Search data:
The Microsoft Bing APIs support the following operators in the WHERE clause: =, >, >=, <, <=, AND.
Return the number of items matching the query criteria:
Return the number of unique items matching the query criteria:
Return the unique items matching the query criteria:
Summarize data:
See Aggregate Functions below for details.
Retrieve data from multiple tables.
See JOIN Queries below for details.
Sort a result set in ascending order:
Restrict a result set to the specified number of rows:
Parameterize a query to pass in inputs at execution time. This enables you to create prepared statements and mitigate SQL injection attacks.
Below are several examples of SQL aggregate functions. You can use these with a GROUP BY clause to aggregate rows based on the specified GROUP BY criterion. This can be a reporting tool.
Returns the number of rows matching the query criteria.
Returns the number of distinct, non-null field values matching the query criteria.
Returns the number of rows matching the query criteria.
Returns the number of distinct, non-null field values matching the query criteria.
Returns the average of the column values.
Returns the minimum column value.
Returns the maximum column value.
Returns the total sum of the column values.
The Provider for Microsoft Bing supports standard SQL joins like the following examples.
An inner join selects only rows from both tables that match the join condition:
A left join selects all rows in the FROM table and only matching rows in the JOIN table:
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.
The current day.
The previous day.
The following day.
Every day in the preceding week.
Every day in the current week.
Every day in the following week.
Also available:
L_LAST/L_THIS/L_NEXT MONTH
