how to insert an array of strings to sql query in ruby - sql

I have this query in ruby:
sql = "SELECT variants.id,
code,
regular_price,
price_before_sale
FROM variants
WHERE variants.code IN (#{context.codes.join(",")})"
where context.codes = ['PRDCT-1','PRDCT-2']
now context.codes becomes (PRDCT1,PRDCT2) inside the sql query because of the .join but what I want to happen is ('PRDCT1','PRDCT2') what am I missing?
EDI: I have tried to do (#{context.codes.join("','")}) but it returns (PRDCT1','PRDCT2)

Don't do that. Bobby Tables is watching. Instead, provide the adequate number of placeholders:
sql = "SELECT variants.id,
code,
regular_price,
price_before_sale
FROM variants
WHERE variants.code IN (#{context.codes.map { "?" }.join(",")})"
and then provide *context.codes in statement parameters.

I got it.
I added single quotes to ('#{context.codes.join("','")}')

IPython SQL Magic - Generate Query String Programmatically

I'm generating SQL programmatically so that, based on certain parameters, the query that needs to be executed could be different (i.e., tables used, unions, etc). How can I insert a string like this: "select * from table", into a %%sql block? I know that using :variable inserts variable into the %%sql block, but it does so as a string, rather than sql code.
The answer was staring me in the face:
query="""
select
*
from
sometable
"""
%sql $query
If you want to templatize your queries, you can use string.Template:
from string import Template
template = Template("""
SELECT *
FROM my_data
LIMIT $limit
""")
limit_one = template.substitute(limit=1)
limit_two = template.substitute(limit=2)
%sql $limit_one

Important: If you use this approach, ensure you trust/sanitize the input!

Rails query to SQL statement

I'm trying to write an write this:
Team.last.players.sum("goals")
erb:
SELECT SUM("players"."goals")
FROM "players"
WHERE "players"."team_id" = $1 [["team_id", 2]]
how to rewrite this so that I could use it in a method:
def sql_search
sql = "SELECT SUM \"players\".\"goals\" FROM \"players\" WHERE \"players\".\"team_id\" = $1 [[\"team_id\", #{self.id}"
connection.execute(sql);
end
keep getting this error:
PG::SyntaxError: ERROR: syntax error at or near "."
LINE 1: SELECT SUM "players"."goals" FROM "players" WHERE "players"....
Any ideas would be appreciated
You don't need to add \" in sql statement, just remove them.
def sql_search
sql = "SELECT sum(goals) FROM players WHERE team_id = #{self.id};"
connection.execute(sql);
end
Is there some reason that you want to hard code the SQL query? It's generally bad practice to use string interpolation to insert parameters to SQL queries because of SQL injection attacks. Instead it's recommended to use ActiveRecord's SQL query parameter binding like this:
user_input = 5
Player.where('team_id = ?', user_input).sum(:goals)
Basically what this does is insert the parameter 5 after sanitization. This means you're safe from attacks where a hacker attempts to insert arbitrary SQL into parameter variables attempting to return sensitive data or delete data entirely!

chain string expression linq

In traditional sql we can chain expression according to if statements.
for example lets say I have variable called "firstName" and I want to get from database all users according to the value in this variable(if empty get all users)
so I will chain the sql string like that
string sql="";
if(firstname!="")
sql=String.format(" And firstname='{0}',firstName)
.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandType.Text,"select * from users where 1=1" + sql)
Is there a way to copy this Technique to linq expression?
something like
from U in user
where 1=1 & sql
select U
Change to method syntax instead of query syntax, and chaining is easy.
var query = user.Select(u => u);
if(firstname!="")
query = query.Where(u => u.firstname = firstname);
queries in query syntax are converted at compile-time, so there's not a mechanism to "inject" sql at run time using query syntax.

Need help converting SQL query to Ruby.

I'm new to Ruby on Rails. I'm trying to determine the proper ruby query for the following SQL query.
Select max(bid_amount) from biddings where listing_id = 1;
I need to extract the maximum value in the bid_amount column. But it has to have a dynamic listing_id.
Try:
Bidding.where('listing_id = :listing_id', listing_id: 1).maximum(:bid_amount)
Update:
To follow up on your comment: since you say you are passing in params[:id], it's best to convert that parameter to integer so that unwanted values don't go to the database. For e.g.
Bidding.where('listing_id = :listing_id', listing_id: params[:id].to_i).maximum(:bid_amount)

multiple parameter "IN" prepared statement

I was trying to figure out how can I set multiple parameters for the IN clause in my SQL query using PreparedStatement.
For example in this SQL statement, I'll be having indefinite number of ?.
select * from ifs_db where img_hub = ? and country IN (multiple ?)
I've read about this in
PreparedStatement IN clause alternatives?
However I can't figure it out how to apply it to my SQL statement above.
There's not a standard way to handle this.
In SQL Server, you can use a table-valued parameter in a stored procedure and pass the countries in a table and use it in a join.
I've also seen cases where a comma-separated list is passed in and then parsed into a table by a function and then used in a join.
If your countries are standard ISO codes in a delimited list like '#US#UK#DE#NL#', you can use a rather simplistic construct like:
select * from ifs_db where img_hub = ? and ? LIKE '%#' + country + '#%'
Sormula will work for any data type (even custom types). This example uses int's for simplicity.
ArrayList<Integer> partNumbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
partNumbers.add(999);
partNumbers.add(777);
partNumbers.add(1234);
// set up
Database database = new Database(getConnection());
Table<Inventory> inventoryTable = database.getTable(Inventory.class);
ArrayListSelectOperation<Inventory> operation =
new ArrayListSelectOperation<Inventory>(inventoryTable, "partNumberIn");
// show results
for (Inventory inventory: operation.selectAll(partNumbers))
System.out.println(inventory.getPartNumber());
You could use setArray method as mentioned in the javadoc below:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/PreparedStatement.html#setArray(int, java.sql.Array)
Code:
PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("Select * from test where field in (?)");
Array array = statement.getConnection().createArrayOf("VARCHAR", new Object[]{"AA1", "BB2","CC3"});
statement.setArray(1, array);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
