Limitations & Gotchas
Custom queries has some limitations:
Sometimes you want to add a CTE to the top of a raw query. Something like
WITH t AS (SELECT * FROM other_table). But we use this technique to inject table aliasing as well, which means that when you add a WITH ...., Postgres will complain about an unexpected word WITH.Workaround:
You can hack around this issue by matching the syntax we use. When we build your query, it looks like this:
WITH
table_alias_1 AS (...),
table_alias_2 AS (...),
table_alias_3 AS (...)
${your query here}
So instead of setting your query as
WITH alias AS (...) SELECT * FROM ... you should change your raw query to look like:, your_custom_table_alias AS (...) --- Note the leading , to make the injection work
SELECT *
FROM your_custom_table_alias
WHERE ...
Note: This isn't required if using the Knex ORM query builder. This is only needed for running `raw` queries.
