This method returns the number of rows in the underlying Oracle database that are within the specified scope.

Declaration

// C#
public override int GetCountOfState(PersonalizationScope scope,
   PersonalizationStateQuery query);

Parameters

• scope

  The scope of query (User or Shared) for personalization information. This cannot be a null reference.

• query

  The query to be used for filtering personalization information. This can be a null reference.

Return Value

The number of rows in the underlying data source that are within the specified scope parameter.

Exceptions

ArgumentException -The PathToMatch or the UsernameToMatch property of query is a non-null reference and is an empty string ("") after trimming.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException - The scope specified is not a valid value from the PersonalizationScope enumeration.

OracleException - An Oracle-related error has occurred.

Remarks

This method passes the query wildcard characters to the underlying Oracle database. The database performs a wildcard search on a partial path with the wildcard character appearing at the beginning, the end, or the middle of the search string text in the PathToMatch property of the query parameter. For example, setting the PathToMatch property to ~/appdir% finds all paths that start with ~/appdir.

Likewise, in a wildcard search on a partial user name, the wildcard character can appear at any point in the text string of the UsernameToMatch property of the query parameter. For example, to find all user names that start with scott, the UsernameToMatch parameter looks like scott%

The following query constraints must be followed:

• If only the scope parameter is provided, and the query parameter is a null reference or all the properties on the query parameter return either a null reference or default values, then all records matching the indicated scope parameter are returned.

• If the PathToMatch property is not a null reference, then the records returned are also filtered based on paths that match the PathToMatch value.

• If the UsernameToMatch property is not a null reference, then the returned records are also filtered based on user names that match the UsernameToMatch property value.

• If the UserInactiveSinceDate property is not equal to the MaxValue, then the returned records are also filtered to return only those records associated with inactive users. The comparison includes records where the LastActivityDate property is less than or equal to the UserInactiveSinceDate property.
