如何在没有支持表的情况下在 Rails 中创建只读模型

我想创建只读模型，这可能是一些复杂的结果 与任何直接表模型类关系不大的联接或聚合查询 我已经定义了。

例如想象中的 ActiveRecord::View 类

class B < ActiveRecord::View
    default_scope do
        find_by_sql <<-EOF
            select x.alpha alpha, y.a_id a_id from
            x.join y on x.id = y.id
        EOF     
    end

    belongs_to :a
end

class A < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :b
end

>> a = A.first
>> puts a.id

10

>> puts a.bs.to_sql

select x.alpha alpha, y.a_id a_id from
x.join y on x.id = y.id
where a_id = 10

我确信上面的内容或类似的内容是可用的，但我只是找不到它。

我发布了 Ruby GEM 来解决这个问题

验证行为的规范文件是

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_illusion'
require 'squeel'

TIMES = (ENV['N'] || 10000).to_i

require 'rubygems'
require "active_record"

conn = { :adapter => 'sqlite3', :database => ':memory:' }
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(conn)

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
    connection.create_table :users, :force => true do |t|
        t.string :name, :email
        t.timestamps
    end

    has_many :exhibits
end

class Exhibit < ActiveRecord::Base
    connection.create_table :exhibits, :force => true do |t|
        t.belongs_to :user
        t.string :name
        t.text :notes
        t.integer :ssn
        t.timestamps
    end

    belongs_to :user

    def look; attributes end
    def feel; look; user.name end

    def self.look(exhibits) exhibits.each { |e| e.look } end
    def self.feel(exhibits) exhibits.each { |e| e.feel } end
end
