Ambition: This Is Very Very Cool

Published 11 September 2007 by Aimred Devs

Ambition is a very cool Ruby to SQL API (built on ParseTree, itself also very very cool) for ActiveRecord allowing you to generate and execute SQL using methods from the Enumerable mixin. Some examples:

User.first “SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1" User.select { |m| m.name != ‘macgyver’ } “SELECT * FROM users WHERE users.`name` <> ’macgyver’" User.select { |u| u.email =~ /chris/ }.first “SELECT * FROM users WHERE (users.`email` REGEXP ‘chris’) LIMIT 1
