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 associates two tables using the default 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 Example3()
        {

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

            // Defines a SQL statement, and adds an OR WHERE condition to associate two tables:
            // a.DepartmentID equal to b.DepartmentID
            sqlbuilder.Select(new string[] { "CourseID", "Title" })
                .From("Course", "a")
                .From("Department", "b")
                .Where("CourseID", SqlBinaryOperator.GreaterThan,
                      SqlBuilder.Parameter<int>("courid"))
                .OrWhere("a.DepartmentID", "b.DepartmentID");

            string sql = sqlbuilder.ToSqlString(_context);

            Console.WriteLine(sql);

            /*This code produces the following output:

            SELECT
            [CourseID],
            [Title]
            FROM [Course] AS [a] ,
            [Department] AS [b]
            WHERE ([CourseID] > @courid
            OR [a].[DepartmentID] = [b].[DepartmentID])
           */
        }
    }
}
