dbbase.column_types.WriteOnlyColumn.operate

WriteOnlyColumn.operate(op, *other, **kwargs)

Operate on an argument.

This is the lowest level of operation, raises NotImplementedError by default.

Overriding this on a subclass can allow common behavior to be applied to all operations. For example, overriding ColumnOperators to apply func.lower() to the left and right side:

class MyComparator(ColumnOperators):
    def operate(self, op, other):
        return op(func.lower(self), func.lower(other))
Parameters

  • op – Operator callable.

  • *other – the ‘other’ side of the operation. Will be a single scalar for most operations.

  • **kwargs – modifiers. These may be passed by special operators such as ColumnOperators.contains().
