SqlBinaryOperator SnapObjects.Data.SqlBinaryOperator

An enumeration value of SqlBinaryOperator, which is the operator to test the two expressions on the left and right.

parameter SnapObjects.Data.ISqlParameter

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the OrWhere method to add an OR condition to the WHERE clause. In this example, the OR condition will have a dynamic value which is specified by an input parameter and use the greater than operator ">".

using SnapObjects.Data;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.ISqlWhereAndOrExamples
{
    public class OrWhereExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;

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

        public void Example2()
        {

            // Declares SqlQueryBuilder.
            var sqlbuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();

            // Defines a SQL statement, and adds an OR WHERE condition: DepartmentID > @deptid(parameter).
            sqlbuilder.Select("*")
                .From("Course")
                .Where("CourseID", SqlBinaryOperator.GreaterThan,
                        SqlBuilder.Parameter<int>("courid"))
                .OrWhere("DepartmentID", SqlBinaryOperator.GreaterThan,
                      SqlBuilder.Parameter<int>("deptid"));

            string sql = sqlbuilder.ToSqlString(_context);

            Console.WriteLine(sql);

            /*This code produces the following output:

            SELECT
            *
            FROM [Course]
            WHERE ([CourseID] > @courid
            OR [DepartmentID] > @deptid)
           */
        }
    }
