(Quick Reference) ## where ### Purpose Defines a new `grails.gorm.DetachedCriteria` instance that uses a disjunction (logical OR). ### Examples Basic query:
    def query = Person.whereAny {
       firstName == "Bart"
       firstName == "Lisa"
    }
    Person bart = query.find()
### Description The `where` method defaults to a conjunction (logical AND) for the created query. The `whereAny` compliments the `where` method by allowing the creation of `DetachedCriteria` using a disjunction (logical OR). The `where` method is a powerful new type-safe querying option introduced in Grails 2.0. For more information on using the `where` method see the dedicated section on Where Queries and Detached Criteria in the user guide. | Quick Reference (hide)
