sql(sql_string, *positional_binds, **named_binds)
Wrap a known-safe SQL string for passing to query methods, e.g.
Post.order(Arel.sql("REPLACE(title, 'misc', 'zzzz') asc")).pluck(:id)
Great caution should be taken to avoid SQL injection vulnerabilities. This method should not be used with unsafe values such as request parameters or model attributes.
Take a look at the security guide for more information.
To construct a more complex query fragment, including the possible use of user-provided values, the sql_string may contain ? and :key placeholders, corresponding to the additional arguments. Note that this behavior only applies when bind value parameters are supplied in the call; without them, the placeholder tokens have no special meaning, and will be passed through to the query as-is.
