What am I missing?
I am trying to ‘translate’ following SQL query to ecto:
SELECT g.groupname, g.id FROM groups AS g
LEFT OUTER JOIN unnest ('{class3, class1, class11, latecomer}'::text[]) WITH ORDINALITY sort(sort_order, ord)
ON g.groupname = sort_order
ORDER BY ord
Result:
My try using ecto:
from g in Backend.Schema.Group,
left_join:
sort in fragment(
"unnest ('{kindergarden, class1, class2, class3, class4}'::text[]) WITH ORDINALITY sort(name, ord)"
),
on: g.groupname == sort.name,
order_by: sort.ord,
select: {g.groupname, g.id}
Gives the following:
** (Postgrex.Error) ERROR 42601 (syntax_error) syntax error at or near "AS"
query: SELECT g0."groupname", g0."id" FROM "groups" AS g0
LEFT OUTER JOIN unnest ('{kindergarden, class1, class2, class3, class4}'::text[]) WITH ORDINALITY sort(name, ord) AS f1
ON g0."groupname" = f1."name" ORDER BY f1."ord"
I tried to use as: :sort but this generates the same query…

I had to add
select * fromto my fragment to avoid that error if ecto adds anASto the generate query.Terbium-135
Thanks for the link. Had a quick look and @LostKobrakai 's solution looks very similar to mine.
I will have a closer look soon!

This isn’t exactly what you are doing, but @LostKobrakai has a post on using unnest for sorting that you might want to check out and see if it unblocks you.
