  - dynamicQuery

DynamicQuery dynamicQuery()
```
  - dynamicQuery
```
<T> List<T> dynamicQuery(DynamicQuery dynamicQuery)
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns the matching rows.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    
    Returns:
    
    the matching rows
  - dynamicQuery
```
<T> List<T> dynamicQuery(DynamicQuery dynamicQuery,
                         int start,
                         int end)
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns a range of the matching rows.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl. If both orderByComparator and pagination are absent, for performance reasons, the query will not have an ORDER BY clause and the returned result set will be sorted on by the primary key in an ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    
    start - the lower bound of the range of model instances
    
    end - the upper bound of the range of model instances (not inclusive)
    
    Returns:
    
    the range of matching rows
  - dynamicQuery

                         OrderByComparator<T> orderByComparator)
```
    Performs a dynamic query on the database and returns an ordered range of the matching rows.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl.

    Parameters:
    
    dynamicQuery - the dynamic query
    
    start - the lower bound of the range of model instances
    
    end - the upper bound of the range of model instances (not inclusive)
    
    orderByComparator - the comparator to order the results by (optionally null)
    
    Returns:
    
    the ordered range of matching rows

```
    Returns a range of all the groups.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil.ALL_POS will return the full result set. If orderByComparator is specified, then the query will include the given ORDER BY logic. If orderByComparator is absent and pagination is required (start and end are not QueryUtil.ALL_POS), then the query will include the default ORDER BY logic from GroupModelImpl. If both orderByComparator and pagination are absent, for performance reasons, the query will not have an ORDER BY clause and the returned result set will be sorted on by the primary key in an ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the lower bound of the range of groups
    
    end - the upper bound of the range of groups (not inclusive)
    
    Returns:

    Returns an ordered range of all the groups belonging to the parent group that match the class name IDs and keywords, optionally including the user's inherited organization groups and user groups. System and staged groups are not included.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil#ALL_POS will return the full result set.

    keywords - the keywords (space separated), which may occur in the sites's name, or description (optionally null)
    
    params - the finder params (optionally null). To include a user's organizations, inherited organizations, and user groups in the search, add an entry with key "usersGroups" mapped to the user's ID and an entry with key "inherit" mapped to a non-null object.

```
    Returns an ordered range of all the groups that match the class name IDs, name, and description, optionally including the user's inherited organization groups and user groups. System and staged groups are not included.
    Useful when paginating results. Returns a maximum of end - start instances. start and end are not primary keys, they are indexes in the result set. Thus, 0 refers to the first result in the set. Setting both start and end to QueryUtil#ALL_POS will return the full result set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    companyId - the primary key of the company
    
    classNameIds - the primary keys of the class names of the entities the groups are related to (optionally null)
    
    name - the group's name (optionally null)
    
    description - the group's description (optionally null)
    
    params - the finder params (optionally null). To include a user's organizations, inherited organizations, and user groups in the search, add an entry with key "usersGroups" mapped to the user's ID and an entry with key "inherit" mapped to a non-null object. For more information see GroupFinder.
    
    andOperator - whether every field must match its keywords, or just one field.
    
    start - the lower bound of the range of groups to return
    
    end - the upper bound of the range of groups to return (not inclusive)
    
    obc - the comparator to order the groups (optionally null)
    
    Returns:
    
    the matching groups ordered by comparator obc
