class Sequel::SQL::BooleanExpression
Subclass of ComplexExpression
where the expression results in
a boolean value in SQL.
Public Class Methods
Take pairs of values (e.g. a hash or array of two element arrays) and
converts it to a BooleanExpression
. The operator and args
used depends on the case of the right (2nd) argument:
- 0..10
-
left >= 0 AND left <= 10
- 1,2
-
left IN (1,2)
- nil
-
left IS NULL
- true
-
left IS TRUE
- false
-
left IS FALSE
- /as/
-
left ~ 'as'
- :blah
-
left = blah
- 'blah'
-
left = 'blah'
If multiple arguments are given, they are joined with the op given (AND by default, OR possible). If negate is set to true, all subexpressions are inverted before used. Therefore, the following expressions are equivalent:
~from_value_pairs(hash) from_value_pairs(hash, :OR, true)
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 1080 def self.from_value_pairs(pairs, op=:AND, negate=false) pairs = pairs.map{|l,r| from_value_pair(l, r)} pairs.map!{|ce| invert(ce)} if negate pairs.length == 1 ? pairs[0] : new(op, *pairs) end
Invert the expression, if possible. If the expression cannot be inverted, raise an error. An inverted expression should match everything that the uninverted expression did not match, and vice-versa, except for possible issues with SQL NULL (i.e. 1 == NULL is NULL and 1 != NULL is also NULL).
BooleanExpression.invert(:a) # NOT "a"
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 1139 def self.invert(ce) case ce when BooleanExpression case op = ce.op when :AND, :OR BooleanExpression.new(OPERTATOR_INVERSIONS[op], *ce.args.map{|a| BooleanExpression.invert(a)}) when :IN, :"NOT IN" BooleanExpression.new(OPERTATOR_INVERSIONS[op], *ce.args.dup) else if ce.args.length == 2 case ce.args[1] when Function, LiteralString, PlaceholderLiteralString # Special behavior to not push down inversion in this case because doing so # can result in incorrect behavior for ANY/SOME/ALL operators. BooleanExpression.new(:NOT, ce) else BooleanExpression.new(OPERTATOR_INVERSIONS[op], *ce.args.dup) end else BooleanExpression.new(OPERTATOR_INVERSIONS[op], *ce.args.dup) end end when StringExpression, NumericExpression raise(Sequel::Error, "cannot invert #{ce.inspect}") when Constant CONSTANT_INVERSIONS[ce] || raise(Sequel::Error, "cannot invert #{ce.inspect}") else BooleanExpression.new(:NOT, ce) end end
Private Class Methods
Return a BooleanExpression based on the right side of the pair.

Public Instance Methods
Always use an AND operator for & on BooleanExpressions
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 1171 def &(ce) BooleanExpression.new(:AND, self, ce) end
Return self instead of creating a new object to save on memory.
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 1181 def sql_boolean self end
Always use an OR operator for | on BooleanExpressions
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 1176 def |(ce) BooleanExpression.new(:OR, self, ce) end
