用esqueleto计数行

Question

I am trying to count the rows of an inner-join with Esqueleto (version 2.1.2.1). Unfortunately, my code doesn't compile and I don't understand why. I looked at the following examples of how to do this but couldn't figure out what I'm doing wrong: example1 , example2 .

My schema looks like this (simplified):

User
Game
  state
Player
  user UserId Maybe
  game GameId

Users can register on the site to play games. You can also play without registering. Hence, there is a separate table Player . A game has a state. It can be Ongoing , or some form of game-over. I now want to count all ongoing games that a user is playing in.

The following SQL-query does that just fine (for a fixed userId of 1):

SELECT COUNT (*)
FROM Player INNER JOIN Game
ON Player.game = Game.id
WHERE Player.user = 1 AND game.state = "Ongoing"

However, the following Esqueleto query does not compile:

[count1] <- runDB $ E.select                                    -- Line 25
                  $ E.from $ \(player `E.InnerJoin` game) -> do
                      E.on $ player^.PlayerGame E.==. game^.GameId
                      E.where_ $
                          player^.PlayerUser E.==. E.just (E.val userId) E.&&.
                          game^.GameState E.==. E.val MyGame.Ongoing
                      return (game, player)
                      return E.countRows                        -- Line 32

The error message reads like this:

             E.&&. game ^. GameState E.==. E.val MyGame.Ongoing;
           return (game, player);
           return E.countRows }

However, the exact same query works if I remove the countRows . Ie the following code compiles and does what I want it to do.

ongoing <- runDB $ E.select
                 $ E.from $ \(player `E.InnerJoin` game) -> do
                     E.on $ player^.PlayerGame E.==. game^.GameId
                     E.where_ $
                       player^.PlayerUser E.==. E.just (E.val userId) E.&&.
                       game^.GameState E.==. E.val MyGame.Ongoing
                     E.orderBy [E.desc $ game^.GameLastActionTime]
                     E.limit pagelen
                     E.offset $ max 0 $ (page1 - 1) * pagelen
                     return (game, player)

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

It turns out that the Esqueleto code above is correct. The error was in another part of the code where a lack of restrictions caused type-ambiguity.
