\title{Convert an AnnotationFilter to a SQL WHERE condition for EnsDb}
\usage{
\S4method{convertFilter}{AnnotationFilter,EnsDb}(object, db, with.tables = character())
\S4method{convertFilter}{AnnotationFilterList,EnsDb}(object, db, with.tables = character())
}
\arguments{
\item{object}{\code{AnnotationFilter} or \code{AnnotationFilterList} objects (or
objects extending these classes).}
\item{db}{\code{EnsDb} object.}
\item{with.tables}{optional \code{character} vector specifying the names of the
database tables that are being queried.}
}
\value{
A \code{character(1)} with the SQL where condition.
}
\description{
\code{convertFilter} converts an \code{AnnotationFilter::AnnotationFilter}
or \code{AnnotationFilter::AnnotationFilterList} to an SQL where condition
for an \code{EnsDb} database.
}
\note{
This function \emph{might} be used in direct SQL queries on the SQLite
database underlying an \code{EnsDb} but is more thought to illustrate the
use of \code{AnnotationFilter} objects in combination with SQL databases.
This method is used internally to create the SQL calls to the database.
}
\examples{
library(EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86)
edb <- EnsDb.Hsapiens.v86
## Define a filter
flt <- AnnotationFilter(~ gene_name == "BCL2")
## Use the method from the AnnotationFilter package:
convertFilter(flt)
## Create a combination of filters
flt_list <- AnnotationFilter(~ gene_name \%in\% c("BCL2", "BCL2L11") &
tx_biotype == "protein_coding")
flt_list
convertFilter(flt_list)
## Use the filters in the context of an EnsDb database:
convertFilter(flt, edb)
convertFilter(flt_list, edb)
