class Sequel::Schema::CreateTableGenerator

Add an unnamed constraint to the DDL, specified by the given block or args:

check(:num=>1..5) # CHECK num >= 1 AND num <= 5
check{num > 5} # CHECK num > 5

Add a column with the given name, type, and opts to the DDL.

column :num, :integer
# num INTEGER

column :name, String, :null=>false, :default=>'a'
# name varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'a'

inet :ip
# ip inet

You can also create columns via method missing, so the following are equivalent:

column :number, :integer
integer :number

The following options are supported:

:default

The default value for the column.

:deferrable

For foreign key columns, this ensures referential integrity will work even if referencing table uses a foreign key value that does not yet exist on referenced table (but will exist before the transaction commits). Basically it adds DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED on key creation. If you use :immediate as the value, uses DEFERRABLE INITIALLY IMMEDIATE.

:index

Create an index on this column. If given a hash, use the hash as the options for the index.

:key

For foreign key columns, the column in the associated table that this column references. Unnecessary if this column references the primary key of the associated table, except if you are using MySQL.

:null

Mark the column as allowing NULL values (if true), or not allowing NULL values (if false). If unspecified, will default to whatever the database default is.

:on_delete

Specify the behavior of this column when being deleted (:restrict, :cascade, :set_null, :set_default, :no_action).

:on_update

Specify the behavior of this column when being updated (:restrict, :cascade, :set_null, :set_default, :no_action).

:#primary_key

Make the column as a single primary key column. This should only be used if you have a single, nonautoincrementing primary key column.

:primary_key_constraint_name

The name to give the primary key constraint

:type

Overrides the type given as the argument. Generally not used by column itself, but can be passed as an option to other methods that call column.

:unique

Mark the column as unique, generally has the same effect as creating a unique index on the column.

:unique_constraint_name

The name to give the unique key constraint

Adds a named constraint (or unnamed if name is nil) to the DDL, with the given block or args. To provide options for the constraint, pass a hash as the first argument.

constraint(:blah, :num=>1..5)
# CONSTRAINT blah CHECK num >= 1 AND num <= 5
constraint({:name=>:blah, :deferrable=>true}, :num=>1..5)
# CONSTRAINT blah CHECK num >= 1 AND num <= 5 DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED

Add a foreign key in the table that references another table to the DDL. See column for available options.

foreign_key(:artist_id) # artist_id INTEGER
foreign_key(:artist_id, :artists) # artist_id INTEGER REFERENCES artists
foreign_key(:artist_id, :artists, :key=>:id) # artist_id INTEGER REFERENCES artists(id)
foreign_key(:artist_id, :artists, :type=>String) # artist_id varchar(255) REFERENCES artists(id)

Additional Options:

:foreign_key_constraint_name

The name to give the foreign key constraint

If you want a foreign key constraint without adding a column (usually because it is a composite foreign key), you can provide an array of columns as the first argument, and you can provide the :name option to name the constraint:

foreign_key([:artist_name, :artist_location], :artists, :name=>:artist_fk)
# ADD CONSTRAINT artist_fk FOREIGN KEY (artist_name, artist_location) REFERENCES artists

Add a full text index on the given columns to the DDL.

PostgreSQL specific options:

:index_type

Can be set to :gist to use a GIST index instead of the default GIN index.

:language

Set a language to use for the index (default: simple).

Microsoft SQL Server specific options:

:key_index

The KEY INDEX to use for the full text index.

True if the DDL includes the creation of a column with the given name.

Add an index on the given column(s) with the given options to the DDL. General options:

:name

The name to use for the index. If not given, a default name based on the table and columns is used.

:type

The type of index to use (only supported by some databases)

:unique

Make the index unique, so duplicate values are not allowed.

:where

Create a partial index (only supported by some databases)

PostgreSQL specific options:

:concurrently

Create the index concurrently, so it doesn’t block operations on the table while the index is being built.

:opclass

Use a specific operator class in the index.

Microsoft SQL Server specific options:

:include

Include additional column values in the index, without actually indexing on those values.

index :name
# CREATE INDEX table_name_index ON table (name)
index [:artist_id, :name]
# CREATE INDEX table_artist_id_name_index ON table (artist_id, name)

Add a column with the given type, name, and opts to the DDL. See column for available options.

Adds an autoincrementing primary key column or a primary key constraint to the DDL. To just create a constraint, the first argument should be an array of column symbols specifying the primary key columns. To create an autoincrementing primary key column, a single symbol can be used. In both cases, an options hash can be used as the second argument.

If you want to create a primary key column that is not autoincrementing, you should not use this method. Instead, you should use the regular column method with a :primary_key=>true option.

If an array of column symbols is used, you can specify the :name option to name the constraint.

Examples:

primary_key(:id)
primary_key([:street_number, :house_number], :name=>:some constraint_name)

The name of the primary key for this generator, if it has a primary key.

This object responds to all methods.

Add a spatial index on the given columns to the DDL.

Add a unique constraint on the given columns to the DDL.

unique(:name) # UNIQUE (name)

Supports the same :deferrable option as column. The :name option can be used to name the constraint.
