Class OrWrapper<DB, TB, T>

Change the output type of the expression.

This method call doesn't change the SQL in any way. This methods simply returns a copy of this OrWrapper with a new output type.

Returns an aliased version of the expression.

In addition to slapping as "the_alias" to the end of the SQL, this method also provides strict typing:

const result = await db
  .selectFrom('person')
  .select(eb =>
    eb('first_name', '=', 'Jennifer')
      .or('first_name', '=', 'Sylvester')
      .as('is_jennifer_or_sylvester')
  )
  .executeTakeFirstOrThrow()

// `is_jennifer_or_sylvester: SqlBool` field exists in the result type.
console.log(result.is_jennifer_or_sylvester)
Copy

The generated SQL (PostgreSQL):

select "first_name" = $1 or "first_name" = $2 as "is_jennifer_or_sylvester"
from "person"
Copy

Combines this and another expression using OR.

See or for examples.

Creates the OperationNode that describes how to compile this expression into SQL.

If you are creating a custom expression, it's often easiest to use the sql template tag to build the node:

class SomeExpression<T> implements Expression<T> {
  toOperationNode(): OperationNode {
    return sql`some sql here`.toOperationNode()
  }
}
