You could just add tests for extra params in OR clauses. For example, instead of:
(str "SELECT ... main query stuff WHERE basic conditions" > (when date-range (str " AND dateUpdated >= ? AND dateUpdated < ?")) > (when qualifier " AND someColumn = ?")) > You do this: SELECT ... main query stuff WHERE basic conditions AND (? OR dateUpdated >= ? AND dateUpdated < ? AND (? OR someColumn = ?) Then instead of delegating to a bunch of different parameters, you just supply all the parameters all the time, using dummies where appropriate. (if date-range > (if qualifier > (query-with-date-range-and-qualifier db basic params (first date-range) > (second date-range) qualifier) > (query-with-date-range db basic params (first date-range) (second > date-range))) > (if qualifier > (query-with-qualifier db basic params qualifier) > (query-basic db basic params))) > Example: (query db basic params (boolean date-range) (or date-range (now)) (or date-range (now)) (boolean qualifier) (or qualifier "")) You can actually do better than this too, but it will be database specific. For the date range example, Postgres has functions that can handle null and will optimize your query quite intelligently: SELECT ... FROM orders WHERE date > GREATEST(MIN(date), ?) AND date < LEAST(MAX(date), ?) That's even better because the query can now specify min and max dates separately without a combinatoric explosion of queries. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
