Rails 3: Including an SQL function in a query
MyModel.select('a, b, c').all
This returns the following from a database:
+---+---+---+
| a | b | c |
+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 |
+---+---+---+
Question: How would I include a fourth column with the result of an SQL function?
i.e.
+---+---+---+---------------------+
| a | b | c | MYFUNCTION(a, b, c) |
+---+---+---+---------------------+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 123 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 | 456 |
| 7 | 8 | 9 | 789 |
+---+---+---+---------------------+
The following didn't work:
MyModel.select('a, b,开发者_如何学JAVA c, MYFUNCTION(a, b, c)').all
although, if I use AS
to give the column the name of a valid model attribute, it works:
MyModel.select('a, b, MYFUNCTION(a, b, b) AS c').all
+---+---+-----+
| a | b | c |
+---+---+-----+
| 1 | 2 | 122 |
| 4 | 5 | 455 |
| 7 | 8 | 788 |
+---+---+-----+
I would prefer to solve this within the context of the model rather than reverting to raw SQL as I also need to utilise scopes.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
You can give any arbitrary name to the AS column, instead of giving an existing attribute.
irb(main):009:0> u = User.select('id, id+1 as blah').first
=> #<User id: 1>
irb(main):010:0> u.id
=> 1
irb(main):011:0> u.blah
=> 2
irb(main):012:0>
