valid_name CHECK (name LIKE 'A%' ESCAPE '\')
add_constraint({:name=>:valid_name, :deferrable=>true}, Sequel.like(:name, 'A%'))
# ADD CONSTRAINT valid_name CHECK (name LIKE 'A%' ESCAPE '\') DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED

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

def add_constraint(name, *args, &block)
  opts = name.is_a?(Hash) ? name : {:name=>name}
  @operations << opts.merge(:op=>:add_constraint, :type=>:check, :check=>block || args)
end

#add_foreign_key(name, table, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Add a foreign key with the given name and referencing the given table to the DDL for the table. See CreateTableGenerator#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

PostgreSQL specific options:

:not_valid

Set to true to add the constraint with the NOT VALID syntax. This makes it so that future inserts must respect referential integrity, but allows the constraint to be added even if existing column values reference rows that do not exist. After all the existing data has been cleaned up, validate_constraint can be used to mark the constraint as valid. Note that this option only makes sense when using an array of columns.

  add_column(name, Integer, {:table=>table}.merge!(opts))
end

#add_full_text_index(columns, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

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

# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 394

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

#add_index(columns, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

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

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

def add_index(columns, opts = OPTS)

end

#add_primary_key(name, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Add a primary key to the DDL for the table. See CreateTableGenerator#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)

  opts = @db.serial_primary_key_options.merge(opts)
  add_column(name, opts.delete(:type), opts)
end

#add_spatial_index(columns, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

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

421
422
 
# File 'lib/sequel/database/schema_generator.rb', line 420

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

#add_unique_constraint(columns, opts = 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)

Supports the same :deferrable option as CreateTableGenerator#column.

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

#drop_column(name, opts = 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

Options:

:cascade

CASCADE the operation, dropping other objects that depend on the dropped column.

PostgreSQL specific options:

:if_exists

Use IF EXISTS, so no error is raised if the column does not exist.

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

#drop_constraint(name, opts = 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

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

#drop_foreign_key(name, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Remove a foreign key and the associated column from the DDL for the table. General options:

:name

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

NOTE: If you want to drop only the foreign key constraint but keep the column, use the composite key syntax even if it is only one column.

drop_foreign_key(:artist_id) # DROP CONSTRAINT table_artist_id_fkey, DROP COLUMN artist_id
drop_foreign_key([:name]) # DROP CONSTRAINT table_name_fkey

  drop_column(name) unless name.is_a?(Array)
end

#drop_index(columns, options = OPTS) ⇒ 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

#rename_column(name, new_name, opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

rename_column(:name, :artist_name) # RENAME COLUMN name TO artist_name

end

#set_column_allow_null(name, allow_null = true) ⇒ Object

Set a given column as allowing NULL values.

set_column_allow_null(:artist_name) # ALTER COLUMN artist_name DROP NOT NULL

On MySQL, make sure to use a symbol for the name of the column, as otherwise you can lose the default and type for the column.

def set_column_allow_null(name, allow_null=true)
  @operations << {:op => :set_column_null, :name => name, :null => allow_null}
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'

To remove an existing default value, use nil as the value:

set_column_default(:artist_name, nil) # ALTER COLUMN artist_name SET DEFAULT NULL

On MySQL, make sure to use a symbol for the name of the column, as otherwise you can lose the type and NULL/NOT NULL setting for the column.

set_column_type(:artist_name, 'char(10)') # ALTER COLUMN artist_name TYPE char(10)

PostgreSQL specific options:

:using

Add a USING clause that specifies how to convert existing values to new values.

On MySQL, make sure to use a symbol for the name of the column, as otherwise you can lose the default and NULL/NOT NULL setting for the column.
