Motivation / Background
Fixes #50078
This Pull Request has been created because I needed to sort a column ASC with nulls last with a MySQL database and wanted to avoid using an SQL fragment to achieve this. I discovered that Arel supports this for all databases apart from MySQL. When investigating the MySQL implementation, I noticed inconsistencies with how it is implemented.
Originally, I was just aiming to make the functionality consistent, but then had a go at implementing the missing functionality.
Detail
This Pull Request changes the implementation of
.nulls_first()
and.nulls_last()
for MySQL databases. These methods now work as designed.Checklist
