# This changes Sequel's literalization of IN/NOT IN with an empty # array value to not return NULL even if one of the referenced # columns is NULL: # # DB[:test].where(:name=>[]) # # SELECT * FROM test WHERE (1 = 0) # DB[:test].exclude(:name=>[]) # # SELECT * FROM test WHERE (1 = 1) # # The default Sequel behavior is to respect NULLs, so that when # name is NULL, the expression returns NULL. # # You can load this extension into specific datasets: # # ds = DB[:table] # ds = ds.extension(:empty_array_ignore_nulls) # # Or you can load it into all of a database's datasets, which # is probably the desired behavior if you are using this extension: # # DB.extension(:empty_array_ignore_nulls) # module Sequel module EmptyArrayIgnoreNulls # Use a simple expression that is always true or false, never NULL. def empty_array_value(op, cols) {1 => ((op == :IN) ? 0 : 1)} end end Dataset.register_extension(:empty_array_ignore_nulls, EmptyArrayIgnoreNulls) end
