Subclass of ComplexExpression where the expression results in a boolean value in SQL.
Take pairs of values (e.g. a hash or array of arrays of two pairs) 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
left IN (1,2)
nil - left IS NULL
/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 478 def self.from_value_pairs(pairs, op=:AND, negate=false) pairs = pairs.collect do |l,r| ce = case r when Range new(:AND, new(:>=, l, r.begin), new(r.exclude_end? ? :< : :<=, l, r.end)) when Array, ::Sequel::Dataset, SQLArray new(:IN, l, r) when NegativeBooleanConstant new(:"IS NOT", l, r.constant) when BooleanConstant new(:IS, l, r.constant) when NilClass, TrueClass, FalseClass new(:IS, l, r) when Regexp StringExpression.like(l, r) else new(:'=', l, r) end negate ? invert(ce) : ce end pairs.length == 1 ? pairs.at(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).
# File lib/sequel/sql.rb, line 505 def self.invert(ce) case ce when BooleanExpression case op = ce.op when :AND, :OR BooleanExpression.new(OPERTATOR_INVERSIONS[op], *ce.args.collect{|a| BooleanExpression.invert(a)}) else BooleanExpression.new(OPERTATOR_INVERSIONS[op], *ce.args.dup) end when StringExpression, NumericExpression raise(Sequel::Error, "cannot invert #{ce.inspect}") else BooleanExpression.new(:NOT, ce) end end
