Flag should be searchable bitwise

[maxsum-corin]

This does not work for me (I'm using MS SQL Server) because the operator & doesn't return a boolean result (it's a number). I am using "& #{value} =" instead of '&'.

I would like to see the addition of a :has operator to the adapter(s).

Note that my definition is different to yours ("role" & ? = ? cf. "role" & ? <> 0). I am interpreting User.all('role.hasflag' => [:moderator, :editor]) as "all users that have both moderator and editor roles" as opposed to "all users that have either moderator and editor roles."

Edit: I made a new version of your pastebin: http://pastebin.com/Bak81f2Q

Here is a more complete version of comparison_statement for Flags that handles all operators

      column_name = property_to_column_name(subject, qualify)
      value = value.inject(0, :+) if value.is_a?(Array)
      case comparison.slug
      when :eql then "#{column_name} = #{value}"
      when :gt then "#{column_name} & #{value} = #{value} AND #{column_name} != #{value}"
      when :gte then "#{column_name} & #{value} = #{value}"
      when :in, :like then value == 0 ? "TRUE" : "#{column_name} & #{value} != 0"
      when :lt then "#{column_name} & #{value} != #{value}"
      when :lte then "#{column_name} & #{value} <= #{value}"
      else 'FALSE'
      end
