I agree that the proposed syntax is a bit quirky. The thought was
always to have the functions adapter-specific. Ie. dayofweek is a
native mysql and postgres function, but in sqlite we would convert it
to something like STRFTIME(created_at, 'D') where D is weekday. Don't
remember the exact function in sqlite, but you get the idea.
But as I mentioned to, when using this with ambition we can create
something truly beautiful. Most of the date-methods, string-methods,
and operators etc can be translated in ambition, so our queries can be
extremely versatile.
User.all{|u| u.name.length >= 10 && (u.born_at.year - Date.today.year)
> 18 } etc..
So if we find a decent syntax you're good to go? :-)
