ColumnExpression

public protocol ColumnExpression : SQLExpression

Adopt the ColumnExpression protocol when you define a column type.

You can, for example, define a String-based column enum:

enum Columns: String, ColumnExpression {
    case id, name, score
}
let arthur = try Player.filter(Columns.name == "Arthur").fetchOne(db)

You can also define a genuine column type:

struct MyColumn: ColumnExpression {
    var name: String
    var sqlType: String
}
let nameColumn = MyColumn(name: "name", sqlType: "VARCHAR")
let arthur = try Player.filter(nameColumn == "Arthur").fetchOne(db)
