#sanitize_sql(condition)

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/sanitization.rb', line 41

alias :sanitize_sql :sanitize_sql_for_conditions

#sanitize_sql_array(ary)

Accepts an array of conditions. The array has each value sanitized and interpolated into the SQL statement. If using named bind variables in SQL statements where a colon is required verbatim use a backslash to escape.

sanitize_sql_array(["name=? and group_id=?", "foo'bar", 4])
# => "name='foo''bar' and group_id=4"

sanitize_sql_array(["name=:name and group_id=:group_id", name: "foo'bar", group_id: 4])
# => "name='foo''bar' and group_id=4"

sanitize_sql_array(["TO_TIMESTAMP(:date, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH12\\:MI\\:SS')", date: "foo"])
# => "TO_TIMESTAMP('foo', 'YYYY/MM/DD HH12:MI:SS')"

sanitize_sql_array(["name='%s' and group_id='%s'", "foo'bar", 4])
# => "name='foo''bar' and group_id='4'"

Note that this sanitization method is not schema-aware, hence won’t do any type casting and will directly use the database adapter’s quote method. For MySQL specifically this means that numeric parameters will be quoted as strings to prevent query manipulation attacks.

sanitize_sql_array(["role = ?", 0])
# => "role = '0'"
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/sanitization.rb', line 163

def sanitize_sql_array(ary)
  statement, *values = ary
  if values.first.is_a?(Hash) && /:\w+/.match?(statement)
    replace_named_bind_variables(statement, values.first)
  elsif statement.include?("?")
    replace_bind_variables(statement, values)
  elsif statement.blank?
    statement
  else
    statement % values.collect { |value| connection.quote_string(value.to_s) }
  end
end

#sanitize_sql_for_assignment(assignments, default_table_name = table_name)

Accepts an array or hash of SQL conditions and sanitizes them into a valid SQL fragment for a SET clause.

sanitize_sql_for_assignment(["name=? and group_id=?", nil, 4])
# => "name=NULL and group_id=4"

sanitize_sql_for_assignment(["name=:name and group_id=:group_id", name: nil, group_id: 4])
# => "name=NULL and group_id=4"

Post.sanitize_sql_for_assignment({ name: nil, group_id: 4 })
# => "`posts`.`name` = NULL, {posts}.`group_id` = 4"

This method will NOT sanitize a SQL string since it won’t contain any conditions in it and will return the string as is.

sanitize_sql_for_assignment("name=NULL and group_id='4'")
# => "name=NULL and group_id='4'"

Note that this sanitization method is not schema-aware, hence won’t do any type casting and will directly use the database adapter’s quote method. For MySQL specifically this means that numeric parameters will be quoted as strings to prevent query manipulation attacks.

sanitize_sql_for_assignment(["role = ?", 0])
# => "role = '0'"
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/sanitization.rb', line 68

def sanitize_sql_for_assignment(assignments, default_table_name = table_name)
  case assignments
  when Array; sanitize_sql_array(assignments)
  when Hash;  sanitize_sql_hash_for_assignment(assignments, default_table_name)
  else        assignments
  end
end

#sanitize_sql_for_conditions(condition) Also known as: #sanitize_sql

Accepts an array of SQL conditions and sanitizes them into a valid SQL fragment for a WHERE clause.

sanitize_sql_for_conditions(["name=? and group_id=?", "foo'bar", 4])
# => "name='foo''bar' and group_id=4"

sanitize_sql_for_conditions(["name=:name and group_id=:group_id", name: "foo'bar", group_id: 4])
# => "name='foo''bar' and group_id='4'"

sanitize_sql_for_conditions(["name='%s' and group_id='%s'", "foo'bar", 4])
# => "name='foo''bar' and group_id='4'"

This method will NOT sanitize a SQL string since it won’t contain any conditions in it and will return the string as is.

sanitize_sql_for_conditions("name='foo''bar' and group_id='4'")
# => "name='foo''bar' and group_id='4'"

Note that this sanitization method is not schema-aware, hence won’t do any type casting and will directly use the database adapter’s quote method. For MySQL specifically this means that numeric parameters will be quoted as strings to prevent query manipulation attacks.

sanitize_sql_for_conditions(["role = ?", 0])
# => "role = '0'"
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/sanitization.rb', line 33

def sanitize_sql_for_conditions(condition)
  return nil if condition.blank?

  case condition
  when Array; sanitize_sql_array(condition)
  else        condition
  end
end

#sanitize_sql_for_order(condition)

Accepts an array, or string of SQL conditions and sanitizes them into a valid SQL fragment for an ORDER clause.

sanitize_sql_for_order([Arel.sql("field(id, ?)"), [1,3,2]])
# => "field(id, 1,3,2)"

sanitize_sql_for_order("id ASC")
# => "id ASC"
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/sanitization.rb', line 84

def sanitize_sql_for_order(condition)
  if condition.is_a?(Array) && condition.first.to_s.include?("?")
    disallow_raw_sql!(
      [condition.first],
      permit: connection.column_name_with_order_matcher
    )

    # Ensure we aren't dealing with a subclass of String that might
    # override methods we use (e.g. Arel::Nodes::SqlLiteral).
    if condition.first.kind_of?(String) && !condition.first.instance_of?(String)
      condition = [String.new(condition.first), *condition[1..-1]]
    end

    Arel.sql(sanitize_sql_array(condition))
  else
    condition
  end
end

#sanitize_sql_hash_for_assignment(attrs, table)

Sanitizes a hash of attribute/value pairs into SQL conditions for a SET clause.

sanitize_sql_hash_for_assignment({ status: nil, group_id: 1 }, "posts")
# => "`posts`.`status` = NULL, {posts}.`group_id` = 1"
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/sanitization.rb', line 107

def sanitize_sql_hash_for_assignment(attrs, table)
  c = connection
  attrs.map do |attr, value|
    type = type_for_attribute(attr)
    value = type.serialize(type.cast(value))
    "#{c.quote_table_name_for_assignment(table, attr)} = #{c.quote(value)}"
  end.join(", ")
end

#sanitize_sql_like(string, escape_character = "\\")

Sanitizes a string so that it is safe to use within an SQL LIKE statement. This method uses escape_character to escape all occurrences of itself, “_” and “%”.

sanitize_sql_like("100% true!")
# => "100\\% true!"

sanitize_sql_like("snake_cased_string")
# => "snake\\_cased\\_string"

sanitize_sql_like("100% true!", "!")
# => "100!% true!!"

sanitize_sql_like("snake_cased_string", "!")
# => "snake!_cased!_string"
[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activerecord/lib/active_record/sanitization.rb', line 131

def sanitize_sql_like(string, escape_character = "\")
  if string.include?(escape_character) && escape_character != "%" && escape_character != "_"
    string = string.gsub(escape_character, '\0\0')
  end

  string.gsub(/(?=[%_])/, escape_character)
end
