Struct Identifier 

pub struct Identifier { /* private fields */ }

SQL identifier with optional qualification and alias.

Quoting is determined by the Expressive<T> impl — each backend renders with its own quote style (" for PostgreSQL/SQLite, ` for MySQL). This means Identifier is quote-agnostic; the quoting happens only when .expr() is called for a specific type.

Warning: Identifier names are not escaped for embedded quote characters. Do not pass untrusted user input as identifier names — this is intended for code-defined table/column names only.

Examples

use vantage_sql::primitives::identifier::ident;

// Simple column — quoting depends on which Expressive<T> is used
let expr = mysql_expr!("SELECT {} FROM {}", (ident("name")), (ident("product")));

// Qualified (table.column)
let expr = mysql_expr!("SELECT {}", (ident("name").dot_of("u")));

// With alias
let expr = mysql_expr!("SELECT {}", (ident("name").with_alias("n")));

Implementations

impl Identifier

pub fn new(name: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Single identifier: name.

pub fn dot_of(self, prefix: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Prepends a qualifier: ident("name").dot_of("u") → u.name. Chaining adds further left: ident("col").dot_of("t").dot_of("s") → s.t.col.

pub fn with_alias(self, alias: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Adds an AS alias.
