WHERE clause
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The WHERE clause can be used for JOIN or filter predicates, in order to restrict the data returned by the table expressions supplied to the previously specified from clause and join clause. Here is an example:
SELECT * FROM BOOK WHERE AUTHOR_ID = 1 AND TITLE = '1984'
create.select()
.from(BOOK)
.where(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID.eq(1))
.and(BOOK.TITLE.eq("1984"))
.fetch();
The above syntax is convenience provided by jOOQ, allowing you to connect the org.jooq.Condition supplied in the WHERE clause with another condition using an AND operator. You can of course also create a more complex condition and supply that to the WHERE clause directly (observe the different placing of parentheses). The results will be the same:
SELECT * FROM BOOK WHERE AUTHOR_ID = 1 AND TITLE = '1984'
create.select()
.from(BOOK)
.where(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID.eq(1).and(
BOOK.TITLE.eq("1984")))
.fetch();
You will find more information about creating conditional expressions later in the manual.
