How to form multiple Join Conditions sql query in Sqlkata


I am trying to build the Sql Query using by using Sqlkata.I am able to build the correct sql query for one join condition ,but for And Condition i am facing issues

var empDeptQuery = new Query("employee");
empDeptQuery.Select("employee.Name", "dept.Deptname");
empDeptQuery.Join("dept", join => join.On("employee.deptid", "dept.deptid"));          

SqlResult empDeptSqlKataQuery = compiler.Compile(empDeptQuery);

Final Query -empDeptSqlKataQuery.Sql is

SELECT [employee].[Name], [dept].[Deptname] FROM [employee] 
INNER JOIN [dept] ON ([employee].[deptid] = [dept].[deptid])

i want to add on more condition in join clause like in the following way.

SELECT [employee].[Name], [dept].[Deptname] FROM [employee] 
INNER JOIN [dept] ON ([employee].[deptid] = [dept].[deptid] And [employee].[empdeptname]=[dept].[departmentName])

i have tried this but didn't get what i expected

var empDeptQuery = new Query("employee");
empDeptQuery.Select("employee.Name", "dept.Deptname");
empDeptQuery.Join("dept", join => join.On("employee.deptid", "dept.deptid"));
empDeptQuery.Join(empDeptQuery, join => join.On("employee.empdeptname", "dept.departmentName"));

 SqlResult empDeptSqlKataQuery = compiler.Compile(empDeptQuery);

Final Sql query with the above approach :

SELECT [employee].[Name], [dept].[Deptname] FROM [employee] 
INNER JOIN [dept] ON ([employee].[deptid] = [dept].[deptid])
INNER JOIN (SELECT [employee].[Name], [dept].[Deptname] FROM [employee] 
INNER JOIN [dept] ON ([employee].[deptid] = [dept].[deptid])) ON ([employee].[empdeptname] = [dept].[departmentName])

Please let me know how to fix the issue


Solution

  • Use the On or WhereX methods as needed, for example

    new Query("employee")
        .Select("employee.Name", "dept.Deptname")
        .Join("dept", 
            j => j.On("employee.deptid", "dept.deptid")
                .On("employee.countryid", "dept.countryid")            
        )
    

    Note that On is just an alias for the WhereColumns method, so all WhereX methods works in this context also
