SPQuery Using Multiple AND OR Operators

Scenario 1

Get me all items in a list WHERE fullName equals the currently logged in user.

7
8
9
10
11
SPWeb web = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
 
string fullName = web.CurrentUser.Name;
 
SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
 
oQuery.Query = 
    "<Where>" + 
    "<Eq><FieldRef Name='FullName'/><Value Type='Text'>'" + fullName + "'</Value></Eq>" + 
    "</Where>" +
    "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='StartTime' Ascending='FALSE'></FieldRef></OrderBy>";

Scenario 2

Get me all items in a list WHERE fullName equals the currently logged in user AND status equals ‘Complete’.

SPWeb web = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
 
string fullName = web.CurrentUser.Name;
 
SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
oQuery.Query = 
    "<Where>" +
    "<And>" +
        "<Eq><FieldRef Name='FullName'/><Value Type='Text'>'" + fullName + "'</Value></Eq>" +
        "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Status'/><Value Type='Text'>Complete</Value></Eq>" + 
    "</And>" +
    "</Where>" +
    "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='StartTime' Ascending='FALSE'></FieldRef></OrderBy>";

Scenario 3

Get me all items in a list WHERE fullName equals the currently logged in user AND status equals ‘Complete’ AND manager is James Lane.
This is where it gets a bit tricky. The following example is INCORRECT and will produce an error when run:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
SPWeb web = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
 
string fullName = web.CurrentUser.Name;
 
SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
oQuery.Query = 
    "<Where>" +
    "<And>" +
        "<Eq><FieldRef Name='FullName'/><Value Type='Text'>'" + fullName + "'</Value></Eq>" +
        "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Status'/><Value Type='Text'>Complete</Value></Eq>" +
        "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Manager'/><Value Type='Text'>James Lane</Value></Eq>" +
    "</And>" +
    "</Where>" +
    "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='StartTime' Ascending='FALSE'></FieldRef></OrderBy>";
This is the correct way to do it:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
SPWeb web = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context);
 
string fullName = web.CurrentUser.Name;
 
SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
oQuery.Query = 
    "<Where>" +
    "<And>" +
        "<And>" +
            "<Eq><FieldRef Name='FullName'/><Value Type='Text'>'" + fullName + "'</Value></Eq>" +
            "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Status'/><Value Type='Text'>Complete</Value></Eq>" +
        "</And>" +
        "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Manager'/><Value Type='Text'>James Lane</Value></Eq>" +
    "</And>" +
    "</Where>" +
    "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='StartTime' Ascending='FALSE'></FieldRef></OrderBy>";

Scenario 4

Get me all items WHERE fullName equals the currently logged in user AND status equals ‘Complete’ OR status equals ‘On Hold’.

SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
oQuery.Query = 
    "<Where>" +
    "<And>" +
        "<Eq><FieldRef Name='FullName'/><Value Type='Text'>'" + fullName + "'</Value></Eq>" +
        "<Or>" +
            "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Status'/><Value Type='Text'>Complete</Value></Eq>" +
            "<Eq><FieldRef Name='Status'/><Value Type='Text'>On Hold</Value></Eq>" +
        "</Or>" +
    "</And>" +
    "</Where>" +
    "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='StartTime' Ascending='FALSE'></FieldRef></OrderBy>";
