Overview

A Dataset represents a view of a the data in a database, constrained by specific parameters such as filtering conditions, order, etc. Datasets can be used to create, retrieve, update and delete records.

Query results are always retrieved on demand, so a dataset can be kept around and reused indefinitely:

my_posts = DB[:posts].filter(:author => 'david') # no records are retrieved
p my_posts.all # records are now retrieved
...
p my_posts.all # records are retrieved again

In order to provide this functionality, dataset methods such as where, select, order, etc. return modified copies of the dataset, so you can use different datasets to access data:

posts = DB[:posts]
davids_posts = posts.filter(:author => 'david')
old_posts = posts.filter('stamp < ?', Date.today - 7)

Datasets are Enumerable objects, so they can be manipulated using any of the Enumerable methods, such as map, inject, etc.

The Dataset Adapter Interface

Each adapter should define its own dataset class as a descendant of Sequel::Dataset. The following methods should be overridden by the adapter Dataset class (each method with the stock implementation):

# Iterate over the results of the SQL query and call the supplied
# block with each record (as a hash).
def fetch_rows(sql, &block)
  @db.synchronize do
    r = @db.execute(sql)
    r.each(&block)
  end
end

# Insert records.
def insert(*values)
  @db.synchronize do
    @db.execute(insert_sql(*values)).last_insert_id
  end
end

# Update records.
def update(*args, &block)
  @db.synchronize do
    @db.execute(update_sql(*args, &block)).affected_rows
  end
end

# Delete records.
def delete(opts = nil)
  @db.synchronize do
    @db.execute(delete_sql(opts)).affected_rows
  end
end

Methods added via metaprogramming

Some methods are added via metaprogramming:

  • ! methods - These methods are the same as their non-! counterparts, but they modify the receiver instead of returning a modified copy of the dataset.

  • inner_join, full_outer_join, right_outer_join, left_outer_join - This methods are shortcuts to join_table with the join type already specified.

Methods included from Enumerable

#send_each

Constructor Details

#initialize(db, opts = nil) ⇒ Dataset

Constructs a new instance of a dataset with an associated database and options. Datasets are usually constructed by invoking Database methods:

DB[:posts]

Or:

DB.dataset # the returned dataset is blank

Sequel::Dataset is an abstract class that is not useful by itself. Each database adaptor should provide a descendant class of Sequel::Dataset.

#filter(*cond, &block) ⇒ Object Also known as: where

Returns a copy of the dataset with the given conditions imposed upon it.

If the query has been grouped, then the conditions are imposed in the HAVING clause. If not, then they are imposed in the WHERE clause. Filter

filter accepts the following argument types:

  • Hash - list of equality expressions

  • Array - depends:

    • If first member is a string, assumes the rest of the arguments are parameters and interpolates them into the string.

    • If all members are arrays of length two, treats the same way as a hash, except it allows for duplicate keys to be specified.

  • String - taken literally

  • Symbol - taken as a boolean column argument (e.g. WHERE active)

  • Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression - an existing condition expression, probably created using the Sequel blockless filter DSL.

filter also takes a block, which should return one of the above argument types, and is treated the same way. If both a block and regular argument are provided, they get ANDed together.

Examples:

dataset.filter(:id => 3).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (id = 3)"
dataset.filter('price < ?', 100).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE price < 100"
dataset.filter([[:id, (1,2,3)], [:id, 0..10]]).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((id IN (1, 2, 3)) AND ((id >= 0) AND (id <= 10)))"
dataset.filter('price < 100').sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE price < 100"
dataset.filter(:active).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE :active
dataset.filter(:price < 100).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE (price < 100)"

Multiple filter calls can be chained for scoping:

software = dataset.filter(:category => 'software')
software.filter(price < 100).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM items WHERE ((category = 'software') AND (price < 100))"

See doc/dataset_filters.rdoc for more examples and details.

end

#first(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns the first record in the dataset. If a numeric argument is given, it is interpreted as a limit, and then returns all matching records up to that limit. If no argument is passed, it returns the first matching record. If any other type of argument(s) is passed, it is given to filter and the first matching record is returned. If a block is given, it is used to filter the dataset before returning anything.

Examples:

ds.first => {:id=>7}
ds.first(2) => [{:id=>6}, {:id=>4}]
ds.order(:id).first(2) => [{:id=>1}, {:id=>2}]
ds.first(:id=>2) => {:id=>2}
ds.first("id = 3") => {:id=>3}
ds.first("id = ?", 4) => {:id=>4}
ds.first{:id > 2} => {:id=>5}
ds.order(:id).first{:id > 2} => {:id=>3}
ds.first{:id > 2} => {:id=>5}

#graph(dataset, join_conditions = nil, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Allows you to join multiple datasets/tables and have the result set split into component tables.

This differs from the usual usage of join, which returns the result set as a single hash. For example:

# CREATE TABLE artists (id INTEGER, name TEXT);
# CREATE TABLE albums (id INTEGER, name TEXT, artist_id INTEGER);
DB[:artists].left_outer_join(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).first
=> {:id=>(albums.id||artists.id), :name=>(albums.name||artist.names), :artist_id=>albums.artist_id}
DB[:artists].graph(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).first
=> {:artists=>{:id=>artists.id, :name=>artists.name}, :albums=>{:id=>albums.id, :name=>albums.name, :artist_id=>albums.artist_id}}

Using a join such as left_outer_join, the attribute names that are shared between the tables are combined in the single return hash. You can get around that by using .select with correct aliases for all of the columns, but it is simpler to use graph and have the result set split for you. In addition, graph respects any row_proc or transform attributes of the current dataset and the datasets you use with graph.

If you are graphing a table and all columns for that table are nil, this indicates that no matching rows existed in the table, so graph will return nil instead of a hash with all nil values:

# If the artist doesn't have any albums
DB[:artists].graph(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).first
=> {:artists=>{:id=>artists.id, :name=>artists.name}, :albums=>nil}

Arguments:

  • dataset - Can be a symbol (specifying a table), another dataset, or an object that responds to .dataset and yields a symbol or a dataset

  • join_conditions - Any condition(s) allowed by join_table.

  • options - A hash of graph options. The following options are currently used:

    • :table_alias - The alias to use for the table. If not specified, doesn’t alias the table. You will get an error if the the alias (or table) name is used more than once.

    • :join_type - The type of join to use (passed to join_table). Defaults to :left_outer.

    • :select - An array of columns to select. When not used, selects all columns in the given dataset. When set to false, selects no columns and is like simply joining the tables, though graph keeps some metadata about join that makes it important to use graph instead of join.

  • block - A block that is passed to join_table.

#join_table(type, table, expr = nil, table_alias = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns a joined dataset. Uses the following arguments:

  • type - The type of join to do (:inner, :left_outer, :right_outer, :full)

  • table - Depends on type:

    • Dataset - a subselect is performed with an alias of tN for some value of N

    • Model (or anything responding to :table_name) - table.table_name

    • String, Symbol: table

  • expr - specifies conditions, depends on type:

    • Hash, Array with all two pairs - Assumes key (1st arg) is column of joined table (unless already qualified), and value (2nd arg) is column of the last joined or primary table. To specify multiple conditions on a single joined table column, you must use an array. Uses a JOIN with an ON clause.

    • Array - If all members of the array are symbols, considers them as columns and uses a JOIN with a USING clause. Most databases will remove duplicate columns from the result set if this is used.

    • nil - If a block is not given, doesn’t use ON or USING, so the JOIN should be a NATURAL or CROSS join. If a block is given, uses a ON clause based on the block, see below.

    • Everything else - pretty much the same as a using the argument in a call to filter, so strings are considered literal, symbols specify boolean columns, and blockless filter expressions can be used. Uses a JOIN with an ON clause.

  • table_alias - the name of the table’s alias when joining, necessary for joining to the same table more than once. No alias is used by default.

  • block - The block argument should only be given if a JOIN with an ON clause is used, in which case it yields the table alias/name for the table currently being joined, the table alias/name for the last joined (or first table), and an array of previous SQL::JoinClause.

#multi_insert(*args) ⇒ Object Also known as: import

Inserts multiple records into the associated table. This method can be to efficiently insert a large amounts of records into a table. Inserts are automatically wrapped in a transaction.

This method should be called with a columns array and an array of value arrays:

dataset.multi_insert([:x, :y], [[1, 2], [3, 4]])

This method can also be called with an array of hashes:

dataset.multi_insert({:x => 1}, {:x => 2})

Be aware that all hashes should have the same keys if you use this calling method, otherwise some columns could be missed or set to null instead of to default values.

The method also accepts a :slice or :commit_every option that specifies the number of records to insert per transaction. This is useful especially when inserting a large number of records, e.g.:

# this will commit every 50 records
dataset.multi_insert(lots_of_records, :slice => 50)

  order :z.desc
end

Which is the same as:

#quoted_identifier(name) ⇒ Object

This method quotes the given name with the SQL standard double quote. It uppercases the name given to conform with the SQL standard. This should be overridden by subclasses to provide quoting not matching the SQL standard, such as backtick (used by MySQL and SQLite), or where lowercase is the default for unquoted identifiers (PostgreSQL).

If you are using a database such as Oracle that defaults to uppercase but you are using lower case identifiers, you should override this method to not upcase the name for those identifiers.

#set_graph_aliases(graph_aliases) ⇒ Object

This allows you to manually specify the graph aliases to use when using graph. You can use it to only select certain columns, and have those columns mapped to specific aliases in the result set. This is the equivalent of .select for a graphed dataset, and must be used instead of .select whenever graphing is used. Example:

DB[:artists].graph(:albums, :artist_id=>:id).set_graph_aliases(:artist_name=>[:artists, :name], :album_name=>[:albums, :name]).first
=> {:artists=>{:name=>artists.name}, :albums=>{:name=>albums.name}}

Arguments:

  • graph_aliases - Should be a hash with keys being symbols of column aliases, and values being arrays with two symbol elements. The first element of the array should be the table alias, and the second should be the actual column name.

    identifier
  end
  ds = select(*cols)
  ds.opts[:graph_aliases] = graph_aliases
  ds
end

#set_model(key, *args) ⇒ Object

Associates or disassociates the dataset with a model(s). If nil is specified, the dataset is turned into a naked dataset and returns records as hashes. If a model class specified, the dataset is modified to return records as instances of the model class, e.g:

class MyModel
  def initialize(values)
    @values = values
    ...
  end
end

dataset.set_model(MyModel)

You can also provide additional arguments to be passed to the model’s initialize method:

class MyModel
  def initialize(values, options)
    @values = values
    ...
  end
end

dataset.set_model(MyModel, :allow_delete => false)

The dataset can be made polymorphic by specifying a column name as the polymorphic key and a hash mapping column values to model classes.

dataset.set_model(:kind, {1 => Person, 2 => Business})

You can also set a default model class to fall back on by specifying a class corresponding to nil:

dataset.set_model(:kind, {nil => DefaultClass, 1 => Person, 2 => Business})

To make sure that there is always a default model class, the hash provided should have a default value. To make the dataset map string values to model classes, and keep a good default, try:

dataset.set_model(:kind, Hash.new{|h,k| h[k] = (k.constantize rescue DefaultClass)})

Returns a hash with one column used as key and another used as value. If rows have duplicate values for the key column, the latter row(s) will overwrite the value of the previous row(s). If the value_column is not given or nil, uses the entire hash as the value.

def to_hash(key_column, value_column = nil)
  inject({}) do |m, r|
    m[r[key_column]] = value_column ? r[value_column] : r
    m
  end
end

#transform(t) ⇒ Object

Sets a value transform which is used to convert values loaded and saved to/from the database. The transform should be supplied as a hash. Each value in the hash should be an array containing two proc objects - one for transforming loaded values, and one for transforming saved values. The following example demonstrates how to store Ruby objects in a dataset using Marshal serialization:

dataset.transform(:obj => [
  proc {|v| Marshal.load(v)},
  proc {|v| Marshal.dump(v)}
])

dataset.insert_sql(:obj => 1234) #=>
"INSERT INTO items (obj) VALUES ('\004\bi\002\322\004')"

Another form of using transform is by specifying stock transforms:

dataset.transform(:obj => :marshal)

The currently supported stock transforms are :marshal and :yaml.

#union(dataset, all = false) ⇒ Object

Adds a UNION clause using a second dataset object. If all is true the clause used is UNION ALL, which may return duplicate rows.

DB[:items].union(DB[:other_items]).sql
#=> "SELECT * FROM items UNION SELECT * FROM other_items"

#update(values, opts = nil) ⇒ Object

Updates values for the dataset. Adapters should override this method.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

# File 'lib/sequel_core/dataset.rb', line 432

def update(values, opts = nil)
  raise NotImplementedError, NOTIMPL_MSG
end

#update_sql(values = {}, opts = nil) ⇒ Object

Formats an UPDATE statement using the given values.

dataset.update_sql(:price => 100, :category => 'software') #=>
  "UPDATE items SET price = 100, category = 'software'"

Accepts a block, but such usage is discouraged.

Raises an error if the dataset is grouped or includes more than one table.
