BaseUniqueConstraintSaveBehavior.BuildUniqueConstraintQuery method

Builds the query used to check the unique constraint. Override this method to customize the pre-check, for example to add row-level scoping (tenant/owner filters) so that the check matches the actual database unique constraint, or to skip the pre-check entirely.

protected virtual SqlQuery BuildUniqueConstraintQuery(ISaveRequestHandler handler, 
    IEnumerable<Field> fields, BaseCriteria? groupCriteria)
parameter description
handler Save request handler.
fields Fields that make up the unique constraint.
groupCriteria Optional additional criteria to scope the check.

Return Value

The query to run.

Remarks

Equality is evaluated by the database, which is the single source of truth for comparison semantics, so case sensitivity follows the actual column collation and the pre-check matches the real unique index. The configured field, dialect or DefaultComparer comparer only approximates that for in-memory change detection and does not affect this query.
