# SQL-024: Retrieve IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE collection

This statement retrieves `IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE` rows with effective-date filtering using Oracle `TRUNC(SYSDATE)` logic. The `WhereClause` property in `Criteria` switches between an AllWhere variant (returns all currently effective rows) and a FileWhere variant (scoped to a specific `IMAGE_FILE_CODE`). The sample SQL shows the AllWhere variant. A `CultureCode` parameter may exist for culture-specific joins but was not confirmed in live `BeforeRetrieve` bindings**.

## Classification

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **SQL ID** | SQL-024 |
| **Operation type** | Read |
| **Execution method** | Inline SQL |
| **Database** | Oracle |
| **Schema** | [unqualified]** |
| **Command type** | Text** |
| **Business object** | `clsImageDocumentTypeCodeCollection` |
| **Criteria property** | `RetrieveSQL` |
| **Lifecycle method** | `BeforeRetrieve` |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Direction | Type | Max length | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `:ImageFileCode` | Input | [not specified]** | 5 | File code filter (only when FileWhere variant is selected)*. |
| `:CultureCode` | Input | [not specified]** | N/A | Culture code for localized descriptions (not confirmed in live BeforeRetrieve)**. |

## Tables

| Table | Access | Columns used |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE](../database-tables.md#image_document_type_code) | SELECT | CODE, CODE_DESCR, CREATE_DATE, CREATE_USER, DEFAULT_DISCOVERY_FLAG, DEFAULT_CONFIDENTIAL_FLAG, DEFAULT_EXTERNAL_VIEW_CODE, EFFECTIVE_DATE, EXPIRATION_DATE, EXTERNAL_DESCR, IMAGE_CATEGORY_CODE, IMAGE_FILE_CODE, PRIORITY_CODE, SORT_ORDER_NUM, UPDATE_DATE, UPDATE_USER |

## Sample SQL

The following shows the AllWhere variant (returns all currently effective rows):

```sql
Select
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.CODE as Code,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.CODE_DESCR as CodeDescr,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.CREATE_DATE as CreateDate,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.CREATE_USER as CreateUser,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.DEFAULT_DISCOVERY_FLAG as DefaultDiscoveryFlag,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.DEFAULT_CONFIDENTIAL_FLAG as DefaultConfidentialFlag,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.DEFAULT_EXTERNAL_VIEW_CODE as DefaultExternalViewCode,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.EFFECTIVE_DATE as EffectiveDate,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.EXPIRATION_DATE as ExpirationDate,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.EXTERNAL_DESCR as ExternalDescription,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.IMAGE_CATEGORY_CODE as ImageCategoryCode,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.IMAGE_FILE_CODE as ImageFileCode,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.PRIORITY_CODE as PriorityCode,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.SORT_ORDER_NUM as SortOrderNum,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.UPDATE_DATE as UpdateDate,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.UPDATE_USER as UpdateUser
From IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE
Where TRUNC(SYSDATE) BETWEEN TRUNC(effective_date)
    AND NVL(TRUNC(expiration_date) - 1, SYSDATE + 1)
ORDER BY SORT_ORDER_NUM,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.IMAGE_CATEGORY_CODE,
    IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPE_CODE.CODE_DESCR
```
