# SQL-076: Retrieve Agency via GetAgency

## Classification

| **SQL ID** | SQL-076 |
| **Operation type** | Read |
| **Execution method** | ORM (NHibernate LINQ) |
| **Database** | Oracle |
| **Schema** | [unqualified]** |
| **Command type** | N/A (ORM-generated) |
| **Business object** | `Agency` |
| **Criteria property** | N/A — ORM |

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `:agencyId` | Input | `long` | N/A | Method argument of `GetAgency` |

## Tables

| Table | Access | Columns used |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Agency](../database-tables.md#agency) | SELECT | agency_seq_num, agency_name, agency_eff_date, agency_exp_date, policy_holder_paperless_flag, agency_paperless_flag, agency_paperless_request_flag, update_date, update_user, agency_rep_user |

## LINQ statement

Source: `Services/SAIF.Services/Agencies/Imaging/ImageService.cs:247`.

```csharp
// Services/SAIF.Services/Agencies/Imaging/ImageService.cs:247
return unitOfWork.GetRepository<agenciesDataModel.Agency>().Query().SingleOrDefault(a => a.Id == agencyId);
```

## 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
  A.agency_seq_num,
  A.agency_name,
  A.agency_eff_date,
  A.agency_exp_date,
  A.policy_holder_paperless_flag,
  A.agency_paperless_flag,
  A.agency_paperless_request_flag,
  A.update_date,
  A.update_user,
  A.agency_rep_user
FROM Agency A
WHERE A.agency_seq_num = :agencyId
-- NHibernate expects at most one row
```

Translation notes:
- `SAIFRepresentative` (`References` → `agency_rep_user`) is selected as an FK only; the `WcisEmployee` table is not joined. `HasMany` collections (`Contracts`, `Agents`, `TeamFunctions`, `DocumentNotifications`) are lazy and not selected.

## Operations and processes
- ImageService.GetAgency — see [Operations and processes](../operations-processes.md)

> **Note:** Statements marked with `**` could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
