Usage

Temporary tables

Example:

User.select(:id, :email).temporary_table do |rel|
  rel.pluck(:id)
end

Pivot tables

Before using, you need to create the extension:

CREATE EXTENSION tablefunc

Example:

CREATE TABLE payments (id integer, amount integer, seller_id integer, created_at timestamp)
INSERT INTO payments
  VALUES (1, 1,  1, '2012-10-12 10:00 UTC'),
         (2, 3,  1, '2012-11-12 10:00 UTC'),
         (3, 5,  2, '2012-09-12 10:00 UTC'),
         (4, 7,  2, '2012-10-12 10:00 UTC'),
         (5, 11, 2, '2012-11-12 10:00 UTC'),
         (6, 13, 2, '2012-11-12 10:00 UTC')

Payment
  .select("SUM(amount) AS amount", :seller_id, "DATE_TRUNC('month', created_at) AS month")
  .group("seller_id, DATE_TRUNC('month', created_at)")
  .temporary_table do |rel|
    # :month     - for row
    # :seller_id - for column
    # :amount    - for value
    rel.pivot(:month, :seller_id, :amount)
end

expect(result.headers).to eq [nil, 1, 2]

expect(result.rows).to eq [
  [ Time.utc(2012, 9,  1), nil, 5  ],
  [ Time.utc(2012, 10, 1), 1,   7  ],
  [ Time.utc(2012, 11, 1), 3,   24 ],
]
