Rails find_by_SQL with Rails - ruby-on-rails

I'm using a find_by_sql method to search users in my userstable.
is there a possibility to use rails code in the select statement?
User.find_by_sql ["SELECT DISTINCT
users.*
FROM
users
JOIN
clients_courses cc
ON
cc.client_id = users.client_id
LEFT JOIN
memberships m
ON
m.user_id = users.id AND m.course_id = cc.course_id
WHERE
cc.course_id = ?
AND
m.user_id IS NULL
AND
users.active = ?
AND
users.firstname LIKE ? or users.lastname LIKE ?
AND NOT IN ( RAILS CODE )", self.id, true, "#{search}%", "#{search}%"]
end
I Marked the position with RAILS CODE
I want to do someting linke this:
Membership.where("course_id = ?", self.id).users
is there a way to do this?

You can do this -
member_user_ids = []
Membership.where("course_id = ?", self.id).map{|membership| membership.users.map{|user| member_user_ids << user.id}}
# you might want to put a uniq! on member_user_ids
User.find_by_sql ["SELECT DISTINCT
users.*
FROM
users
JOIN
clients_courses cc
ON
cc.client_id = users.client_id
LEFT JOIN
memberships m
ON
m.user_id = users.id AND m.course_id = cc.course_id
WHERE
cc.course_id = ?
AND
m.user_id IS NULL
AND
users.active = ?
AND
users.firstname LIKE ? or users.lastname LIKE ?
AND users.id NOT IN ( #{member_user_ids.join(',')} )", self.id, true, "#{search}%", "#{search}%"]
You can also have a look at link which explains how to put array of strings in where clause.

How to use ActiveRecord for a sql query with subquery in FROM clause

Do you know how to translate a SQL query with a subquery in a FROM clause ?
Here is an example :
SELECT
*
FROM
cars
WHERE
cars.id IN (
SELECT
cars.user_id
FROM
cars AS cf, (SELECT
cars.user_id, MAX(consumption) AS consumption FROM
cars
GROUP BY
user_id) AS t1
WHERE
cars.consumption = t1.consumption
AND
cars.user_id = 2
AND
t1.user_id = cars.user_id)
Car.where('id IN (SELECT cars.user_id FROM cars AS cf, (SELECT cars.user_id, MAX(consumption) AS consumption FROM cars GROUP BY user_id) AS t1 WHERE cars.consumption = t1.consumption AND cars.user_id = :user_id AND t1.user_id = cars.user_id)', user_id: 2)

How do I change this query to return an association instead of an array in Rails and Postgres?

Suppose I have this query:
t.pool_tournament_matches
.where(status: "unstarted")
.joins("INNER JOIN pool_tournament_match_users ON pool_tournament_match_users.pool_tournament_match_id = pool_tournament_matches.id")
.joins("INNER JOIN users ON users.id = pool_tournament_match_users.user_id")
.group("pool_tournament_matches.id")
.select("pool_tournament_matches.*, COUNT(users.id) AS user_count")
.select {|m| m.user_count == 2}
The result does return the right matches but it's an array which does not work well with RABL template engine. What converts the query to an array is
.select {|m| m.user_count == 2}` I think.
How would I do this using SQL so that it will return an association and I can chain it further if needed.
I've tried:
t.pool_tournament_matches
.where(status: "unstarted")
.joins("INNER JOIN pool_tournament_match_users ON pool_tournament_match_users.pool_tournament_match_id = pool_tournament_matches.id")
.joins("INNER JOIN users ON users.id = pool_tournament_match_users.user_id")
.group("pool_tournament_matches.id")
.select("pool_tournament_matches.*, COUNT(users.id) = 2)
but it does not work.
t.pool_tournament_matches
.where(status: "unstarted")
.joins("INNER JOIN pool_tournament_match_users ON pool_tournament_match_users.pool_tournament_match_id = pool_tournament_matches.id")
.joins("INNER JOIN users ON users.id = pool_tournament_match_users.user_id")
.group("pool_tournament_matches.id")
.having("COUNT(users.id) = 2")
.select("pool_tournament_matches.*, COUNT(users.id) AS user_count")

Why I cannot use both ORDER BY and DISTINCT * in SQL?

I'm trying to do the following, and if I were to uncomment the distinct it will break. Also if I comment out the order and leave the distinct in, it will work.
Contestant.joins('INNER JOIN votes AS V ON V.contestant_id = contestants.id AND V.season_id = '+ season_number.to_s)
.joins('LEFT OUTER JOIN votes AS XV ON (XV.contestant_id = '+self.id.to_s+') AND (XV.tribal_council_key = V.tribal_council_key) AND XV.contestant_voted_for_id = V.contestant_voted_for_id')
.joins('INNER JOIN season_rosters ON season_rosters.season_id = V.season_id')
.where('V.is_jury_vote = (?) AND V.contestant_id <> (?) AND XV.tribal_council_key IS NOT NULL', :false, self.id)
.order('season_rosters.finished')
#.distinct
The error I get is below...
TinyTds::Error: Incorrect syntax near '*'.: EXEC sp_executesql N'SELECT DISTINCT *, __order FROM ( SELECT [contestants].*, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY season_rosters.finished ASC) AS __order, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY [contestants].* ORDER BY season_rosters.finished ASC) AS __joined_row_num FROM [contestants] INNER JOIN votes AS V ON V.contestant_id = contestants.id AND V.season_id = 6 LEFT OUTER JOIN votes AS XV ON (XV.contestant_id = 112) AND (XV.tribal_council_key = V.tribal_council_key) AND XV.contestant_voted_for_id = V.contestant_voted_for_id INNER JOIN season_rosters ON season_rosters.season_id = V.season_id WHERE (V.is_jury_vote = (''false'') AND V.contestant_id <> (112) AND XV.tribal_council_key IS NOT NULL) ) AS __sq WHERE __joined_row_num = 1 ORDER BY __order'
The issue is with this part:
SELECT DISTINCT *, __order
Try adding the required columns to your GROUP BY.
Contestant.joins('INNER JOIN votes AS V ON V.contestant_id = contestants.id AND V.season_id = '+ season_number.to_s)
.joins('LEFT OUTER JOIN votes AS XV ON (XV.contestant_id = '+self.id.to_s+') AND (XV.tribal_council_key = V.tribal_council_key) AND XV.contestant_voted_for_id = V.contestant_voted_for_id')
.joins('INNER JOIN season_rosters ON season_rosters.season_id = V.season_id')
.where('V.is_jury_vote = (?) AND V.contestant_id <> (?) AND XV.tribal_council_key IS NOT NULL', :false, self.id)
.order('season_rosters.finished')
.group('col1,col2,__order')
Also in your SQL error, order by is on a different column while in your code, it is on season_rosters.finished.

rails gem will_paginate on top of custom method not working

In my controller, my filter_with_params() method is causing a syntax error in postgres when I try and stack will_paginate on top of it.
In my controller I call:
#styles = Style.filter_with_params(params).paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 6)
Model method:
class Style < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.filter_with_params(params)
scoped = where("styles.item != ''")
if params[:t]
scoped = scoped.joins(:tags)
scoped = scoped.select("distinct styles.*, count(*) AS count")
scoped = scoped.where(tags: { name: params[:t] })
scoped = scoped.group('styles.id')
scoped = scoped.having("count(*) = #{params[:t].size}")
end
scoped
end
basically my filter method is looking for tags, and then i need to paginate on top of those results. Anyone with similar experience?
I'm using Rails 3 on this app
here is the postgres error
PG::Error: ERROR: syntax error at or near "distinct" LINE 1: SELECT COUNT(*) AS count_all, distinct styles.*, count(*) AS...
^
: SELECT COUNT(*) AS count_all, distinct styles.*, count(*) AS count, styles.id AS styles_id FROM "styles" INNER JOIN "tagizations" ON "tagizations"."style_id" = "styles"."id" INNER JOIN "tags" ON "tags"."id" = "tagizations"."tag_id" WHERE "tags"."name" IN ('engagement') AND (styles.polenza_item != '') GROUP BY styles.id HAVING count(*) = 1
Your SQL has a problem. You need to say distinct clause before the count ('count(*) as count_all'). That is, once you remove the first call to the count function, it should work.
SELECT distinct styles.*, count(*) AS count, styles.id AS styles_id FROM "styles" INNER JOIN "tagizations" ON "tagizations"."style_id" = "styles"."id" ...
You can test your query in your rails console:
>> sql = "SELECT distinct styles.*, count(*) AS count, styles.id AS styles_id..."
>> a = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql)
>> a[0]
Hope this helps.

NOT EXISTS SQL query in rails 3.2

I have an sql query like this:-
SELECT * FROM `permissions` join entities where NOT EXISTS (select
entity_id,permission_id from role_permissions where role_id=5 and
entities.id = role_permissions.entity_id and permissions.id =
role_permissions.permission_id)
I would like to get the corresponding rails query.
I have tried this.
Permission.joins("join entities").joins("LEFT OUTER JOIN role_permissions on
permission_id != permissions.id and entities.id != entity_id and
role_permissions.role_id= role_id").select("role_permissions.entity_id,role_permissions.role_id,
role_permissions.permission_id").group('role_permissions.entity_id,
role_permissions.permission_id')
But it doesn't works.
thanks

I have been particularly in love with EXISTS queries lately, precisely because it does not require you to fully join another table. As far as I know, you do have to explicitly write the SQL clause, but you can still make it work with Activerecord. You can even put this in a scope within a lambda block.
Permission.joins(:entities).where(<<-SQL
NOT EXISTS(
select
* from role_permissions where role_id=#{your_role_id} and
entities.id = role_permissions.entity_id
and permissions.id = role_permissions.permission_id
)
SQL
)
Try like this for a default SQL query:
sql = "SELECT some_field FROM `permissions` join entities where NOT EXISTS (select entity_id,permission_id from role_permissions where role_id=5 and entities.id = role_permissions.entity_id and permissions.id = role_permissions.permission_id)"
results = ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(sql)
results.each do |result|
#register_users << { some_field: result[0] }
end
Try this
UPDATED BASED ON FIRST COMMENT
Permission.joins(:entities).joins("LEFT OUTER JOIN role_permissions on
permission_id != permissions.id and entities.id != entity_id and
role_permissions.role_id= role_id")
.select("role_permissions.entity_id,role_permissions.role_id,
role_permissions.permission_id")
.group('role_permissions.entity_id, role_permissions.permission_id')
