Sequel version 0.1.6 has just been released. New in this release is
support for literal expressions, Dataset#or and Dataset#and, and the
default join type is INNER JOIN. Various bug fixes courtesy of snok.
Sequel is a lightweight ORM library for Ruby. Sequel provides thread
safety, connection pooling and a concise DSL for constructing database
queries and table schemas.
Literal expressions
===================
You can now use literal expressions in filters or update values:
items.update_sql
col2 => 'col1 + 10'.expr) #=>
"UPDATE items SET col2 = col1 + 10"
items.exclude {col1 > 'col2 + col3'.expr}.sql #=>
"SELECT * FROM items WHERE NOT (col1 > col2 + col3)"
Dataset#or, #and
================
Pretty much self-explanatory:
items.filter {col1 > 100}.orcol2 => nil).sql #=>
"SELECT * FROM items WHERE (col1 > 100) OR (col2 IS NULL)"
items.filter {col1 > 100}.andcol2 => nil).sql #=>
"SELECT * FROM items WHERE (col1 > 100) AND (col2 IS NULL)"
Default join type
=================
On advice from a dude named snok, I changed the default join type to
INNER, since that's what the SQL specs say. So now:
DB[:a].joinb, :a_id).sql #=>
"SELECT * FROM a INNER JOIN b ON (b.a_id = a.id)"
SQLite Memory DB
================
The SQLite adapter always had support for memory DB's:
Sequel.open 'sqlite:/:memory:'
Well, now it's even easier. Just omit the db name altogether:
Sequel.open 'sqlite:/'
Miscelenea
==========
* Removed stub class methods from Model. Model.method_missing now
automagically creates stub methods as needed. This is the first step
on the way to turning the model class into a supercharged dataset, but
that's a topic for a separate post. Coming soon...
* Fixed PrettyTable code so now model datasets can be printed just
like naked datasets (thanks snok).
* Fixed Model#method_missing to raise if an unknown attribute is
accessed. Up until now this was the cause for a lot of potential
hidden errors, as unintended method calls would be swallowed and
ignored.
* Fixed ODBC timestamp conversion to support dates before 1970 and
after 2040 (thanks snok.)
