Expand description

AST types representing various typed SQL expressions.

Almost all types implement either Expression or AsExpression.

The most common expression to work with is a Column. There are various methods that you can call on these, found in expression_methods.

You can also use numeric operators such as + on expressions of the appropriate type.

Any primitive which implements ToSql will also implement AsExpression, allowing it to be used as an argument to any of the methods described here.

Structs

Returned by the SqlLiteral::bind() method when binding a value to a fragment of SQL.
