== DESCRIPTION:
=== What is TwoWaySQL
'TwoWaySQL' is a concept, looks like a Template Engine for SQL.
It is initially invented and implemented in Seasar project's S2Dao[http://s2dao.seasar.org/en/index.html].
This package is a Ruby implementation of TwoWaySQL concept.
=== Why TwoWaySQL
Like any other technology, SQL is also in 80:20 world. 80% of SQL can be generated easily and automatically by O-R Mappers, 20% can not. 20% of your SQLs may large and complex, using CASE clause, self JOIN, UNION ALL, EXCEPT, ... these are the real strength of SQL and its set-based operations.
We better use them, to get the most out of RDBMS power.
TwoWaySQL encourages to write complex SQL manually. Just develop SQL using tools like pgAdmin3 in try and error style, then markup the SQL by TwoWaySQL. Usage and Features are in this doc.
=== Advantage
TwoWaySQL provides better separation of host language and SQL.
With TwoWaySQL, you can
* separate SQL (as file) from host language
* bind variables to SQL using Interpolation comments
* modify SQL conditionally by using Directive comments
* run and preview TwoWaySQL-style SQL by tools like pgAdmin3, since the SQL is still valid SQL.
== One minute example
# given SQL string with TwoWaySQL comments
sql = <<-EOS
SELECT * FROM emp
/*BEGIN*/WHERE
/*IF ctx[:job]*/ job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK' /*END*/
/*IF ctx[:deptno_list]*/ AND deptno IN /*ctx[:deptno_list]*/(20, 30) /*END*/
/*IF ctx[:age]*/ AND age > /*ctx[:age]*/30 /*END*/
/*END*/
/*IF ctx[:order_by] */ ORDER BY /*$ctx[:order_by]*/id /*$ctx[:order]*/ASC /*END*/
EOS
# parse the SQL to create template object
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql)
# merge data with template
data = {
:age => 35,
:deptno_list => [10,20,30],
:order_by => 'age',
:order => 'DESC'
}
merged = template.merge(data)
expected_sql = <<-EOS
SELECT * FROM emp
WHERE
deptno IN (?, ?, ?)
AND age > ?
ORDER BY age DESC
EOS
merged.sql == expected_sql #=> true
merged.bound_variables #=> [10,20,30,35]
# use merged SQL and variables with any O-R Mapper you like (ex. Sequel)
require 'sequel'
DB = Sequel.connect('postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/mydb')
rows = DB.fetch(merged.sql, *merged.bound_variables).all

==== What TwoWaySQL intended to do
* TwoWaySQL is intended to be a small and simple module.
* TwoWaySQL respects SQL and its set-based operations. TwoWaySQL assists writing complex SQL with ease.
* TwoWaySQL is not a replacement of ActiveRecord,Sequel,or any other O-R Mappers. Instead, TwoWaySQL will work with O-R Mappers well as a SQL construction module.
==== What TwoWaySQL is not
TwoWaySQL is not
* an O-R Mapper
* a SQL Parser
* a framework
* a Prepared Statement
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* Interpolation comments
* Bind variable comment
* Embedded variable comment
* Directive comments
* IF comment
* ELSE comment
* BEGIN comment
* actual SQL comment
* parse options
* preserve_space
* preserve_comment
== SYNOPSIS:
NOTE: some of this section is based on docs for S2Dao[http://s2dao.seasar.org/en/s2dao.html#SQLBind]
=== Published Classes
TwoWaySQL::Template is the class you may only use. TwoWaySQL::Template acts as a Facade for this package, others are for internal use.
=== Basic Usage
==== Input
* TwoWaySQL-style SQL(string,file or anything like IO) to TwoWaySQL::Template.parse to create template object (note: template object is stateless and reentrant, so you can cache it)
* (Optionally) TwoWaySQL::Template.parse accepts Hash of parse options as second argument
* data object to the TwoWaySQL::Template#merge then TwoWaySQL will evaluate the data as name 'ctx'.
==== Output
* SQL String with placeholders (generally, '?' is used for placeholders)
* Array of bound variables for placeholders
=== SQL comment
Firstly, In TwoWaySQL, expressions are written within SQL comment such as within "/**/" and "--". SQL may still be executed since TwoWaySQL specific, non-SQL expressions are written within comments. As a best practice, it is better to first write and test SQL and then write expressions within comments.
To write actual comments in SQL, *insert a space* after "/*" before the comment string. For example, /* foo*/. TwoWaySQL will recognize the space(s) after the comment start ("/*") and treat the enclosed content as an actual comment.
=== Bind variable comment
Bind variable comment is used to bind value(s) to the SQL.
Literal to the right of bind variable comment is automatically replaced with a value.
Bind variable comment syntax is as follows:
/*variable_name*/Literal
TwoWaySQL may use bind variable as follows. In this case, value of ctx[:empno] is automatically set. Data object that is passed to TwoWaySQL::Template#merge is evaled as name 'ctx'.
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE empno = /*ctx[:empno]*/7788
===== usage
sql = "SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK' AND deptno = /*ctx[:deptno]*/20"
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql)
merged = template.merge(:job => "FOO", :deptno => 30)
merged.sql #=> "SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = ? AND deptno = ?"
merged.bound_variables #=> ["FOO", 30]
==== IN clause
To bind multiple values in an IN clause, you can also use bind variable comment as well.
IN /*argument name*/(...)
TwoWaySQL may use bind variable as follows. In this case, ctx[:names] is automatically replaced with placeholders associated with number of values in the data.
IN /*ctx[:names]*/('aaa', 'bbb')
acceptable argument for IN clause is an array-like object. Say, Object that respond_to 'to_ary'.
===== usage
sql = "SELECT * FROM emp WHERE deptno IN /*ctx[:deptnoList]*/(10, 20) ORDER BY ename"
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql)
merged = template.merge(:deptnoList => [30,40,50])
merged.sql #=> "SELECT * FROM emp WHERE deptno IN (?, ?, ?) ORDER BY ename"
merged.bound_variables #=> [30,40,50]
merged2 = template.merge(:deptnoList => [80])
merged2.sql #=> "SELECT * FROM emp WHERE deptno IN (?) ORDER BY ename"
merged2.bound_variables #=> [80]
==== LIKE
If you want to use "LIKE", you may write bind variables:
ename LIKE /*ctx[:ename]*/'foo'
Unfortunately, there is no special support for "LIKE". So, to use a wildcard character, add wildcard directly to the data. For example, to specify to include "COT", add wildcard character in the value as follows:
:ename => "%COT%"
==== Embedded variable comment
You can use Embedded variable comment to embed value directly (say without quoting or escaping) into the SQL as a string. Literal to the right of the Embedded variable comment will be replaced with value. Embedded variable comment has the following syntax:
/*$ctx[:variable]*/Literal
===== CAUTION:
Please note, Embedded variable comment has risk for SQL Injection. Like any other 'eval' usage of TwoWaySQL, Embedded variable comment evals the data in safe level 4. Therefore, dangerous actions in Ruby world (ex. system call, variable assignments, tainted strings) are never executed. However, this is not enough. Valid ruby string is still dangerous string as SQL fragments. Do NOT use user input or any other strings outside your code. If you use Embedded variable comment, you should carefully check the data and its origin.
===== usage
sql = "SELECT * FROM emp ORDER BY /*$ctx[:order_by]*/ename /*$ctx[:order]*/ASC"
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql)
merged = template.merge(:order_by => 'id, :order => 'DESC')
merged.sql #=> "SELECT * FROM emp ORDER BY id DESC"
merged.bound_variables #=> []
=== IF comment
To change SQL during execution based on a condition, use IF comments. IF comment has the following syntax:
/*IF condition*/ .../*END*/
An example of IF comment is as follows:
/*IF ctx[:foo]*/foo = /*ctx[:foo]*/'abc'/*END*/
When the condition returns a truthy value, TwoWaySQL treats statements in "/*IF*/" and "/*END*/" as active. In the above example, "foo = /*ctx[:foo]*/'abc'" will be output only when 'eval(ctx[:foo])' returns an truthy value.
==== usage
sql = "SELECT * FROM emp/*IF ctx[:job] */ WHERE job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK'/*END*/"
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql)
# active case
merged = template.merge(:job => 'MANAGER')
merged.sql #=> 'SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = ?'
merged.bound_variables #=> ['MANAGER']
# inactive case
ctx = {}
merged2 = template.merge(ctx)
merged2.sql #=> 'SELECT * FROM emp'
merged2.bound_variables #=> []
=== ELSE comment
You can use ELSE comment to activate statements when condition is false. Sn example of IF comment with ELSE is as follows.
/*IF ctx[:foo]*/foo = /*ctx[:foo]*/'abc'
-- ELSE foo IS NULL
/*END*/
In this case, when the eval(ctx[:foo]) returns an falsy value, string "foo IS NULL" will be active.
==== ELSE comment sample
sql = "SELECT * FROM emp WHERE /*IF ctx[:job]*/job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK'-- ELSE job IS NULL/*END*/"
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql)
# active case
merged = template.merge(:job => 'MANAGER')
merged.sql #=> 'SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = ?'
merged.bound_variables #=> ['MANAGER']
# inactive case
ctx = {}
merged2 = template.merge(ctx)
merged2.sql #=> 'SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job IS NULL'
merged2.bound_variables #=> []
=== BEGIN comment
BEGIN comment is used to not output WHERE clause when all IF comment in a WHERE clause, which does not include an ELSE, is false. BEGIN comment should used with IF comment.
BEGIN comment syntax is as follows:
/*BEGIN*/WHERE clause/*END*/
So, BEGIN comment example is as follows:
/*BEGIN*/WHERE
/*IF ctx[:job]*/job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK'/*END*/
/*IF ctx[:deptno]*/AND deptno = /*ctx[:deptno]*/20/*END*/
/*END*/
In the above example,
* when job and deptno are nil, WHERE clause will not be outputted.
* When ctx[:job] == nil and ctx[:deptno] != nil, then sql will "WHERE depno = ?".
* When ctx[:job] != nil and ctx[:deptno] == nil, then sql will "WHERE job = ?".
* When ctx[:job] != nil and ctx[:deptno] != nil, then sql will "WHERE job = ? AND depno = ?".
==== usage
sql = "SELECT * FROM emp/*BEGIN*/ WHERE /*IF ctx[:job]*/job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK'/*END*//*IF ctx[:deptno]*/ AND deptno = /*ctx[:deptno]*/20/*END*//*END*/"
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql)
# when data is empty (no param exists)
ctx = {}
merged = template.merge(ctx)
merged.sql #=> 'SELECT * FROM emp'
merged.bound_variables #=> []
# when :job param exists
merged2 = template.merge(:job => 'MANAGER')
merged2.sql #=> 'SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = ?'
merged2.bound_variables #=> ['MANAGER']
# when :job and :deptno param exists
ctx3 = {}
ctx3[:job] = "MANAGER"
ctx3[:deptno] = 20
merged3 = template.merge(ctx3)
merged3.sql #=> 'SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = ? AND deptno = ?'
merged3.bound_variables #=> ['MANAGER',20]
=== Parse Options
TwoWaySQL::Template.parse takes parse options as optional second argument. Acceptable parse options are kind_of Hash with available keys. Unknown options are just ignored.
* available parse option keys
* :preserve_space (default is true)
* :preserve_comment (default is false)
* :debug (internal use only)
==== :preserve_space (default is true)
Default is true. When true, parser preserves original whitespaces. When false, parser translates consecutive whitespaces to single whitespace. This flag is useful for log space saving.
sql = <<-EOS
SELECT
*
FROM
emp
WHERE
job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK'
AND deptno = /*ctx[:deptno]*/10
EOS
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql, :preserve_space => false)
merged = template.merge(:job => 'MANAGER', :deptno => 30)
merged.sql #=> "SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = ? AND deptno = ? "
merged.bound_variables #=> ["MANAGER", 30]
==== :preserve_comment (default is false)
Default is false. When true, parser preserves original actual comments. When false, parser skips actual comment, therefore parsed SQL does not contain actual comments.
sql = <<-EOS
SELECT
*
FROM
emp
/*
This is a
multiline comment
*/
WHERE
job = /*ctx[:job]*/'CLERK'
AND deptno = /*ctx[:deptno]*/10
EOS
template = TwoWaySQL::Template.parse(sql, :preserve_comment => true)
merged = template.merge(:job => 'MANAGER', :deptno => 30)
expected = <<-EOS
SELECT
*
FROM
emp
/*
This is a
multiline comment
*/
WHERE
job = ?
AND deptno = ?
EOS
merged.sql == expected #=> true
merged.bound_variables #=> ["MANAGER", 30]
