Jeremy, I love the the dataset basics page, especially the table of methods! Also the "generated sql" additions to the README is super cool, very clear. Thank you!
One teeny thing caught my eyes: second sentence of the dataset basics, "... what gives Sequel most of it’s power.", i think you meant "its" instead of "it's" > Speaking of AR, it seems like a lot of people migrate to Sequel after > using AR, so a comparison page between AR and Sequel might get people > up to speed faster. I don't really mean "why you should use Sequel > instead", but some documentation of how they differ, equivalent Sequel/ > AR idioms, etc. Maybe also include AREL stuff? since that's gonna be the new thing and eveyrthing else is gonna deprecate it seems. -mooman On Apr 15, 3:55 pm, Jeremy Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > On Apr 14, 12:16 pm, Michael Lang <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > One of the biggest mistakes I've made is calling update dataset before > > adding a filter call. > > > That is, > > DB[:patients].update(:code => 5).filter(:chart => 1234) > > > is not the same as: > > DB[:patients].filter(:chart => 1234).update(:code => 5) > > > The select construct is so easy to mix up the order of things, its not too > > hard to imagine a beginner not knowing the real rules to ordering of various > > calls and their ramification.
