How can I select from a raw string in objection orm

Question

I am trying to run a query from the results of another using with in the objection orm

ex:

Model.query().with(alias, query).select(columns).from(alias);

according to the Knex documentation which is linked from the objection docs , this should work fine. However, when I run the code, objection prepends the schema name to the alias and I get an error stating that relation schema.alias does not exist . I tried using raw but this did not help either.

ex:

Model.query().with(alias, query).select(columns).from(raw(alias));

is there a way for me to select the table/alias defined in the with method without objection prepending the schema to it?

Answer 1

The query method of the model I was using was overridden with code that specified the schema

ex:

class MyModel extends BaseModel {
  static query() {
     return super.query().withSchema(schema);
  }
}

To get around this issue I used the query method of the parent class directly rather than the overridden query method of the model I was using.

This solves my current problem, but does not answer the question of whether one could omit the prepended schema name in the from method.
