Active Record Connection Adapters Quoting

Public instance methods

quote(value)

Quotes the column value to help prevent SQL injection attacks.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 72
def quote(value)
  case value
  when String, Symbol
    "'#{quote_string(value.to_s)}'"
  when true       then quoted_true
  when false      then quoted_false
  when nil        then "NULL"
  # BigDecimals need to be put in a non-normalized form and quoted.
  when BigDecimal then value.to_s("F")
  when Numeric then value.to_s
  when Type::Binary::Data then quoted_binary(value)
  when Type::Time::Value then "'#{quoted_time(value)}'"
  when Date, Time then "'#{quoted_date(value)}'"
  when Class      then "'#{value}'"
  else
    if value.class.name == "ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars"
      "'#{quote_string(value.to_s)}'"
    else
      raise TypeError, "can't quote #{value.class.name}"
    end
  end
end

quote_column_name(column_name)

Quotes the column name.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 145
def quote_column_name(column_name)
  self.class.quote_column_name(column_name)
end

quote_string(s)

Quotes a string, escaping any ‘ (single quote) and \ (backslash) characters.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 140
def quote_string(s)
  s.gsub("\\", '\&\&').gsub("'", "''") # ' (for ruby-mode)
end

quote_table_name(table_name)

Quotes the table name.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 150
def quote_table_name(table_name)
  self.class.quote_table_name(table_name)
end

quote_table_name_for_assignment(table, attr)

Override to return the quoted table name for assignment. Defaults to table quoting.

This works for MySQL where table.column can be used to resolve ambiguity.

We override this in the sqlite3 and postgresql adapters to use only the column name (as per syntax requirements).

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 162
def quote_table_name_for_assignment(table, attr)
  quote_table_name("#{table}.#{attr}")
end

quoted_date(value)

Quote date/time values for use in SQL input. Includes microseconds if the value is a Time responding to usec.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 193
def quoted_date(value)
  if value.acts_like?(:time)
    if default_timezone == :utc
      value = value.getutc if !value.utc?
    else
      value = value.getlocal
    end
  end

  result = value.to_fs(:db)
  if value.respond_to?(:usec) && value.usec > 0
    result << "." << sprintf("%06d", value.usec)
  else
    result
  end
end

quoted_false()

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 183
def quoted_false
  "FALSE"
end

quoted_true()

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 175
def quoted_true
  "TRUE"
end

type_cast(value)

Cast a value to a type that the database understands. For example, SQLite does not understand dates, so this method will convert a Date to a String.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 98
def type_cast(value)
  case value
  when Symbol, Type::Binary::Data
    value.to_s
  when true       then unquoted_true
  when false      then unquoted_false
  # BigDecimals need to be put in a non-normalized form and quoted.
  when BigDecimal then value.to_s("F")
  when nil, Numeric, String then value
  when Type::Time::Value then quoted_time(value)
  when Date, Time then quoted_date(value)
  else
    if value.class.name == "ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars"
      value.to_s
    else
      raise TypeError, "can't cast #{value.class.name}"
    end
  end
end

unquoted_false()

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 187
def unquoted_false
  false
end

unquoted_true()

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 179
def unquoted_true
  true
end
