IQueryAndOrBuilder<TModel>.AndWhereNotExists(ISqlBuilder sqlBuilder) Method

.NET Standard 2.x

Adds the AND logical operator and a search condition to the WHERE clause; and uses the NOT EXISTS operator to test if the record returned from a subquery does not exist.

Namespace: SnapObjects.Data

Assembly: SnapObjects.Data.dll

Syntax

  IQueryAndOrBuilder<TModel> AndWhereNotExists(ISqlBuilder sqlBuilder);

Parameters

sqlBuilder SnapObjects.Data.ISqlBuilder

An ISqlBuilder object which represents a SQL subquery on the right of the NOT EXISTS operator.

Returns

IQueryAndOrBuilder<TModel>

Returns anIQueryAndOrBuilder<TModel> object which can be used to add more search conditions to the current WHERE clause.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the AndWhereNotExists method to add an AND NOT EXISTS condition to the WHERE clause. In this example, the NOT EXISTS condition specifies that the data must not exist in the result set of a subquery.

using Appeon.ApiDoc.Models.School;
using SnapObjects.Data;
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.IQueryAndOrBuilderExamples
{
    public class AndWhereNotExistsExample
    {
        private SchoolContext _context;
        
        public AndWhereNotExistsExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets Data Context
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public async Task<int> Example()
        {
            // Get a QueryBuilder.
            var Builder = _context.SqlModelMapper.GetQueryBuilder<Department>();
            
            // Defines a subquery.
            var subsqlbuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();
            subsqlbuilder.Select("1")
                .From("Department")
                .Where("departmentid", SqlBuilder.Parameter<int>("id"));
                
            var subsqlbuilder2 = new SqlQueryBuilder();
            subsqlbuilder2.Select("1")
                .From("Department")
                .Where("departmentid", SqlBuilder.Parameter<int>("id2"));
                
            // Specifies the WHERE EXIST condition:
            // the data exists in the result set of the subquery.
            Builder.WhereNotExists(subsqlbuilder)
                   .AndWhereNotExists(subsqlbuilder2);
                   
            var result = (await Builder.LoadAsync(3, 6)).ToList();
            
            if (result.Count != 0)
            {
                // If the results of the two sub-queries are true, the data can be loaded.
                Console.WriteLine("Both subquery results are true.");
            }
            else
            {
                // If one of the two subquery results is false, the data cannot be loaded.
                Console.WriteLine("The results of the two subqueries are not all true.");
            }
            
            return result.Count;
            
            /*This code example produces the following output:   
             
                Both subquery results are true.
            */
        }
