    Examples

    The following code example uses the Where method to specify to match the column value with the result set of a SQL subquery.

    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 Example5()
            {
    
                // Declares SqlQueryBuilder.
                ISqlQueryBuilder sqlQueryBuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();
    
                // Defines a subquery.
                ISqlQueryBuilder deptSubQuery = new SqlQueryBuilder();
                deptSubQuery.Select("DepartmentID")
                    .From("Department")
                    .Where("Name", SqlBuilder.Parameter<string>("deptName"));
    
                // Specifies the columns to select
                string[] columns = { "CourseID", "Title" };
    
                // Defines a SQL statement, and specifies the WHERE condition:
                // the DepartmentID value equal to the result set of a subquery.
                sqlQueryBuilder.Select(columns)
                    .From("Course", "a")
                    .Where("a.DepartmentID", deptSubQuery);
    
                // Shows the SQL statement.
                Console.WriteLine("The SQL statement: \n{0}",
                                 sqlQueryBuilder.ToSqlString(_context));
    
                // Executes the SQL statement.
                string deptname = "Engineering";
                var courses =
                    _context.SqlExecutor.Select<DynamicModel>(sqlQueryBuilder, deptname);
    
                Console.WriteLine();
                Console.WriteLine("Title (first row) : {0}.",
                    courses[0].GetValue("Title"));
    
                /*This code produces the following output:
    
                The SQL statement:
