可以编写一个联合多个表的 Ecto 查询而不写原始 SQL 吗?

Possible to write an Ecto query that unions multiple tables without writing raw SQL?

背景:

我正在编写一个简单的 Q/A 网站。与 Whosebug 非常相似,在此站点中,用户可以 like/upvote 提出问题、回答或评论。

问题:

我正在努力编写一个 Ecto 查询,该查询可以 return 用户 liked/upvoted 的所有问题、答案或评论 liked/upvoted。

具体来说,我想编写一个查询:

  1. Returns 由特定用户作为单个列表投票的所有问题、评论和答案
  2. 问题、答案和评论列表按投票时间排序

这个查询似乎需要 UNION,根据我的理解,这是 not yet supported by ecto 2.0

因此,我想知道是否有人可以向我展示或指出在 Ecto 中处理此类查询的正确方向。感谢您的任何帮助。

以下是相关模型的架构。

...

schema "users" do
  ...

  has_many :answer_upvotes, AnswerUpvote
  has_many :comment_upvotes, CommentUpvote
  has_many :question_upvotes, QuestionUpvote

  many_to_many :upvoted_answers, Answer, join_through: AnswerUpvote
  many_to_many :upvoted_comments, Comment, join_through: CommentUpvote
  many_to_many :upvoted_questions, Question, join_through: QuestionUpvote

  timestamps
end

...

schema "answer_upvotes" do
  belongs_to :answer, Answer
  belongs_to :user, User

  timestamps
end

...

schema "comment_upvotes" do
  belongs_to :comment, Comment
  belongs_to :user, User

  timestamps
end

...

schema "question_upvotes" do
  belongs_to :question, Question
  belongs_to :user, User

  timestamps
end

...

schema "questions" do
  ...   

  belongs_to :user, User

  has_many :answers, Answer
  has_many :upvotes, QuestionUpvote

  many_to_many :upvoting_users, User, join_through: QuestionUpvote

  timestamps
end

...

schema "answers" do
  ...

  belongs_to :question, Question
  belongs_to :user, User

  has_many :comments, Comment
  has_many :upvotes, AnswerUpvote

  many_to_many :upvoting_users, User, join_through: AnswerUpvote

  timestamps
end

...

schema "comments" do
  ...

  belongs_to :answer, Answer
  belongs_to :user, User

  has_many :upvotes, CommentUpvote

  many_to_many :upvoting_users, User, join_through: CommentUpvote

  timestamps
end

编辑

我可以编写一个查询来按投票日期分别对问题、答案或项目进行排序。

例如:

upvoted_answers_query =
  from answer in Answer,
    join: upvote in assoc(answer, :upvotes), where: upvote.user_id == ^user.id,
    order_by: upvote.inserted_at
    select: answer

但我不确定如何编写一个单一的 Ecto 查询,无需使用联合或编写原始 SQL。

目前不支持,但有一个开放的工单:https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto/issues/1549

Ecto v3.0.0 (2018-10-29) 添加了对 unionunion_all.

的支持

来自文档的示例:

supplier_query = from s in Supplier, select: s.city
from c in Customer, select: c.city, union: ^supplier_query
