Remarks

As an example, this can be used to add table hints, e.g., WITH (NOLOCK), for select statements in SQL Server.

Applying the AmendExpressionAttribute to a modeled table with no specified database type parameter will be meant to infer that the amendment be used for all database types. Using a specific database type as a parameter to the attribute, e.g., [AmendExpression("WITH (NOLOCK)", DatabaseType.SQLServer)], means the amendment text will only be applied to the specific database - however, the attribute allows multiple instances on the same identifier so you could specify that amendment application only be applied to two databases:

Copy

[AmendExpression("AS T1", DatabaseType.SQLServer), AmendExpression("AS T1", DatabaseType.MySQL)]

Other parameters exist to fully customize target expression, set affix position and specify statement types:

Copy

[AmendExpression("TOP 200",
    TargetExpression = TargetExpression.FieldList,
    AffixPosition = AffixPosition.Prefix,
    StatementTypes = StatementTypes.SelectSet)]
