Class: Sequel::Schema::AlterTableGenerator

Class | Sequel::Schema::AlterTableGenerator
In: | lib/sequel_core/schema/generator.rb
Parent: | Object

Schema::AlterTableGenerator is an internal class that the user is not expected to instantiate directly. Instances are created by Database#alter_table. It is used to specify table alteration parameters. It takes a Database object and a block of operations to perform on the table, and gives the Database a table an array of operations, which the database uses to alter a table‘s description.

### Methods

add_column add_constraint add_foreign_key add_full_text_index add_index add_primary_key add_spatial_index add_unique_constraint drop_column drop_constraint drop_index new rename_column set_column_allow_null set_column_default set_column_type

### Attributes

operations | [R] | An array of DDL operations to perform

### Public Class methods

new(db, &block)

Set the Database object to which to apply the DDL, and evaluate the block in the context of this object.

### Public Instance methods

add_column(name, type, opts = {})

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

    215:         @operations << {:op => :add_column, :name => name, :type => type}.merge(opts)
    216:       end

add_constraint(name, *args, &block)

Add a constraint with the given name and args to the DDL for the table. See Generator#constraint.

         # File lib/sequel_core/schema/generator.rb, line 220
    220:       def add_constraint(name, *args, &block)
    221:         @operations << {:op => :add_constraint, :name => name, :type => :check, \
    222:           :constraint_type => :check, :check => block || args}
    223:       end

add_foreign_key(name, table, opts = {})

Add a foreign key with the given name and referencing the given table to the DDL for the table. See Generator#column for the available options.

You can also pass an array of column names for creating composite foreign keys. In this case, it will assume the columns exists and will only add the constraint.

NOTE: If you need to add a foreign key constraint to an existing column use the composite key syntax even if it is only one column.
