Examples

The following code example joins one table with another based on multiple OR conditions. It uses the OrOn method to add the OR condition.

using SnapObjects.Data;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.ISqlJoinOnAndOrExamples
{
    public class OrOnExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;

        public OrOnExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets data context.
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public void Example5()
        {
            var sqlQueryBuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();

            // Sets a query to get the largest DepartmentID.
            var sqlBuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();
            sqlBuilder.SelectRaw("max(DepartmentID)")
                .From("Department");

            // Gets DepartmentID values and Name values from the "Department" table, and Titles from the "Course" table.
            // Sets the condition to join the "Department" table and the "Course" table: 
            // Department.DepartmentID = Course.DepartmentID, or Department.DepartmentID equal to the largest DepartmentID returned by the query.               
            
            sqlQueryBuilder
                .Select("Department.DepartmentID")
                .Select("Department.Name")
                .Select("Course.Title")
                .From("Department")
                .Join("Course")
                .OnRaw("Department.DepartmentID = Course.DepartmentID")
                .OrOn("Department.DepartmentID", sqlBuilder);

            // Converts to raw SQL for the database corresponding to the data context.
            string sql = sqlQueryBuilder.ToSqlString(_context);

            Console.WriteLine(sql);
            
            /*This code example produces the following output:
