Examples

The following code example uses the Where method to specify the column and the operator to associate multiple tables.

using SnapObjects.Data;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.ISqlWhereBuilderExamples
{
    public class WhereExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;

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

        public void Example2()
        {

            // Declares SqlQueryBuilder.
            ISqlQueryBuilder sqlQueryBuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();

            // Specifies columns to select.
            string[] columns = { "CourseID", "Title" };

            // Specifies to use the SqlBinaryOperator.Equals operator for matching the values.
            sqlQueryBuilder.Select(columns)
                            .From("Course", "a")
                            .From("Department", "b")
                            .Where("a.DepartmentID",
                                    SqlBinaryOperator.Equals,
                                    "b.DepartmentID");

            // Shows the SQL statement.
            Console.WriteLine("The SQL statement: \n{0}",
                             sqlQueryBuilder.ToSqlString(_context));

            // Executes the SQL statement.
            var result =
                _context.SqlExecutor.Select<DynamicModel>(sqlQueryBuilder);

            /*This code produces the following output:

            The SQL statement:
