Can I know how to write this query in elixir?
SELECT DISTINCT
*
FROM
"recipes"
WHERE name ILIKE 'chicken%'
ORDER BY LOWER(name) ASC, created_on DESC;
I have two concerns
- Postgres returns the following error if lower function is used with DISTINCT
Query 1 ERROR: ERROR: for SELECT DISTINCT, ORDER BY expressions must appear in select list
LINE 6: ORDER BY LOWER(name) ASC, created_on DESC;
- I would like to assign this line
ORDER BY LOWER(name) ASC, created_on DESC;to a variable likesort_paramsin elixir and later use this variable in multiple places like^sort_params. Looks like elixir hasString.downcasewhich cannot be used like[desc: String.downcase(:name), desc: :created_on]. How to downcase in ecto? If we have to use fragment, can someone suggest an example that works for cases like my requirement here?
Thanks in advance ![]()

For complex ordering you’ll need a fragment
There’s an example in the docs showing how a fragment can be used with order_by:

Thanks for your response.
I tried to use fragment for the following query but I think I am not able to replicate the same query on Elixir. My syntax is probably wrong
Rather than passing the then/else output into order by, I would like to store it in a variable and reuse it in different part of the code. Like I would like to store the then/else output in a variable called sort_bys and pass it to order_by like order_by(^sort_bys) and pagination.
