Tablestore:Range query

Prerequisites

• An OTSClient instance is initialized. For more information, see Initialize an OTSClient instance.

• A data table is created and data is written to the data table. For more information, see Create data tables and Write data.

• A search index is created for the data table. For more information, see Create search indexes.

Parameters

Examples

The following sample code provides an example on how to query the rows in which the value of the Long_type_col column is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 6. In this example, the total number of rows that meet the query conditions is returned.

/// <summary>
/// Search the table for rows in which the value of the Long_type_col column is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 6. 
/// </summary>
/// <param name="otsClient"></param>
public static void RangeQuery(OTSClient otsClient)
{
    var searchQuery = new SearchQuery();
    // Specify that the total number of rows that meet the query conditions is returned. 
    searchQuery.GetTotalCount = true;
    var rangeQuery = new RangeQuery(Long_type_col, new ColumnValue(0), new ColumnValue(6));
    // Specify that the rows in which the value of the column that you want to match is equal to the value of the From parameter are included in the response. 
    rangeQuery.IncludeLower = true;
    searchQuery.Query = rangeQuery;
    var request = new SearchRequest(TableName, IndexName, searchQuery);
    // You can configure the ColumnsToGet parameter to specify the columns that you want to return, specify that all columns are returned, or specify that all columns in the search index are returned. If you do not configure this parameter, only the primary key columns are returned. 
    request.ColumnsToGet = new ColumnsToGet()
    {
        // Specify that all columns in the search index are returned. 
        ReturnAllFromIndex = true
        // Specify the columns that you want to return. 
        //Columns = new List<string>() { Long_type_col, Text_type_col, Keyword_type_col }
        // Specify that all columns are returned. 
        //ReturnAll = true
    };

    var response = otsClient.Search(request);

    Console.WriteLine("Total Count:" + response.TotalCount); // Specify that the total number of rows that meet the query conditions instead of the number of rows that are returned is displayed. 
}

FAQ

• What do I do if no data can be found by calling the Search operation?

• How do I increase the value of the limit parameter to 1000 when I call the Search operation of the search index feature to query data?

• Why does a token become invalid when pagination is used in a search index-based query?

References

• When you use a search index to query data, you can use the following query methods: term query, terms query, match all query, match query, match phrase query, prefix query, range query, wildcard query, Boolean query, geo query, nested query, and exists query. You can use different query methods to query data from multiple dimensions based on your business requirements.

  You can sort or paginate rows that meet the query conditions by using the sorting and paging features. For more information, see Sorting and paging.

  You can use the collapse (distinct) feature to collapse the result set based on a specific column. This way, data of the specified type appears only once in the query results. For more information, see Collapse (distinct).

• If you want to analyze data in a data table, you can use the aggregation feature of the Search operation or execute SQL statements. For example, you can obtain the minimum and maximum values, sum, and total number of rows. For more information, see Aggregation and SQL query.

• If you want to obtain all rows that meet the query conditions without the need to sort the rows, you can call the ParallelScan and ComputeSplits operations to use the parallel scan feature. For more information, see Parallel scan.
