Hi Tiago

With Thinking Sphinx v3, you can do the following within an index definition:

  set_property :sql_query_pre => ['CUSTOM SQL']

Keep in mind it must be an array of strings, even if there's only one string. 
If you put a loop around the index definition, then you could have this working 
easily enough without any need for patches.

And if you've not given TS v3 a go yet, make sure you read these first:
