• INTO

• FROM

• JOIN

• WHERE

• GROUP BY

• HAVING

• UNION

• ORDER BY

• LIMIT

SELECT Syntax

The following syntax diagram outlines the syntax supported by the SQL engine of the provider:

SELECT { [ TOP <numeric_literal> | DISTINCT ] { * | { <expression> [ [ AS ] <column_reference> ] | { <table_name> | <correlation_name> } .* } [ , ... ] } [ INTO csv:// [ filename= ] <file_path> [ ;delimiter=tab ] ] { FROM <table_reference> [ [ AS ] <identifier> ] } [ , ... ] [ [ INNER | { { LEFT | RIGHT | FULL } [ OUTER ] } ] JOIN <table_reference> [ ON <search_condition> ] [ [ AS ] <identifier> ] ] [ ... ] [ WHERE <search_condition> ] [ GROUP BY <column_reference> [ , ... ] [ HAVING <search_condition> ] [ UNION [ ALL ] <select_statement> ] [ ORDER BY <column_reference> [ ASC | DESC ] [ NULLS FIRST | NULLS LAST ] ] [ LIMIT <expression> [ { OFFSET | , } <expression> ] ] } | SCOPE_IDENTITY() <expression> ::= | <column_reference> | @ <parameter> | ? | COUNT( * | { [ DISTINCT ] <expression> } ) | { AVG | MAX | MIN | SUM | COUNT } ( <expression> ) | NULLIF ( <expression> , <expression> ) | COALESCE ( <expression> , ... ) | CASE <expression> WHEN { <expression> | <search_condition> } THEN { <expression> | NULL } [ ... ] [ ELSE { <expression> | NULL } ] END | <literal> | <sql_function> <search_condition> ::= { <expression> { = | > | < | >= | <= | <> | != | LIKE | NOT LIKE | IN | NOT IN | IS NULL | IS NOT NULL | AND | OR | CONTAINS | BETWEEN } [ <expression> ] } [ { AND | OR } ... ]

Examples

1. Return all columns:

   SELECT * FROM Teams
2. Rename a column:

   SELECT [location_displayName] AS MY_location_displayName FROM Teams
3. Cast a column's data as a different data type:

   SELECT CAST(Reminder AS VARCHAR) AS Str_Reminder FROM Teams
4. Search data:

   SELECT * FROM Teams WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB'
5. Return the number of items matching the query criteria:

   SELECT COUNT(*) AS MyCount FROM Teams
6. Return the number of unique items matching the query criteria:

   SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT location_displayName) FROM Teams
7. Return the unique items matching the query criteria:

   SELECT DISTINCT location_displayName FROM Teams
8. Summarize data:

   SELECT location_displayName, MAX(Reminder) FROM Teams GROUP BY location_displayName

   See Aggregate Functions below for details.

9. Retrieve data from multiple tables.

   SELECT Teams.displayName, Channels.desciption FROM Teams, Channels WHERE Teams.Id=Channels.TeamId

   See JOIN Queries below for details.

10. Sort a result set in ascending order:

    SELECT subject, location_displayName FROM Teams ORDER BY location_displayName ASC
11. Restrict a result set to the specified number of rows:

    SELECT subject, location_displayName FROM Teams LIMIT 10
12. Parameterize a query to pass in inputs at execution time. This enables you to create prepared statements and mitigate SQL injection attacks.

    SELECT * FROM Teams WHERE Id = @param

Aggregate Functions

COUNT

Returns the number of rows matching the query criteria.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Teams WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB'

COUNT(DISTINCT)

Returns the number of distinct, non-null field values matching the query criteria.

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT subject) AS DistinctValues FROM Teams WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB'

AVG

Returns the average of the column values.

SELECT location_displayName, AVG(Reminder) FROM Teams WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB' GROUP BY location_displayName

MIN

Returns the minimum column value.

SELECT MIN(Reminder), location_displayName FROM Teams WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB' GROUP BY location_displayName

MAX

Returns the maximum column value.

SELECT location_displayName, MAX(Reminder) FROM Teams WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB' GROUP BY location_displayName

SUM

Returns the total sum of the column values.

SELECT SUM(Reminder) FROM Teams WHERE Id = 'Jq74mCczmFXk1tC10GB'

JOIN Queries

The Provider for Microsoft Teams supports standard SQL joins like the following examples.

Inner Join

An inner join selects only rows from both tables that match the join condition:

SELECT Teams.displayName, Channels.desciption FROM Teams, Channels WHERE Teams.Id=Channels.TeamId

Left Join

A left join selects all rows in the FROM table and only matching rows in the JOIN table:

SELECT Groups.displayName, Teams.Description FROM Groups LEFT OUTER JOIN Teams ON Groups.Id=Teams.GroupId

Date Literal Functions

The following date literal functions can be used to filter date fields using relative intervals. Note that while the <, >, and = operators are supported for these functions, <= and >= are not.

L_TODAY()

The current day.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_TODAY()

L_YESTERDAY()

The previous day.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_YESTERDAY()

L_TOMORROW()

The following day.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_TOMORROW()

L_LAST_WEEK()

Every day in the preceding week.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_LAST_WEEK()

L_THIS_WEEK()

Every day in the current week.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_THIS_WEEK()

L_NEXT_WEEK()

Every day in the following week.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_NEXT_WEEK()

Also available:

• L_LAST/L_THIS/L_NEXT MONTH

• L_LAST/L_THIS/L_NEXT QUARTER

• L_LAST/L_THIS/L_NEXT YEAR

L_LAST_N_DAYS(n)

The previous n days, excluding the current day.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_LAST_N_DAYS(3)

L_NEXT_N_DAYS(n)

The following n days, including the current day.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_NEXT_N_DAYS(3)

Also available:

• L_LAST/L_NEXT_90_DAYS

L_LAST_N_WEEKS(n)

Every day in every week, starting n weeks before current week, and ending in the previous week.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_LAST_N_WEEKS(3)

L_NEXT_N_WEEKS(n)

Every day in every week, starting the following week, and ending n weeks in the future.

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = L_NEXT_N_WEEKS(3)

Also available:

• L_LAST/L_NEXT_N_MONTHS(n)

• L_LAST/L_NEXT_N_QUARTERS(n)

• L_LAST/L_NEXT_N_YEARS(n)
