    Assembly: SnapObjects.Data.dll

    Syntax

      ISqlWhereAndOr WhereExists(ISqlBuilder sqlBuilder);
    

    Parameters

    sqlBuilder SnapObjects.Data.ISqlBuilder

    An ISqlBuilder object which represents a SQL subquery on the right of the EXISTS operator.

    Returns

    SnapObjects.Data.ISqlWhereAndOr

    Returns the ISqlWhereAndOr object which can be used to add more search conditions to the current WHERE clause.

    Examples

    The following code example uses the WhereExists method to specify that the "Title" value of the "Course" table must exist in the result set of the subquery.

    using SnapObjects.Data;
    using System;
    
    namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.ISqlWhereBuilderExamples
    {
        public class WhereExistsExample
        {
            private readonly SchoolContext _context;
    
            public WhereExistsExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
            {
                // Sets data context.
                _context = dataContext;
            }
    
            public void Example()
            {
    
                // Declares SqlQueryBuilder.
                var sqlbuilder = new SqlQueryBuilder();
    
                // Defines a subquery.
                var deptsql = new SqlQueryBuilder();
                deptsql.Select("DepartmentID")
                    .From("Department", "d")
                    .Where("d.DepartmentID", "c.DepartmentID")
                    .AndWhere("d.Name", SqlBuilder.Parameter<string>("id"));
    
                // Defines a SQL statement, and specifies the WHERE EXIST condition:
                // the data exists in the result set of the subquery.
                sqlbuilder.Select("Title")
                    .From("Course", "c")
                    .WhereExists(deptsql);
    
                string sql = sqlbuilder.ToSqlString(_context);
    
                Console.WriteLine(sql);
    
                /*This code produces the following output:
