Query Related Records (Operation)
URL http://<layer-url>/queryRelatedRecords
Parent Resource Layer / Table
Required Capability Data

Description

Note: This operation was added at 10.

The query related records operation is performed on a layer / table resource. The result of this operation is one or more featuresets grouped by source layer / table object IDs. Each featureset contains Feature objects including the values for the fields requested by the user. For related layers, if you request geometry information, the geometry of each feature is also returned in the featureset. For related tables, the featureset does not include geometries.

Also, each featureset contains an array of field information objects for fields requested in outFields parameter. See Layer/Table for details on fields. NOTE: The domains member is not included in field information objects returned with the response.

New in 10.1

Note that all parameters related to geometry will be ignored when querying related tables.

You can provide arguments to the query related records operation as query parameters defined in the parameters table below.

Parameters

Parameter Details
f Description: The response format. The default response format is html.

Values: html | json | amf
objectIds Description: The object IDs of this layer / table to be queried. Records related to these object IDs will be queried.

Syntax: objectIds=<objectId1>, <objectId2>

Example: objectIds=37, 462
relationshipId Description: The ID of the relationship to be queried. The relationships that this layer / table participates in are included in the Layer / Table Resource response. Records in tables / layers corresponding to the related table / layer of the relationship are queried.

Example: relationshipId=4
outFields Description: The list of fields from the related table / layer to be included in the returned featureset. This list is a comma delimited list of field names. If you specify the shape field in the list of return fields, it is ignored. To request geometry, set returnGeometry to true.

You can also specify the wildcard "*" as the value of this parameter. In this case, the results will include all the field values.

Example: outFields=AREANAME,ST,POP2000
Example (wildcard usage): outFields=*
definitionExpression Description: The definition expression to be applied to the related table / layer. From the list of records that are related to the specified objectIds, only those records that conform to this expression will be returned.

Example: definitionExpression=POP2000 > 100000
returnGeometry Description: If true, the featureset includes the geometry associated with each feature. The default is true.

Note that this parameter only applies to related layers. It will be ignored for related tables.

Values: true | false
maxAllowableOffset //This option was added at 10.0

Description: This option can be used to specify the maximum allowable offset to be used for generalizing geometries returned by the query related records operation.

The maxAllowableOffset is in the units of the outSR. If outSR is not specified then maxAllowableOffset is assumed to be in the unit of the spatial reference of the map.

Example: maxAllowableOffset=2
geometryPrecision //This option was added at 10.1

Description: This option can be used to specify the number of decimal places in the response geometries returned by the queryRelatedRecords operation.

This applies to X and Y values only (not m or z-values).

Example: geometryPrecision=3
outSR Description: The spatial reference of the returned geometry.

The spatial reference can be specified as either a well-known ID or as a spatial reference json object.

If outSR is not specified, the geometry is returned in the spatial reference of the map.

Note that this parameter only applies to related layers. It will be ignored for related tables.
returnZ //This option was added at 10.1

Description: If true, Z values will be included in the results if the features have Z values. Otherwise Z values are not returned. The default is false.

Note this parameter only applies if returnGeometry is true.
returnM //This option was added at 10.1

Description: If true, M values will be included in the results if the features have M values. Otherwise M values are not returned. The default is false.

Note this parameter only applies if returnGeometry is true.
gdbVersion //This option was added at 10.1

Description: GeoDatabase version to query. This parameter applies only if hasVersionedData property of the service and isDataVersioned property of the layer(s) queried are true.
If this is not specified, query will apply to published map's version.

Syntax: gdbVersion=<geodatabase version>
Example: gdbVersion=sde.USER1
