Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the AsWhere method to get the existing WHERE condition and add a condition to it.

using SnapObjects.Data;
using System;

namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.ISqlJoinBuilderExamples
{
    public class AsWhereExample
    {
        private readonly SchoolContext _context;

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

        public void Example()
        {
            var sqlQueryBuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();

            // Defines a SQL statement to query the DepartmentID and Name values from the Department table 
            // and specifies the WHERE condition to "DepartmentID < 5".
            sqlQueryBuilder
                .Select("DepartmentID")
                .Select("Name")
                .From("Department")
                .WhereRaw("DepartmentID < 5");

            // Gets the current WHERE condition and adds a new condition: DepartmentID > 1.
            sqlQueryBuilder.AsWhere().AndWhereRaw("DepartmentID > 1");

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

            Console.WriteLine(sql);

            /*This code example produces the following output:           
               SELECT
                [DepartmentID],
                [Name]
               FROM[Department]
               WHERE([DepartmentID] < 5
                     AND[DepartmentID] > 1)
            */
        }
    }
