[feature request] support for array intersections for complex types
AmazingTurtle opened this issue · comments
This would definitely be cool, but I don't think it's practical. This isn't a simple predicate operation as with the simple array &&
. You have to join and process the array elements themselves in order to detect an intersection, and right now the query builder doesn't account for joins at all -- the idea being it's better to formalize a complex query with a view, script, or function, and decompose
the resultset into something friendlier. And that's without getting into wrapping it back up to return the original matching record, behavior with or
, and so forth.
If you don't need absolute maximum efficiency, you can check containment with a criteria object like {studios: [{name: 'Warner'}]}
, and use the or
key to do multiple tests. Or just use a script file! The query builder can't cover every eventuality, and this one's a lot more complicated than it might seem at first blush.
