Select class

Level: advanced

Terrasoft.Core.DB namespace.

The Terrasoft.Core.DB.Select class builds queries to select records in a Creatio database table. As a result of creating and configuring an instance of this class, Creatio will build a SELECT SQL query. You can add columns, filters, and restriction conditions to the query. The query results are returned as an instance that implements the System.Data.IDataReader interface or as a scalar value of the needed type.

Important

When working with the Select class, Creatio does not apply the current user permissions. All Creatio database records are available. Creatio does not use the data in the cache repository as well. If you need additional Creatio permissions and cache repository management options, use the EntitySchemaQuery class.
