using System;

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

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

        public void Example()
        {

            // Declares SqlQueryBuilder.
            var sqlbuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();
            
            // Defines a SQL statement and groups the records by DepartmentID.
            sqlbuilder.Select("DepartmentID")
                .SelectRaw("Count(*)")
                .From("Course")
                .GroupBy("DepartmentID")
                .HavingRaw("Count(*) > 2");

            // Adds a GroupBy condition: Credits
            sqlbuilder.AsGroupBy().GroupBy("Credits");

            string sql = sqlbuilder.ToSqlString(_context);

            Console.WriteLine(sql);

            /*This code produces the following output:
