using SnapObjects.Data;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.ISqlFromBuilderExamples
{
    public class FromExample
    {
        private SchoolContext _context;

        public FromExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets the Data Context
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public void Example3()
        {

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

            // Builds a SQL statement to set the alias of the "Department" table to "d";
            // and retrieve all the records of the "name", "budget", and "startdate" columns from "Department".
            sqlbuilder.Select(new string[] { "d.name",
                "d.budget",
                "d.startdate" })
                .From("Department", "d");

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

            Console.WriteLine(sql);
            
            /*This code produces the following output:
            
            SELECT
            [d].[name],
            [d].[budget],
            [d].[startdate]
            FROM [Department] AS [d]    
            */
        }
