Hello rubyonrails-core, I’ve been looking into possible changes to ActiveRecord / Arel to make it easier to write Rails applications that are free of SQL injection vulnerabilities, and in particular do so in a way that makes it easy for a code reviewer to verify that the app is safe from such bugs. The concern: ----------------- With the ActiveRecord API as is, it’s relatively easy to write

Hello, Arel::SelectManager (arel 2.0.9) uses following statement to insert a new record: @engine.connection.insert im.to_sql, ''AREL'', primary_key_name, primary_key_value But in DatabaseStatements insert ist defined as: insert(sql, name = nil, pk = nil, id_value = nil, sequence_name = nil) Actually, Arel::SelectManager does not use the sequence name. This leads to issues

I trying to create a select using Arel but I''m passing three parameters, I want to include the parameters only if they are different to nil or blank. Here is my method: def self.advsearch(summary_description, specialties, place) User.joins(:experience,:summary,:information) .where(Information.arel_table[:business].eq(false))

I''m trying to figure out how to use ActiveRecord in conjunction with ARel. In particular, I''d like to replace my residual literal SQL with ARel, if only I could see how. Let''s take Article with multiple Versions as an example. With ARel alone, I can find articles with their latest versions like this articles = Article.arel_table versions = Article.arel_table

Hello all, I''ve recently been on a project where somewhere needs using case insensitive search(using UPPER(name) LIKE '''') and LIKE condition, I want to use arel and don''t use the old style string concatenation, can arel handle this? But I check on arel documentation, doesn''t seems have any upper/like operator, and check on arel source, under

I have the following code: advertisements_arel = Advertisement.order("advertisements.id DESC").arel @advertisements = (params[:website_id].present? ? advertisements_arel.where(:website_id => params[:website_id]) : advertisements_arel).to_a It returns a struct Arel::SelectManager::Row data But I''d like it to return an array of Advertisement objects (like it would

Hi, I''ve search for documentations on queries with Arel 2 but there is pretty nothing and all I''ve found is for Arel 1 so I''ve run into NoMethodError: undefined method `[]'' for #<Arel::SelectManager:0x00000003f1b820> errors with join syntax. My query is barely simple but involve nesting queries. I have 4 tables. Assets, Deposits, Orders and OrderLines

What is the recommended way to use table aliases with ActiveRecord::Relation these days? In prior versions of Rails, this would work: assume (pseudo code): model A has_many b''s model B ,,, at = B.arel_table atalias = at.alias(at.name + "_1") A.join(:b).join(atalias).where(atalias[:a_id].eq(at[:a_id]).where("b.widget =

Rails 3.2.11 My app has a model called Plan, which has has_many self-referential association just like http://railscasts.com/episodes/163-self-referential-association has_many :matches has_many :counterparts, :through => :matches has_many :inverse_matches, :class_name => "Match", :foreign_key => :counterpart_id has_many :inverse_counterparts, :through =>

I often find myself in situations where I''m fighting against ActiveRecord because there is no easy way to alias some tables. For example, I''m converting a legacy application. So, there is a ''condition_type'' table that actually should be something like ''fields''. Also it can have a parent field and deletion is handled by setting a

I have a real-world application with some complex queries that I want to convert to Arel (as part of an upgrade to Rails 3.1). So that I can understand what I''m doing before I flail around in my real app, I wrote a little sample app (just the models) with some similar associations -- one table joined with itself and more tables that join to another table, so there are some queries that

Hello everybody, I have some troubles with uploading files in my Rails project. I use Rails 3, Ruby 1.9.2, rack 1.2.1, and both webrick / passenger on apache I was investigating and have isolated the strange behaviour on a simple empty project: view: <% form_tag({:action => ''upload''}, :multipart => true) do %> <%=text_field_tag :desc %>

I just posted this ticket in Lighthouse, but thought perhaps some discussion here would help point me in the right direction toward a solution. Here is a description of the problem (from the ticket - https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/6693-arel-union-does-not-support-order-or-limit) : > If we take two `ActiveRecord::Relations` and join them via `union`:

I''m building rails 3 with legacy oracle 10g db. which it''s sequence is non rails convension. I have try this. class AdCourt < ActiveRecord::Base set_sequence_name ''COURT_SEQ'' end with rails console : AdCourt.sequence_name I have got "COURT_SEQ" which look ok. When AdCourt.create!(:caption => ''AAAA'', :code =>

im a begginer in RoR and am using rails 3.2.3 and ruby 1.8.7 This forum has helped me to progress but I''m confused by one thing. My app is supposed to allow seaching for results depending on the check boxes that are checked. In my case, when the user checks a determined facility and clicks "search" the corresponding hotels with only those facilities should be returned. I can

Hi, I was very surprised by difference of delete_all on association vs model(delegated to relation). Given TaskFilter.has_many(:qualifiers, :class_name=>''TaskFilterQualifier'') TaskFilter.delete_all => one DELETE statement Without :dependent option on "qualifiers" association TaskFilter.first.qualifiers.delete_all => SELECT `task_filter_qualifiers`.* FROM

trying to set up a "has_and_belongs_to_many" relationship would very much appreciate the help, not sure what im doing wrong at all. Scheme.rb class Scheme < ActiveRecord::Base validates :schemename, :presence => true belongs_to :user has_many :levels, :dependent => :destroy has_and_belongs_to_many :works end Work.rb class Work < ActiveRecord::Base

Hi guys I have added possibility pass hash to order method. Also i updated symbol parsing. Here is the pull request - https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/7765 Can you please provide some feedback? So the main idea is to convert symbol or hash into Arel::Nodes::Ordering instead of Arel::Nodes::SqlLiteral. Arel::Nodes::Ordering object contain information about table - so we can, for example,

Would the core team be open to the removal of the ''&'' alias for ActiveRecord::Relation#merge? The reason is that in Ruby the ''&'' operator refers to an intersection of two sets of data, not a merge. (within the context of the Array class) Recently Arel added support for SQL Set Operators: 2-0-stable:

I have a form that allows me to search a hotel by city or name and by rating through radio buttons. It all works. However, my hotel model has_one :facility, this facility model is composed by several boolean fields (for example, roomservice:boolean restaurant:boolean and so on) The question is, I want to add checkbox fields for each facility I have and in the search form, when the user selects
