class ActiveRecord::Result

Active Record Result

This class encapsulates a result returned from calling #exec_query on any database connection adapter. For example:

result = ActiveRecord::Base.lease_connection.exec_query('SELECT id, title, body FROM posts')
result # => #<ActiveRecord::Result:0xdeadbeef>

# Get the column names of the result:
result.columns
# => ["id", "title", "body"]

# Get the record values of the result:
result.rows
# => [[1, "title_1", "body_1"],
      [2, "title_2", "body_2"],
      ...
     ]

# Get an array of hashes representing the result (column => value):
result.to_a
# => [{"id" => 1, "title" => "title_1", "body" => "body_1"},
      {"id" => 2, "title" => "title_2", "body" => "body_2"},
      ...
     ]

# ActiveRecord::Result also includes Enumerable.
result.each do |row|
  puts row['title'] + " " + row['body']
end

Public instance methods

[](idx)

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 148
def [](idx)
  hash_rows[idx]
end

each(&block)

Calls the given block once for each element in row collection, passing row as parameter. Each row is a Hash-like, read only object.

To get real hashes, use .to_a.each.

Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 128
def each(&block)
  if block_given?
    hash_rows.each(&block)
  else
    hash_rows.to_enum { @rows.size }
  end
end

empty?()

Returns true if there are no records, otherwise false.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 137
def empty?
  rows.empty?
end

includes_column?(name)

Returns true if this result set includes the column named name

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 113
def includes_column?(name)
  @columns.include? name
end

initialize_copy(other)

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 191
def initialize_copy(other)
  @rows = rows.dup
  @column_types = column_types.dup
  @hash_rows    = nil
end

last(n = nil)

Returns the last record from the rows collection.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 153
def last(n = nil)
  n ? hash_rows.last(n) : hash_rows.last
end

length()

Returns the number of elements in the rows array.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 118
def length
  @rows.length
end

to_a()

Alias for: to_ary.

to_ary()

Also aliased as: to_a.

Returns an array of hashes representing each row record.

Source code GitHub 
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/result.rb, line 142
def to_ary
  hash_rows
end
