Is there a way to wrap a constant as a query? i.e. SELECT 1

[Vinicius Araujo]

this is what I did:

object One : Expression<String>() {
    override fun toQueryBuilder(queryBuilder: QueryBuilder) = queryBuilder { append("1") }
}

[Vinicius Araujo]

and use like slice(One)

There is intLiteral and intParam functions for that, but you have to declare some fake table, like DUAL in Mysql.

object DualTable : Table("DUAL") 

DualTable.slice(intLiteral(1)).selectAll()

@tapac it looks like the Query object will always append FROM, which I believe returns the literal value for each row. I am guessing that there is no object that adheres to Query that doesn't use FROM 😬

My initial instinct was to try wrapAsQuery { intLiteral(1) } 😄
