Hi Sean,
I haven't seen any good tutorials that will take you through a lot of
what you are talking. Honestly the documentation is pretty dang good,
but only to those that are familiar with ActiveRecord style ORMs.
Extending Sequel::Model with what you described is rather easily.
Warning I haven't tested the code, it might also not match your exact
requirements but it could be a place to start.
class Person < Sequel::Model
def self.search_by_last_name(letter)
where('last_name LIKE ?', 'letter%')
end
end
Person.search_by_last_name('b')
By defining a self method on a class you are saying that it is similar
to a @staticmethod method in Python.
Hope that helps.
