arel,如何加入

Question

特定

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :products, :order => 'name ASC'
end

使用Rails 3堆栈,如何查询"拥有"产品的所有类别？

Answer 1

在ARel(非ActiveRecord)中,我们将执行以下操作:

p = Arel::Table.new :products    # Base Rel-var
c = Arel::Table.new :categories  # Base Rel-var

predicate = p[:category_id].eq( c[:id] ) # for equality predicate

p.join(c)                   # Natural join
  .on( predicate )          # Equi-Join
  .group( p[:category_id] ) # Grouping expression to get distinct categories
  .project( c[:id] )        # Project the distinct category IDs of the derived set.

Answer 2

Category.joins(:products).select("distinct categories.*").all
