Using OR in QueryBuildRange value

Posted on by Community Member

I have made q query and I want to use OR in the querybuildRange value. I need to use OR instead of AND.

The Querystring:

SELECT * FROM NCEmailMatrixTmp(NCEmailMatrixTmp_1) WHERE ((JobCode = '')) AND ((ItemId = N'FV47001-00'))

 while select documentTypeEmailMatrix
        order by Priority
        where   documentTypeEmailMatrix.DocumentType == _docType
        &&      documentTypeEmailMatrix.IsDefault    == false       
    {
        query = new Query();
        qbd = query.addDataSource(TableNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp));

   
        qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, JobCode));
        qbr.value(queryValue(documentTypeEmailMatrix.JobCode)); 
        
        qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, ItemId));
        qbr.value(queryValue(documentTypeEmailMatrix.ItemId));

                
        qr = new QueryRun(query);      
        
        while (qr.next())
        {
           
           qr.setRecord(emailMatrixTmp);
           return documentTypeEmailMatrix;
        }

RE: Using OR in QueryBuildRange value

Hi Mahyar,

You can use * in select statements as well, please refer for example

RE: Using OR in QueryBuildRange value

Hi Martin

You are right. But the reason why I use query franework is for entering wildcards such as * and ?.

I will try it. Thanks

RE: Using OR in QueryBuildRange value

If I didn't make any mistake, this is the same code refactored to a single select. As I explained, the loops are useless in your code. Also, using a single DB query is more efficient. And less code is easier to write, read, maintain and so on.

NCEDocumentTypeEmailMatrix emailMatrix; NCEmailMatrixTmp matrixTmp; select firstOnly emailMatrix where emailMatrix.DocumentType == _docType && emailMatrix.IsDefault == false exists join matrixTmp where matrixTmp.PostalCode == '' || matrixTmp.PostalCode == emailMatrix.PostalCode && matrixTmp.Id == '' || matrixTmp.Id == emailMatrix.Id && matrixTmp.JobCode == '' || matrixTmp.JobCode == emailMatrix.JobCode && matrixTmp.ItemId == '' || matrixTmp.ItemId == emailMatrix.ItemIdMatrix; if (emailMatrix) { return emailMatrix; }

You could still benefit from using the Query framework, because you could get rid of all the duplicate code by extracting it to a separate method, but without doing that, the select statement is much more readable.

Hi Martin

I did it this way. And it solved the problem.

while select documentTypeEmailMatrix order by Priority where documentTypeEmailMatrix.DocumentType == _docType && documentTypeEmailMatrix.IsDefault == false { query = new Query(); qbd = query.addDataSource(TableNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp)); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, PostalCode)); qbr.value(queryValue(documentTypeEmailMatrix.PostalCode)); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, PostalCode)); qbr.value(queryValue('')); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, Id)); qbr.value(queryValue(documentTypeEmailMatrix.Id)); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, Id)); qbr.value(queryValue('')); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, JobCode)); qbr.value(queryValue(documentTypeEmailMatrix.JobCode)); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, JobCode)); qbr.value(queryValue('')); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, ItemId)); qbr.value(queryValue(documentTypeEmailMatrix.ItemIdMatrix)); qbr = qbd.addRange(FieldNum(NCEmailMatrixTmp, ItemId)); qbr.value(queryValue('')); qr = new QueryRun(query); qr.prompt(); while (qr.next()) { qr.setRecord(emailMatrixTmp); return documentTypeEmailMatrix; } }

RE: Using OR in QueryBuildRange value

You code looks very strange. Why do you have two loops there, if you return from the function on the very first record, therefore no loop is needed? Why do you bother building the query if you already have a select statement there?

It seems that you can simply write single select statement, where you can easily use || operator, therefore your problem will disappear (together with most of your code).

You could use the advanced query expressions as explained here:
