quote(value, column = nil)

Quotes the column value to help prevent SQL injection attacks.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 8
def quote(value, column = nil)
  # records are quoted as their primary key
  return value.quoted_id if value.respond_to?(:quoted_id)

  case value
  when String, ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars
    value = value.to_s
    return "'#{quote_string(value)}'" unless column

    case column.type
    when :binary then "'#{quote_string(column.string_to_binary(value))}'"
    when :integer then value.to_i.to_s
    when :float then value.to_f.to_s
    else
      "'#{quote_string(value)}'"
    end

  when true, false
    if column && column.type == :integer
      value ? '1' : '0'
    else
      value ? quoted_true : quoted_false
    end
    # BigDecimals need to be put in a non-normalized form and quoted.
  when nil        then "NULL"
  when BigDecimal then value.to_s('F')
  when Numeric, ActiveSupport::Duration then value.to_s
  when Date, Time then "'#{quoted_date(value)}'"
  when Symbol     then "'#{quote_string(value.to_s)}'"
  when Class      then "'#{value.to_s}'"
  else
    "'#{quote_string(YAML.dump(value))}'"
  end
end
quote_column_name(column_name)

Quotes the column name. Defaults to no quoting.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 89
def quote_column_name(column_name)
  column_name
end
quote_string(s)

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

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 84
def quote_string(s)
  s.gsub(/\/, '\&\&').gsub(/'/, "''") # ' (for ruby-mode)
end
quote_table_name(table_name)

Quotes the table name. Defaults to column name quoting.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 94
def quote_table_name(table_name)
  quote_column_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 and mysql2 where table.column can be used to resolve ambiguity.

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

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 106
def quote_table_name_for_assignment(table, attr)
  quote_table_name("#{table}.#{attr}")
end
quoted_date(value)
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 118
def quoted_date(value)
  if value.acts_like?(:time)
    zone_conversion_method = ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone == :utc ? :getutc : :getlocal

    if value.respond_to?(zone_conversion_method)
      value = value.send(zone_conversion_method)
    end
  end

  value.to_s(:db)
end
quoted_false()
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 114
def quoted_false
  "'f'"
end
quoted_true()
# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 110
def quoted_true
  "'t'"
end
type_cast(value, column)

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.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/quoting.rb, line 46
def type_cast(value, column)
  if value.respond_to?(:quoted_id) && value.respond_to?(:id)
    return value.id
  end

  case value
  when String, ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars
    value = value.to_s
    return value unless column

    case column.type
    when :binary then value
    when :integer then value.to_i
    when :float then value.to_f
    else
      value
    end

  when true, false
    if column && column.type == :integer
      value ? 1 : 0
    else
      value ? 't' : 'f'
    end
    # BigDecimals need to be put in a non-normalized form and quoted.
  when nil        then nil
  when BigDecimal then value.to_s('F')
  when Numeric    then value
  when Date, Time then quoted_date(value)
  when Symbol     then value.to_s
  else
    to_type = column ? " to #{column.type}" : ""
    raise TypeError, "can't cast #{value.class}#{to_type}"
  end
end
