SQL Indexing¶

Content Item Indexing¶

Here are some SQL tables that you can query and their columns.

ContentItemIndex¶

`Id`	`int`	`true`	`true`
`DocumentId`	`int`	`false`	`false`
`ContentItemId`	`nvarchar(26)`	`false`	`false`
`Published`	`bit`	`false`	`false`
`Latest`	`bit`	`false`	`false`
`ModifiedUtc`	`datetime`	`false`	`false`
`PublishedUtc`	`datetime`	`false`	`false`

Content Fields Indexing¶

The OrchardCore.ContentFields.Indexing.SQL module provides database indexing for content fields.

Note that the listed types are SQL Server data types.

SQLite doesn't have a length limit on text fields.

Usage¶

Please look at each index tables to see which fields are available to query on. The following examples are for the TextFieldIndex only.

From a class.

using OrchardCore.ContentManagement;
using OrchardCore.ContentFields.Indexing

public class MyClass(){
    private readonly ISession _session;

        public MyClass(ISession session)
        {
            _session = session;
        }

        public async Task<IEnumerable<ContentItem>> GetTextFieldIndexRecords(string contentType, string contentField){
            return await _session.Query<ContentItem, TextFieldIndex>(x => x.ContentType == contentType && x.ContentField == contentField).ListAsync();
        }
}

From a Razor template:

@using OrchardCore.ContentManagement
@using OrchardCore.ContentFields.Indexing
@inject ISession Session

@{
    var contentItems = await Session.Query<ContentItem, TextFieldIndex>(x => x.ContentType == "Acme" && x.ContentField == "Test").ListAsync();
}

From Liquid, you will be required to create a SQL Query in Orchard Core to retrieve these records first. Name it "AllCountries" for the current example and don't select the option "Return Documents" on the Query:

SELECT * FROM TextFieldIndex
WHERE ContentType = 'Acme' AND ContentField = 'Country'

In our Liquid template we will now retrieve these records.

{% assign allCountries = Queries.AllCountries | query %}
{% for country in allCountries %}
{{ country.Text }}
{% endfor %}

Please note that Datetimes are stored as UTC so a conversion with the current request culture will be required.
