# SQL-298: PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.GeneratePacket

This statement is a read operation invoked through ORM (NHibernate LINQ). Executed by `PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.GeneratePacket`.

## Classification

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **SQL ID** | SQL-298 |
| **Operation type** | Read |
| **Execution method** | ORM (NHibernate LINQ) |
| **Database** | Oracle* |
| **Schema** | [unqualified]** |
| **Command type** | N/A (ORM-generated) |
| **Business object** | `PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions` |
| **Criteria property** | N/A — ORM |
| **Lifecycle method** | `GeneratePacket` |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Direction | Type | Max length | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `primaryType` | Input | string | N/A | Method argument of `PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.GeneratePacket` bound into the ORM expression; NHibernate generates the bind variable at runtime |
| `secondaryType` | Input | string | N/A | Method argument of `PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.GeneratePacket` bound into the ORM expression; NHibernate generates the bind variable at runtime |
| `packetCount` | Input | int | N/A | Method argument of `PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.GeneratePacket` bound into the ORM expression; NHibernate generates the bind variable at runtime |
| `nonPacketDocCount` | Input | int | N/A | Method argument of `PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.GeneratePacket` bound into the ORM expression; NHibernate generates the bind variable at runtime |

## Tables

| Table | Access | Columns used |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [output_document_type_code](../database-tables.md#output_document_type_code) | SELECT (hypothetical) | code, code_descr, agency_view_flag, agency_inbox_flag, manual_add_flag, freeform_flag, sort_priority_num, SOURCE_SYSTEM_CODE, PACKAGE_NAME, image_file_code, image_category_code, image_document_type_code, output_document_category_code, Direct_Write_Notify_Text_Code |

## LINQ statement

Source: `Data/SAIF.Data/TestRepository/RepositoryExtensions/PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.cs:1613`.

```csharp
// Data/SAIF.Data/TestRepository/RepositoryExtensions/PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.cs:1613-1614
var types = uow.GetRepository<OutputDocumentTypeCode>().Query()
    .Where(x => x.IsAgencyViewable && x.Code != primaryType && x.Code != secondaryType).Take(packetCount);

// Data/SAIF.Data/TestRepository/RepositoryExtensions/PolicyOutputDocumentExtensions.cs:1639-1641
var otypes = uow.GetRepository<OutputDocumentTypeCode>().Query()
.Where(x => x.IsAgencyViewable &&
     !codes.Contains(x.Code)).Take(nonPacketDocCount);
```

## Sample SQL

> **Test double — no runtime SQL.** This statement executes against `TestUnitOfWork`/`TestRepository<T>` (in-memory, `List<TEntity>`-backed test doubles in `SAIF.Framework.Core`); no NHibernate session is opened and no SQL is issued at runtime. The SQL below is the hypothetical statement the same expression would produce against a real NHibernate `IUnitOfWork` using the in-repo mappings, shown to document the mapping shape only — **no database table is accessed when this code runs.**

> **Inferred SQL:** This SQL was inferred from the LINQ statement above and the NHibernate mappings. It is not concrete SQL from source code; NHibernate generates the executed statement at runtime, so aliases, column order, join syntax, and bind-parameter names may differ.

```sql
-- Inferred from LINQ (NHibernate mapping translation); not concrete SQL

Translation notes:
- Not accessed: `output_doc_image_type_xref` (old page) — `HasManyToMany(ImageDocumentTypes)` join table, lazy and never navigated. `image_document_type_code`, `output_document_category_code`, `output_doc_notify_text_code` — FK columns only.
- `types` is a deferred `IQueryable`; (a) is executed twice — by `ForEach` (line 1625) and by `Select(...).ToList()` (line 1637).
- If `primaryType`/`secondaryType` is null, NHibernate renders `x.Code != null` as `code IS NOT NULL` (C# null semantics).
