CAML query on List

Simply all i'm trying to do is get all the items for the current user that logged in and filter that based on if a check box is ticked.
What i've got so far is:
Dim siteURL As String = SPContext.Current.Web.Url
Using oSiteCollection As New SPSite(siteURL)
Using oWebsite As SPWeb = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb()
Dim titlesList As SPList = oWebsite.Lists("Holiday_Requests")
Dim query As New SPQuery()
query.Query = "<View><Query><Where><And><FieldRef Name='Author' /><Value Type='Integer'><UserID Type='Integer'/></Value></And><FieldRef Name='Cancelled' /><Value Type='Integer'>0</Value></Where></Query></View> "
' <Eq><FieldRef Name='Cancelled' /><Value Type='Integer'>0</Value></Eq></Where>
'<Eq><FieldRef Name='Author' /><Value Type='Integer'><UserID Type='Integer' /><Eq>
Dim titlesItems As SPListItemCollection = titlesList.GetItems(query)
' showing alternative of using data-binding rather iterating through items..
DropDownList1.DataSource = titlesItems
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Title"
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "ID"
DropDownList1.DataBind()
End Using
End Using
Any Idea's would be great

CAML-Query external List

Hi,
I am just wondering if there is a limitation on using the <IN>-tag in a CAML-Query on external lists. Whenever I try to use it, I get this error:
Original error: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: Search could not be performed. The underlying CAML query could not be executed.
The syntax I am using:
<In>
    <FieldRef Name='FieldName' />
    <Values>
      <Value Type='Integer'>1</Value>
      <Value Type='Integer'>2</Value>
    </Values>
</In>
should be correct, as I am testing this with a caml-builder also. When using IN on a normal sharepoint-list using the same
syntax and tools I get my desired results.

Taken out, and still nope. i'm getting no errors it's just showing everything in the list

CAML Query Benchmark

CAML query performance benchmark
Hi All,
My company has recently moved to MS technology and our portal has been developed using .Net and SharePoint 2010 to replace our old system that is based on Oracle 11g and Oracle forms.
The main observation that we have is that CAML queries are much slower than their equivalent Oracle query or even a direct SQL (just for testing).
To investigate CAML query performance we choose a list of CAML queries that we execute in our portal and (just for testing) wrote the equivalent direct SQL statements and tried both in similar network conditions to discover that CAML is at least 10 times
slower than the direct SQL!
We are suspecting that our CAML queries are not efficient (especially when join is needed) but some sample queries are direct selects with the same ration 10:1!
We need an expert advice to know whether this is the normal benchmark and what to do about it:
move part of the schema to a relational database (SQL or Oracle)
replace the CAML with SharePoint Library Query
replace the CAML with direct SQL (I read several articles about how this is considered a taboo but the current performance is not acceptable at all especially when there is a system that works with older technology that is performing much
faster)
One of the examples:
CAML:
<Where><Contains><FieldRef Name="ECM_F_BarcodeNo" /><Value Type="Text">-01-</Value></Contains></Where>
SQL:
Select *
From UserData
As Doc where
Doc.nvarchar10
like '%-01-%'
Many thanks

Join two list with condition using caml query in SharePoint 2013 with client object model

Hi,
Want to join two list to get all fields from both list.
Am new to sharepoint and sharepoint 2013. Am working in sharepoint 2013 online apps. Am using context.executeQueryasync to load list and get items from list. Am able to get items from single list with caml query, but not able to get both list field values
with joins. I did lot of surfing..but not..
Below is my code..
ListName1 : "AssignedTasks"
ListName2 : "Tasks"
var assignedQueryTest = "<View><Joins><Join Type='INNER' ListAlias='Tasks'><Eq><FieldRef Name='TaskId' RefType='Id'/><FieldRef List='Tasks' Name='ID' /></Eq></Join></Joins>"
+ "<ViewFields><FieldRef Name='TitleValue' /><FieldRef Name='ActionItemsValue' /></ViewFields>"
+ "<ProjectedFields>"
+ "<Field Name='TitleValue' Type='Lookup' List='Tasks' ShowField='Title' /><Field Name='ActionItemsValue' Type='Lookup' List='Tasks' ShowField='ActionItems' />"
+ "</ProjectedFields>"
+ "</View>";
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle("AssingedTasks");
var myQuery = new SP.CamlQuery();
myQuery.set_viewXml(assignedQueryTest);
var myItems = list.getItems(myQuery, "Include(TitleValue,ActionItemsValue)");
context.load(myItems);
context.executeQueryAsync(function () { if(myItems.get_count()>0){....}
}, errorCallback);
Here am able to get "AssignedTasks" list field values but not able to get "Tasks" list field values.
Can you please help me to resolve the issue. Or new idea for join. I have add the condition also in the query.
If anybody have good sample, please provide.
Thanks,
Pariventhan
Pariventhan.S

Hi Pariventhan,
I don't know about join but I have a workaround of this problem.
Declare one variable (itemcollection) globally. Load all the items "AssignedTasks" using context.load.
In the success method call another CAML query using <IN> tag of the ID of the items from the second list (Assuming you have look-up column of the ID of the first list to the second list).
If this is not clear to you then please let me know. If possible then I can provide code sample.
Thanks,
Aniruddha

Retrieve all items in a list by caml query then write it to a word file page by page

Dears,
Greetings
I have some code which will retrieve all items of a list with caml query.
Now i want to generate a word file with all these retrieved data. I am using foreach here to get all the items in a SPListItemCollection. Now my question is how i can write all the retrieved items inside the word file?
see the below code which is writing only the last row item of the SPListItemCollection inside word file. I want to write all the retrieved rows inside this word file.
SPQuery qry = new SPQuery();
qry.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Department' /><Value Type='Text'>HR DEPARTMENT</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection listItems = KPILIst.GetItems(qry);
foreach (SPListItem item in listItems)
lblBadgeNo.Text = item["Badge No"].ToString();
lblName.Text = item["Name"].ToString();
lblPosition.Text = item["Position"].ToString();
lblDept.Text = item["Department"].ToString();
lblHireDate.Text = item["Hire Date"].ToString();
lblGrade.Text = item["Grade"].ToString();
lblCurStatus.Text = item["Status"].ToString();
string FinalOut = "";
FinalOut = "<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td style='height:30px;'></td></tr><tr><td style='height:22px;'></td></tr>";
FinalOut = FinalOut + "<tr><td style='text-align:justify;font-size:22px;'>" + lblBadgeNo.Text + "</td></tr>";
FinalOut = FinalOut + "<tr><td style='text-align:justify;font-size:22px;'>" + lblName.Text + "</td></tr>";
FinalOut = FinalOut + "<tr><td style='text-align:justify;font-size:22px;'>" + lblDept.Text + "</td></tr>";
FinalOut = FinalOut + "<tr><td style='text-align:justify;font-size:22px;'>" + lblHireDate.Text + "</td></tr>";
FinalOut = FinalOut + "</table>";
System.Text.StringBuilder strBody = new System.Text.StringBuilder("");
strBody.Append("<html " + "xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office' " + "xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word'" + "xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'>" + "<head><title>EPCCO : HR Comapny Letter</title>");

Filter SharePoint list items using CAML query as same as Like operator in SQL Server.

Hi ,
I have filtered SharePoint list items based on Name using CAML query <Contains> . Now I have a new requirement is to filter list items using Like operator in SQL. But Like operator is not in CAML.
How do I filter list items using CAML as same as Like operator in SQL.
Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance.

Did you try using <Contains>?

CAML Query to getlistitems of sharepoint list

hi
i'm having a HTML Form with Product1, product2 , product3 as checkboxes respectively.
The user selects the product and submit the form .
The Values of the Form are stored in sharepoint 2010 list,
where the selected products are stored in the column called selected Products.
if once again the user loads the HTML form , the HTML form have to be loaded with checkboxes of previously selected items
whether it can be accompished in CAML query and spsevices javascript?
Thanks a lot
- David

Hello David,
You first need to write CAML query to fetch data from SP list based on current user login. If one user can submit only one item in list then you can simply use below query to get item from list:
<Eq><FieldRef Name='Author'/><Value Type='Integer'><UserID Type='Integer'/></Value></Eq>
But if you can have multiple data in list then you also need to add one more condition in query to fetch correct item from list. I have used column name called "uniqueformcolumnname" so here you need to replace your column name and also need to pass value.
<Where>
<And>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Author" />
<Value Type="Integer">
<UserID Type='Integer'/>
</Value>
</Eq>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="uniquecolumnname" />
<Value Type="Text">
//pass unique value here
</Value>
</Eq>
</And>
</Where>
Now once your query done then you can use below code to bind product with checkbox:

CAML query on SharePoint list not working after reaching threshold limit

I have written CAML query to filter and get list items. It was working fine, but the List items count crossed 5000 and its around 15000 items. In Server Object Model When i execute my query to get list items throws exception as " The
attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator ".
My Code:
SPList list = web.Lists["ComplaintReturnsForm1"];
string QIRIdNo = fldQIRIdNo.Text;
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='fldQIRIdNo' /><Value Type='Text'>" + QIRIdNo + "</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection itemcoll = list.GetItems(query);
Please help me to fix it.

Hi Mario,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='fldQIRIdNo' /><Value Type='Text'>"
+ QIRIdNo + "
in this CAML query i have indexed my field "fldQIRIdNo". Now i have more then 5000 items in list, and
iam able to get my list item data without any error.
Please let me know if my action is wrong.

Join two list of integer type field using CAML query

Hi
As i am struggling in Join two sharepoint list (Roles and Emplyees). As there is no lookup columns and lists are already existing and have almost 3000 + recodrs. As a part of enhancement work need to join these list. List structure is some thing as follows:
Roles :
ID Title
1 Project Manager
2 Business Analyst
3 Developer
Employees :
Name Role
1 James 1
2 Petar 3
3 John 2
Output should be like as follows:
Name Role
1 James Project Manager
2 Petar Developer
3 John Developer
So please suggest, if the joining can be done other than lookup columns through the CAML query.
Akhilesh Rao

Follow below CAML query to add joins between two lists.
SPList list = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Lists["Employees"];
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Joins = @" <Join Type="INNER" ListAlias="Roles">
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Employees" RefType="Role" />
<FieldRef List="Roles" Name="ID" />
</Eq>
</Join>";
query.ProjectedFields = @" <Field Name="RoleName" Type="Lookup" List="Roles" ShowField="Title">";
query.ViewFields = @ "<FieldRef Name="Title">
<FieldRef Name="RoleName"> ";
SPListItemCollection result = tablea.GetItems(query);

CAML query performance for large lists

I have a list with more than 10000 items. I am retrieving the items and displaying it in a RAD Grid on my page using CAML query. While retrieving the items, around 1000 records are retrieved due to filter. I have enabled paging in my grid and PageSize is
set to 25. I have noticed that the load time of my page is very slow as it retrieves all the 1000 records at once.
Is it possible to retrieve just 25 records for the first page on load. On click on the Next button or Page number it should retrieve the next set of 25 records for that particular page.
I want to know if there is any way to link CAMl query paging with RAD grid paging
Any code example would be greatly helpful.

Hi,
For pagination in SPListItem use the SPQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition property.

CAML Query to Sort SharePoint list items based on Modified date

hi ,
can we sort sharePoint list items based on 'Modified' column, the sorting should be done up to milliseconds level.
currently i am using CAML query as below
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Modified' Type='DateTime' IncludeTimeValue='TRUE' Ascending='False'/></OrderBy>but its not considering milliseconds while sorting.
Thanks and Regards,
venkatesh.

Veda, thanks but I'm not really a hardcore C# coder.
We found more elegant solution was to create a List View which returns all records that should be deleted, based on our own custom deletion criteria, and then create an very simple SSIS Package in Visual Studio using the
Sharepoint Connectors for SSIS to delete all Sharepoint List Items returned from that List View. The Sharepoint Destination Connector has a delete operation.
This worked for us and didn't require any coding.

Count of items ina list using CAML Query

Hi,
Thanks in Advance
I'm using an app called blumshapiro to customize the tile in sharepoint 2013, I also have a requirement of getting the item count from the list which can be done by writing a CAML Query. Can anyone please assist me with the syntax to fetch the item count
in caml Query.
Regards,
Niranjan

Hi
There is nothing like item count in Camel query.You can get Required result using SPListItemCollection.Count
Do a normal where clause having condition.
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
string camlquery = @"<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='Vendor_x0020_Product_x0020_Name'/>
<Value Type='Text'>" + xpathresultBTADSLMAX + @"</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>";
query.Query = camlquery;
SPListItemCollection listItemCollection = list.GetItems(query);int count=0;if(listItemCollection !=null) { count=ListItemCollection.Count}MSDN reference
