## LINQ statement

Source: `Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Legal/LegalQueryProvider.cs:118`.

```csharp
public OtherFirm GetOtherFirm(long id)
{
    return Factory.GetRepository<OtherFirm>().Query().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id);
}
```

## Sample SQL

> **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
SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT
    OF1.OTHER_FIRM_SEQ_NUM,
    OF1.FIRM_NAME
  FROM OTHER_FIRM OF1
  WHERE OF1.OTHER_FIRM_SEQ_NUM = :id
) WHERE ROWNUM <= 1
```

Translation notes:
- Alias `OF1` avoids the Oracle reserved word `OF`.
