My sql in rails
#search = #search.where('txt_1 OR txt_2 OR keywords like ?', some_value)
Why this doesn't work. When I have only " txt_1 OR txt_2 " - i think it works ok. But when I add next OR, there is no result when some_value doesn't exist in last OR.
ANSWER:
ok as I see, OR is condition that return true for one OR/AND second variable. I make this like that, and it works - I don't know is this a good solution
#items.where(' (txt_1 OR txt_2 like ?) OR (keywords like ?) ', "%#{search_name}%","%#{search_name}%")
The OR statement in SQL has to be used to compare different assertion, like something = 'something' OR other_thing = 'other_stuff'.
In your case, you should use the OR keyword as the following:
#items.where('txt_1 LIKE ? OR txt_2 LIKE ? OR keywords LIKE ?', "%#{search_name}%","%#{search_name}%", "%#{search_name}%")
But since you use the same value (search_name), you can use this pretty usefull syntax:
#items.where('txt_1 LIKE :search OR txt_2 LIKE :search OR keywords LIKE :search', search: "%#{search_name}%")
I have a DQL query like:
$em->createQuery("
SELECT r
FROM WeAdminBundle:FamilyRelation r
WHERE r.col like :query
")
Now I want to change "col" depending on various parameters. How can i achieve this with DQL since the normal setParameter doesn't work here.
You can use setParameter with DQL, as many examples are provided but for LIKE clauses, make sure the variable is wrapped in %.
$em->createQuery("
SELECT r
FROM WeAdminBundle:FamilyRelation r
WHERE r.col like :query
")->setParameters(array(
'query' => '%'.$foo.'%'
))
In short: you can't the way you want it.
To do it you'd need something like $dql->setColumn(array('variable_column' => 'some_column_name')) just as the bindColumn method from PDO, but there's no equivalent method (bindColum or setcolumn) in Doctrine.
For use of different parameter instead of col please see below example:
$var = "r.col";
Here you can change based on condition.
$em->createQuery("
SELECT r
FROM WeAdminBundle:FamilyRelation r
WHERE ".$var." like :query
")
please have a look it.
I'm trying to do a query with a select in another.
I would like to do something like:
select?q=*:* AND id_user=5&fl=id_other
select?q=test AND -id(the result of the other select)&fl=id
So:
select?q=test AND -id(select?q=* AND id_user=5&fl=id_other)&fl=id
Is it possible? Or I have to do two separates selects?
$ids = select?q=*:* AND id_user=5&fl=id_other
$result = select?q=test AND -id(implode(' AND ', $ids))&fl=id
Thanks!
There is a nested query support in Solr. You can _query_ parameter to embed query into another. Check this tutorial for more information.
Per section 2.2 of rails guide on Active Record query interface here:
which seems to indicate that I can pass a string specifying the condition(s), then an array of values that should be substituted at some point while the arel is being built. So I've got a statement that generates my conditions string, which can be a varying number of attributes chained together with either AND or OR between them, and I pass in an array as the second arg to the where method, and I get:
ActiveRecord::PreparedStatementInvalid: wrong number of bind variables (1 for 5)
which leads me to believe I'm doing this incorrectly. However, I'm not finding anything on how to do it correctly. To restate the problem another way, I need to pass in a string to the where method such as "table.attribute = ? AND table.attribute1 = ? OR table.attribute1 = ?" with an unknown number of these conditions anded or ored together, and then pass something, what I thought would be an array as the second argument that would be used to substitute the values in the first argument conditions string. Is this the correct approach, or, I'm just missing some other huge concept somewhere and I'm coming at this all wrong? I'd think that somehow, this has to be possible, short of just generating a raw sql string.
This is actually pretty simple:
Model.where(attribute: [value1,value2])
Sounds like you're doing something like this:
Model.where("attribute = ? OR attribute2 = ?", [value, value])
Whereas you need to do this:
# notice the lack of an array as the last argument
Model.where("attribute = ? OR attribute2 = ?", value, value)
Have a look at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_querying.html#array-conditions for more details on how this works.
Instead of passing the same parameter multiple times to where() like this
User.where(
"first_name like ? or last_name like ? or city like ?",
"%#{search}%", "%#{search}%", "%#{search}%"
)
you can easily provide a hash
User.where(
"first_name like :search or last_name like :search or city like :search",
{search: "%#{search}%"}
)
that makes your query much more readable for long argument lists.

Was really close. You can turn an array into a list of arguments with *my_list.
Model.where("id = ? OR id = ?", *["1", "2"])
OR
params = ["1", "2"]
Model.where("id = ? OR id = ?", *params)
Should work
If you want to chain together an open-ended list of conditions (attribute names and values), I would suggest using an arel table.
It's a bit hard to give specifics since your question is so vague, so I'll just explain how to do this for a simple case of a Post model and a few attributes, say title, summary, and user_id (i.e. a user has_many posts).
First, get the arel table for the model:
table = Post.arel_table
Then, start building your predicate (which you will eventually use to create an SQL query):
relation = table[:title].eq("Foo")
relation = relation.or(table[:summary].eq("A post about foo"))
relation = relation.and(table[:user_id].eq(5))
Here, table[:title], table[:summary] and table[:user_id] are representations of columns in the posts table. When you call table[:title].eq("Foo"), you are creating a predicate, roughly equivalent to a find condition (get all rows whose title column equals "Foo"). These predicates can be chained together with and and or.
When your aggregate predicate is ready, you can get the result with:
Post.where(relation)
which will generate the SQL:
SELECT "posts".* FROM "posts"
WHERE (("posts"."title" = "Foo" OR "posts"."summary" = "A post about foo")
AND "posts"."user_id" = 5)
This will get you all posts that have either the title "Foo" or the summary "A post about foo", and which belong to a user with id 5.
Notice the way arel predicates can be endlessly chained together to create more and more complex queries. This means that if you have (say) a hash of attribute/value pairs, and some way of knowing whether to use AND or OR on each of them, you can loop through them one by one and build up your condition:
relation = table[:title].eq("Foo")
hash.each do |attr, value|
relation = relation.and(table[attr].eq(value))
# or relation = relation.or(table[attr].eq(value)) for an OR predicate
end
Post.where(relation)
Aside from the ease of chaining conditions, another advantage of arel tables is that they are independent of database, so you don't have to worry whether your MySQL query will work in PostgreSQL, etc.
Here's a Railscast with more on arel: http://railscasts.com/episodes/215-advanced-queries-in-rails-3?view=asciicast
Hope that helps.
You can use a hash rather than a string. Build up a hash with however many conditions and corresponding values you are going to have and put it into the first argument of the where method.
WRONG
This is what I used to do for some reason.
keys = params[:search].split(',').map!(&:downcase)
# keys are now ['brooklyn', 'queens']
query = 'lower(city) LIKE ?'
if keys.size > 1
# I need something like this depending on number of keys
# 'lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ?'
query_array = []
keys.size.times { query_array << query }
#['lower(city) LIKE ?','lower(city) LIKE ?']
query = query_array.join(' OR ')
# which gives me 'lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ?'
end
# now I can query my model
# if keys size is one then keys are just 'brooklyn',
# in this case it is 'brooklyn', 'queens'
# #posts = Post.where('lower(city) LIKE ? OR lower(city) LIKE ?','brooklyn', 'queens' )
#posts = Post.where(query, *keys )
now however - yes - it's very simple. as nfriend21 mentioned
Model.where(attribute: [value1,value2])
does the same thing
I have several complex queries (using subqueries, etc...) and want to glue them together with OR or AND statement.
For example:
where1=table.where(...)
where2=table.where(...)
I would like something like
where3=where1.or where2
Next example doesn't work for me:
users.where(users[:name].eq('bob').or(users[:age].lt(25)))
because of I have several where(..) queries and I want to concatenate them.
In other words
I have 3 methods: first return first where, second-second, third - OR concatenation.
I must have able to use all 3 methods in my application and save DRY code
are you looking for the form:
users.where(users[:name].eq('bob').or(users[:age].lt(25)))
docs: https://github.com/rails/arel
users.where(users[:name].eq('bob').or(users[:age].lt(25))) is close, but you need to get the arel_table to specify the columns, e.g.
t = User.arel_table
User.where(t[:name].eq('bob').or(t[:age].lt(25)))
I know that for AND concatenation you can do:
users = User.where(:name => 'jack')
users = users.where(:job => 'developer')
and you get a concatenation with AND in SQL (try it with #to_sql at the end)
Other than that you can do:
where1=table.where(...)
where2=table.where(...)
where1 & where2
example:
(User.where(:name => 'jack') & User.where(:job => 'dev')).to_sql
=> "SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE `users`.`name` = 'jack' AND `users`.`job` = 'dev'"
