IQueryFilterDefinition2

Description

The IQueryFilterDefinition interface is used to define the set of FilterDef objects that are applied to the query. This set of objects is represented by the FilterDefs property. The other property on this interface PostfixClause is a string property that allows for addition text to be appended to the SQL generated by a query filter.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Method Summary

IFilterDefs	getFilterDefs() The filter definitions specified for this query filter.
String	getPostfixClause() A clause that will be appended to the SELECT statement, following the where clause.
void	setFilterDefsByRef(IFilterDefs filters) The filter definitions specified for this query filter.
void	setPostfixClause(String clause) A clause that will be appended to the SELECT statement, following the where clause.

Method Detail

getPostfixClause

String getPostfixClause()
                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException

A clause that will be appended to the SELECT statement, following the where clause. Most commonly used for clauses like ORDER BY.

Remarks

The PostfixClause property allows for a postfix clause to be added to a query filter. The PostfixClause property is a string property. It can be used to specify an ORDER BY clause for the query. Historically, this clause has not been supported due to issues with placement in the SQL generated for spatial and/or versioned queries. This property ensures proper placement of the clause in the SQL generated by the system.
