Constructor Details

#initialize(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Database

Constructs a new instance of a database connection with the specified options hash.

Accepts the following options:

:after_connect

A callable object called after each new connection is made, with the connection object (and server argument if the callable accepts 2 arguments), useful for customizations that you want to apply to all connections.

:before_preconnect

Callable that runs after extensions from :preconnect_extensions are loaded, but before any connections are created.

:cache_schema

Whether schema should be cached for this Database instance

:check_string_typecast_bytesize

Whether to check the bytesize of strings before typecasting.

:connect_sqls

An array of sql strings to execute on each new connection, after :after_connect runs.

:connect_opts_proc

Callable object for modifying options hash used when connecting, designed for cases where the option values (e.g. password) are automatically rotated on a regular basis without involvement from the application using Sequel.

:default_string_column_size

The default size of string columns, 255 by default.

:extensions

Extensions to load into this Database instance. Can be a symbol, array of symbols, or string with extensions separated by columns. These extensions are loaded after connections are made by the :preconnect option.

:keep_reference

Whether to keep a reference to this instance in Sequel::DATABASES, true by default.

:logger

A specific logger to use.

:loggers

An array of loggers to use.

:log_connection_info

Whether connection information should be logged when logging queries.

:log_warn_duration

The number of elapsed seconds after which queries should be logged at warn level.

:name

A name to use for the Database object, displayed in PoolTimeout.

:preconnect

Automatically create the maximum number of connections, so that they don’t need to be created as needed. This is useful when connecting takes a long time and you want to avoid possible latency during runtime. Set to :concurrently to create the connections in separate threads. Otherwise they’ll be created sequentially.

:preconnect_extensions

Similar to the :extensions option, but loads the extensions before the connections are made by the :preconnect option.

:quote_identifiers

Whether to quote identifiers.

:servers

A hash specifying a server/shard specific options, keyed by shard symbol.

:single_threaded

Whether to use a single-threaded connection pool.

:sql_log_level

Method to use to log SQL to a logger, :info by default.

For sharded connection pools, :after_connect and :connect_sqls can be specified per-shard.

All options given are also passed to the connection pool. Additional options respected by the connection pool are :max_connections, :pool_timeout, :servers, and :servers_hash. See the connection pool documentation for details.

# in file sequel/adapters/shared/mydb.rb
module Sequel::MyDB
  Sequel::Database.set_shared_adapter_scheme :mydb, self

  def self.mock_adapter_setup(db)
    # ...
  end

  module DatabaseMethods
    # ...
  end

  module DatasetMethods
    # ...
  end
end

would allow the mock adapter to return a Database instance that supports the MyDB syntax via:

Sequel.connect('mock://mydb')

end

#[](*args) ⇒ Object

Returns a dataset for the database. If the first argument is a string, the method acts as an alias for Database#fetch, returning a dataset for arbitrary SQL, with or without placeholders:

DB['SELECT * FROM items'].all
DB['SELECT * FROM items WHERE name = ?', my_name].all

Otherwise, acts as an alias for Database#from, setting the primary table for the dataset:

DB[:items].sql #=> "SELECT * FROM items"

#adapter_scheme ⇒ Object

Returns the scheme symbol for this instance’s class, which reflects which adapter is being used. In some cases, this can be the same as the database_type (for native adapters), in others (i.e. adapters with subadapters), it will be different.

Sequel.connect('jdbc:postgres://...').adapter_scheme

#add_column(table, *args) ⇒ Object

Adds a column to the specified table. This method expects a column name, a datatype and optionally a hash with additional constraints and options:

DB.add_column :items, :name, String, unique: true, null: false
DB.add_column :items, :category, String, default: 'ruby'

#after_commit(opts = OPTS, &block) ⇒ Object

If a transaction is not currently in process, yield to the block immediately. Otherwise, add the block to the list of blocks to call after the currently in progress transaction commits (and only if it commits). Options:

:savepoint

If currently inside a savepoint, only run this hook on transaction commit if all enclosing savepoints have been released.

:server

  add_column :category, String, default: 'ruby'
  drop_column :category
  rename_column :cntr, :counter
  set_column_type :value, Float
  set_column_default :value, 4.2
  add_index [:group, :category]
  drop_index [:group, :category]
end

Note that add_column accepts all the options available for column definitions using create_table, and add_index accepts all the options available for index definition.

#create_join_table(hash, options = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Create a join table using a hash of foreign keys to referenced table names. Example:

create_join_table(cat_id: :cats, dog_id: :dogs)
# CREATE TABLE cats_dogs (
#  cat_id integer NOT NULL REFERENCES cats,
#  dog_id integer NOT NULL REFERENCES dogs,
#  PRIMARY KEY (cat_id, dog_id)
# )
# CREATE INDEX cats_dogs_dog_id_cat_id_index ON cats_dogs(dog_id, cat_id)

The primary key and index are used so that almost all operations on the table can benefit from one of the two indexes, and the primary key ensures that entries in the table are unique, which is the typical desire for a join table.

The default table name this will create is the sorted version of the two hash values, joined by an underscore. So the following two method calls create the same table:

create_join_table(cat_id: :cats, dog_id: :dogs) # cats_dogs
create_join_table(dog_id: :dogs, cat_id: :cats) # cats_dogs

You can provide column options by making the values in the hash be option hashes, so long as the option hashes have a :table entry giving the table referenced:

create_join_table(cat_id: {table: :cats, type: :Bignum}, dog_id: :dogs)

You can provide a second argument which is a table options hash:

create_join_table({cat_id: :cats, dog_id: :dogs}, temp: true)

Some table options are handled specially:

:index_options

The options to pass to the index

:name

The name of the table to create

:no_index

Set to true not to create the second index.

:no_primary_key

Set to true to not create the primary key.

DB.create_or_replace_view(:some_items, DB[:items].where(category: 'ruby'))

For databases where replacing a view is not natively supported, support is emulated by dropping a view with the same name before creating the view.

#create_table(name, options = OPTS, &block) ⇒ Object

Creates a table with the columns given in the provided block:

DB.create_table :posts do
  primary_key :id
  column :title, String
  String :content
  index :title
end

General options:

:as

Create the table using the value, which should be either a dataset or a literal SQL string. If this option is used, a block should not be given to the method.

:ignore_index_errors

Ignore any errors when creating indexes.

:temp

Create the table as a temporary table.

MySQL specific options:

:charset

The character set to use for the table.

:collate

The collation to use for the table.

:engine

The table engine to use for the table.

PostgreSQL specific options:

:on_commit

Either :preserve_rows (default), :drop or :delete_rows. Should only be specified when creating a temporary table.

:foreign

Create a foreign table. The value should be the name of the foreign server that was specified in CREATE SERVER.

:inherits

Inherit from a different table. An array can be specified to inherit from multiple tables.

:unlogged

Create the table as an unlogged table.

:options

The OPTIONS clause to use for foreign tables. Should be a hash where keys are option names and values are option values. Note that option names are unquoted, so you should not use untrusted keys.

:tablespace

The tablespace to use for the table.

SQLite specific options:

:strict

Create a STRICT table, which checks that the values for the columns are the correct type (similar to all other SQL databases). Note that when using this option, all column types used should be one of the following: int, integer, real, text, blob, and any. The any type is treated like a SQLite column in a non-strict table, allowing any type of data to be stored. This option is supported on SQLite 3.37.0+.

:using

Create a VIRTUAL table with the given USING clause. The value should be a string, as it is used directly in the SQL query.

:without_rowid

Create a WITHOUT ROWID table. Every row in SQLite has a special ‘rowid’ column, that uniquely identifies that row within the table. If this option is used, the ‘rowid’ column is omitted, which can sometimes provide some space and speed advantages. Note that you must then provide an explicit primary key when you create the table. This option is supported on SQLite 3.8.2+.

See Schema::CreateTableGenerator and the “Schema Modification” guide.

# CREATE VIEW cheap_items AS
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE price < 100

DB.create_view(:ruby_items, DB[:items].where(category: 'ruby'))

# SELECT * FROM items WHERE (category = 'ruby')

DB.create_view(:checked_items, DB[:items].where(:foo), check: true)

# SELECT * FROM items WHERE foo
# WITH CHECK OPTION

DB.create_view(:bar_items, DB[:items].select(:foo), columns: [:bar])
# CREATE VIEW bar_items (bar) AS
# SELECT foo FROM items

Options:

:columns

The column names to use for the view. If not given, automatically determined based on the input dataset.

:check

Adds a WITH CHECK OPTION clause, so that attempting to modify rows in the underlying table that would not be returned by the view is not allowed. This can be set to :local to use WITH LOCAL CHECK OPTION.

PostgreSQL/SQLite specific option:

:temp

Create a temporary view, automatically dropped on disconnect.

PostgreSQL specific options:

:materialized

Creates a materialized view, similar to a regular view, but backed by a physical table.

:recursive

Creates a recursive view. As columns must be specified for recursive views, you can also set them as the value of this option. Since a recursive view requires a union that isn’t in a subquery, if you are providing a Dataset as the source argument, if should probably call the union method with the all: true and from_self: false options.

:security_invoker

Set the security_invoker property on the view, making the access to the view use the current user’s permissions, instead of the view owner’s permissions.

:tablespace

The tablespace to use for materialized views.

#extend_datasets(mod = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Equivalent to extending all datasets produced by the database with a module. What it actually does is use a subclass of the current dataset_class as the new dataset_class, and include the module in the subclass. Instead of a module, you can provide a block that is used to create an anonymous module.

This allows you to override any of the dataset methods even if they are defined directly on the dataset class that this Database object uses.

If a block is given, a Dataset::DatasetModule instance is created, allowing for the easy creation of named dataset methods that will do caching.

Examples:

# Introspect columns for all of DB's datasets
DB.extend_datasets(Sequel::ColumnsIntrospection)

# Trace all SELECT queries by printing the SQL and the full backtrace
DB.extend_datasets do
  def fetch_rows(sql)
    puts sql
    puts caller
    super
  end
end

# Add some named dataset methods
DB.extend_datasets do
  order :by_id, :id
  select :with_id_and_name, :id, :name
  where :active, :active
end

DB[:table].active.with_id_and_name.by_id

#extension(*exts) ⇒ Object

Load an extension into the receiver. In addition to requiring the extension file, this also modifies the database to work with the extension (usually extending it with a module defined in the extension file). If no related extension file exists or the extension does not have specific support for Database objects, an Error will be raised. Returns self.

#fetch(sql, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Returns a dataset instance for the given SQL string:

ds = DB.fetch('SELECT * FROM items')

You can then call methods on the dataset to retrieve results:

ds.all
# SELECT * FROM items
# => [{:column=>value, ...}, ...]

If a block is given, it is passed to #each on the resulting dataset to iterate over the records returned by the query:

DB.fetch('SELECT * FROM items'){|r| p r}
# {:column=>value, ...}
# ...

fetch can also perform parameterized queries for protection against SQL injection:

ds = DB.fetch('SELECT * FROM items WHERE name = ?', "my name")
ds.all
# SELECT * FROM items WHERE name = 'my name'

#rollback_on_exit(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

When exiting the transaction block through methods other than an exception (e.g. normal exit, non-local return, or throw), set the current transaction to rollback instead of committing. This is designed for use in cases where you want to preform a non-local return but also want to rollback instead of committing. Options:

:cancel

Cancel the current rollback_on_exit setting, so exiting will commit instead of rolling back.

:savepoint

Rollback only the current savepoint if inside a savepoint. Can also be an positive integer value to rollback that number of enclosing savepoints, up to and including the transaction itself. If the database does not support savepoints, this option is ignored and the entire transaction is affected.

:server

The server/shard the transaction is being executed on.

Returns the schema for the given table as an array with all members being arrays of length 2, the first member being the column name, and the second member being a hash of column information. The table argument can also be a dataset, as long as it only has one table. Available options are:

:reload

Ignore any cached results, and get fresh information from the database.

:schema

An explicit schema to use. It may also be implicitly provided via the table name.

If schema parsing is supported by the database, the column information hash should contain at least the following entries:

:allow_null

Whether NULL is an allowed value for the column.

:db_type

The database type for the column, as a database specific string.

:default

The database default for the column, as a database specific string, or nil if there is no default value.

:primary_key

Whether the columns is a primary key column. If this column is not present, it means that primary key information is unavailable, not that the column is not a primary key.

:ruby_default

The database default for the column, as a ruby object. In many cases, complex database defaults cannot be parsed into ruby objects, in which case nil will be used as the value.

:type

A symbol specifying the type, such as :integer or :string.

Example:

DB.schema(:artists)
# [[:id,
#   {:type=>:integer,
#    :primary_key=>true,
#    :default=>"nextval('artist_id_seq'::regclass)",
#    :ruby_default=>nil,
#    :db_type=>"integer",
#    :allow_null=>false}],
#  [:name,
#   {:type=>:string,
#    :primary_key=>false,
#    :default=>nil,
#    :ruby_default=>nil,
#    :db_type=>"text",
#    :allow_null=>false}]]

#synchronize(server = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Acquires a database connection, yielding it to the passed block. This is useful if you want to make sure the same connection is used for all database queries in the block. It is also useful if you want to gain direct access to the underlying connection object if you need to do something Sequel does not natively support.

If a server option is given, acquires a connection for that specific server, instead of the :default server.

DB.synchronize do |conn|
  # ...
end

# File 'lib/sequel/database/connecting.rb', line 282

def synchronize(server=nil, &block)
  @pool.hold(server || :default, &block)
end

#table_exists?(name) ⇒ Boolean

Returns true if a table with the given name exists. This requires a query to the database.

DB.table_exists?(:foo) # => false
# SELECT NULL FROM foo LIMIT 1

Note that since this does a SELECT from the table, it can give false negatives if you don’t have permission to SELECT from the table.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

#test_connection(server = nil) ⇒ Object

Attempts to acquire a database connection. Returns true if successful. Will probably raise an Error if unsuccessful. If a server argument is given, attempts to acquire a database connection to the given server/shard.

#transaction(opts = OPTS, &block) ⇒ Object

Starts a database transaction. When a database transaction is used, either all statements are successful or none of the statements are successful. Note that MySQL MyISAM tables do not support transactions.

The following general options are respected:

:auto_savepoint

Automatically use a savepoint for Database#transaction calls inside this transaction block.

:isolation

The transaction isolation level to use for this transaction, should be :uncommitted, :committed, :repeatable, or :serializable, used if given and the database/adapter supports customizable transaction isolation levels.

:num_retries

The number of times to retry if the :retry_on option is used. The default is 5 times. Can be set to nil to retry indefinitely, but that is not recommended.

:before_retry

Proc to execute before retrying if the :retry_on option is used. Called with two arguments: the number of retry attempts (counting the current one) and the error the last attempt failed with.

:prepare

A string to use as the transaction identifier for a prepared transaction (two-phase commit), if the database/adapter supports prepared transactions.

:retry_on

An exception class or array of exception classes for which to automatically retry the transaction. Can only be set if not inside an existing transaction. Note that this should not be used unless the entire transaction block is idempotent, as otherwise it can cause non-idempotent behavior to execute multiple times.

:rollback

Can be set to :reraise to reraise any Sequel::Rollback exceptions raised, or :always to always rollback even if no exceptions occur (useful for testing).

:server

The server to use for the transaction. Set to :default, :read_only, or whatever symbol you used in the connect string when naming your servers.

:savepoint

Whether to create a new savepoint for this transaction, only respected if the database/adapter supports savepoints. By default Sequel will reuse an existing transaction, so if you want to use a savepoint you must use this option. If the surrounding transaction uses :auto_savepoint, you can set this to false to not use a savepoint. If the value given for this option is :only, it will only create a savepoint if it is inside a transaction.

:skip_transaction

If set, do not actually open a transaction or savepoint, just checkout a connection and yield it.

PostgreSQL specific options:

:deferrable

(9.1+) If present, set to DEFERRABLE if true or NOT DEFERRABLE if false.

:read_only

If present, set to READ ONLY if true or READ WRITE if false.

:synchronous

if non-nil, set synchronous_commit appropriately. Valid values true, :on, false, :off, :local (9.1+), and :remote_write (9.2+).
