Linq - Correct format for Left Join [duplicate] - c#

This question already has answers here:
Linq-to-Entities Join vs GroupJoin
(3 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am new to linq... and I am wondering if I am doing it right..
Here's my code...
var result = from a in ctx.ItemReceipts
join b in ctx.ItemReceiptStatusTypes on a.Status equals b.ItemReceiptStatusTypeID
join c in ctx.PurchaseOrders on a.ReferenceID equals c.PurchaseOrderID
into leftJoinItemReceipts
from d in leftJoinItemReceipts.DefaultIfEmpty()
where a.ItemReceiptID.Equals(ItemReceiptID)
select new
{
CItemReceiptID = a.ItemReceiptID,
CTransactionNumber = a.TransactionNumber,
CRemarks = a.Remarks,
CStatus = a.Status,
CStatusType = b.Description,
CReferenceID = a.ReferenceID,
CReferenceTypeID = a.ReferenceTypeID,
CTransactionDate = a.TransactionDate,
CDateReceived = a.DateReceived,
CTotalCost = a.TotalCost,
CPONumber = d.PONumber
};
It runs perfectly... but I really can't understand the into part.. I dunno if it's really a left join but gives me the data that I want... it gives me all data in itemreceipts even though they don't have something in common with PurchaseOrder....
I need explanation... better a comparison between mysql and linq...

from a in ctx.ItemReceipts
join b in ctx.ItemReceiptStatusTypes on a.Status equals b.ItemReceiptStatusTypeID
into leftJoinItemReceipts
from d in leftJoinItemReceipts.DefaultIfEmpty()
join c in ctx.PurchaseOrders on d.ReferenceID equals c.PurchaseOrderID
This will do a left join on ItemReceipts and ItemReceiptStatusTypes and then a inner join with PurchaseOrders

Equivalent of Left outer join in LINQ [duplicate]

LEFT OUTER JOIN in LINQ
(24 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have a T-SQL query
SELECT *
FROM BPM.tblEvaluationCatalogPlan
JOIN BPM.tblEvaluationCatalog ON BPM.tblEvaluationCatalogPlan.EvaluationCatalogId =
BPM.tblEvaluationCatalog.EvaluationCatalogId
JOIN BPM.tblMeasureProcess ON BPM.tblEvaluationCatalog.MeasureProcessId =
BPM.tblMeasureProcess.MeasureProcessId
JOIN dbo.tblMeasureCatalog ON BPM.tblMeasureProcess.MeasureCatalogId =
dbo.tblMeasureCatalog.MeasureCatalogId
LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblMeasureUnit ON dbo.tblMeasureCatalog.MeasureUnitId =
dbo.tblMeasureUnit.MeasureUnitId
And I've written a LINQ Query for it
from m in tblEvaluationCatalogPlan
join l in tblEvaluationCatalog.Where(y => y.PlanId == PlanId) on
m.EvaluationCatalogId equals l.EvaluationCatalogId
join k in tblMeasureProcess.Where(x => x.ProcessId == ProcessId) on
l.MeasureProcessId equals k.MeasureProcessId
join j in tblMeasureCatalog on k.MeasureCatalogId equals
j.MeasureCatalogId
join i in tblMeasureUnit on j.MeasureUnitId equals i.MeasureUnitId
select new EvaluationCatalogPlanEntity
{
EvaluationCatalogPlan = m,
EvaluationCatalog = l,
MeasureProcess = k,
MeasureCatalog = j,
MeasureUnit = i
}
But Their output aren't the same.
What is the exact equivalent of the T-SQL Query in LINQ?
Try http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/vstudio/ee908647.aspx#leftouterjoin
var leftFinal =
from l in lefts
join r in rights on l equals r.Left into lrs
from lr in lrs.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { LeftId = l.Id, RightId = ((l.Key==r.Key) ? r.Id : 0 };
you should put code in the code format so it's easier to read.
I have been able to achieve this result with group joins. Take a look here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397895(v=vs.120).aspx
Should be possible to get what it seems you are looking for.

Linq Join: Unable to join 2 List based on 2 Id's [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
LINQ Join with Multiple Conditions in On Clause
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have 2 Tables AtdDailyAttendance and AcdAdmissionSessionDetails. I want to join these 2 tables from linq based on 2 ids, which means in Sql this join looks like
SELECT a.Id, a.DateId,
a.StudentLedgerId, a.AttendanceTypeId,
a.SchoolId, a.UserId, a.SessionId,
d.ClassId,d.MediumId,
d.StreamId, d.ShiftId,
d.SectionId
FROM AtdDailyAttendance a INNER JOIN AcdAdmissionSessionDetail d
ON a.StudentLedgerId = d.StudentLedgerId AND a.SessionId = d.SessionId
But in LINQ I'm unable to do this. I tried this way
var query =
from a in dbCOntext.AtdDailyAttendances
join b in dbCOntext.AcdAdmissionSessionDetails
on a.StudentLedgerId equals b.StudentLedgerId
// on a.SessionId equlas b.SessionId
select new
{
a.AtdSetedDatesForAttendance,
a.DateId,
a.StudentLedgerId,
a.SchoolId,
a.UserId,
a.SessionId,
b.ClassId,
b.SectionId,
b.MediumId,
b.StreamId
}
var liResult = query.ToList();
Here I'm unable to perform join between SessionId.
I think you're looking for:
var liResult = (from a in dbCOntext.AtdDailyAttendances
join b in dbCOntext.AcdAdmissionSessionDetails
on new { a.StudentLedgerId, a.SessionId }
equals new { b.StudentLedgerId, b.SessionId}
See if this will work:
dbContext.AtdDailyAttendances.Join(dbContext.AcAdmissionSessionDetails, m => m.StudentLedgerId, n => n.StudentLedgerId, (m, n) => new{
m.AcdAdmissionSessionDetails,
m.DateId,
m.StudentLedgerId,
m.SchoolId,
m.UserId,
AttendanceSessionId = n.SessionId,
AdmissionSessionId = m.SessionId,
n.ClassId,
n.SectionId,
n.MediumId,
n.StreamId
}).Where(n => n.AttendanceSessionId == n.AdmissionSessionId).ToList();

Entity Framework Left out join taking forever (performance issues)

I'm using the entity framework and linq to do multiple left outer joins but it takes 3 seconds to run the query through the entity framework.
I used ((System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery)query).ToTraceString(); and tested the sql statement in management studio and it executed instantly.
Here is the linq code.
var query = from Inventory in db.INVENTORies

Create database view for this query and map the view to new read only entity. After that compare differences between pure LINQ execution and a new execution. If the problem was with converting your terrible LINQ query to SQL you will avoid it by using this approach. If it is still slow the problem will be elsewhere.
Guys in comments said that you have to re-write it in T-SQL. True. You can try one of SQL to LINQ converter tools.
Also use MS SQL Profiler to see what happens and improve TSQL performance.
Try to add indexes but not too much :)

Converting SQL to LINQ with INNER JOIN()?

I am struggling with how to write the below equivalent as LINQ. Truly I guess I am only struggling with how I represent the INNER JOIN () portion. Is that called a Nested Join? Anonymous Join? I am not even sure. Anyway, big thanks to anyone who can point me true. Even if it is just what this is called so I can BING it properly.
SELECT p.PersonID, p.FirstName, p.MiddleName, p.LastName, cp.EnrollmentID, cp.EnrollmentDate, cp.DisenrollmentDate
FROM vwPersonInfo AS p
INNER JOIN (
SELECT c.ClientID, c.EnrollmentID, c.EnrollmentDate, c.DisenrollmentDate
FROM tblCMOEnrollment AS c
LEFT OUTER JOIN tblWorkerHistory AS wh
ON c.EnrollmentID = wh.EnrollmentID
INNER JOIN tblStaffExtended AS se
ON wh.Worker = se.StaffID
WHERE (wh.EndDate IS NULL OR wh.EndDate >= getdate())
AND wh.Worker = --WorkerID Param Here
) AS cp
ON p.PersonID = cp.ClientID
ORDER BY p.PersonID
just put the inner query in its own variable. (It will be translated into one single SQL expression)
var innerQuery = from x in db.tblCMOEnrollment
where ...
select ...;
var query = from a in vwPersonInfo
join b innerQuery on p.PersonID equals cp.ClientID
select ...;
I think you can do this by writing a second method and joining on that method:
private static IEnumerable<Table> GetData(int joinKey)
{
return (from x in context.TableB.Where(id => id.Key == joinKey select x).AsQueryable();
}
Then you can do your normal query:
var query = from c in context.TableA
join GetData(c.PrimaryKeyValue)

Convert SQL query to LINQ

I have a beginners LINQ2SQL question. I have this huge (but not complex) SQL statement:
SELECT Artikel.ArtikelID,
Artikel.CategorieID,
Artikel.ImageFile,
Artikel.RetailPrijs,
ISNULL(ShopArtikel.VerkoopsPrijs, Artikel.VerkoopsPrijs) AS VerkoopsPrijs,
Artikel.ArtikelCode,
Artikel.InAssortimentSinds,
ArtikelTaal.ArtikelNaam,
ArtikelTaal.ArtikelOmschrijving
FROM Artikel
INNER JOIN ArtikelTaal ON Artikel.ArtikelID = ArtikelTaal.ArtikelID
INNER JOIN ShopArtikel ON Artikel.ArtikelID = ShopArtikel.ArtikelID
INNER JOIN Categorie ON Artikel.CategorieID = Categorie.CategorieID
INNER JOIN CategorieTaal ON Categorie.CategorieID = CategorieTaal.CategorieID
INNER JOIN Shop ON ShopArtikel.ShopId = Shop.ShopID
INNER JOIN CategorieGroepShop ON Shop.ShopID = CategorieGroepShop.ShopId
INNER JOIN Taal ON ArtikelTaal.TaalCode = Taal.TaalCode AND CategorieTaal.TaalCode = Taal.TaalCode
INNER JOIN CategorieGroepTaal ON Taal.TaalCode = CategorieGroepTaal.TaalCode AND CategorieGroepShop.CategorieGroepId = CategorieGroepTaal.CategorieGroepID
INNER JOIN CategorieGroep ON Categorie.CategorieGroepID = CategorieGroep.CategorieGroepID AND CategorieGroepTaal.CategorieGroepID = CategorieGroep.CategorieGroepID AND CategorieGroepShop.CategorieGroepId = CategorieGroep.CategorieGroepID
WHERE (Shop.ShopID = 23) AND
(Taal.TaalCode = 'dut') AND
(Artikel.Onzichtbaar = 0) AND
(Artikel.NietBestelbaar = 0) AND
(Categorie.Onzichtbaar = 0) AND
(Artikel.Voorraad >= Artikel.LevertijdDrempel)
and I am converting this to LINQ and have this:
var allProducts = from artikelen in dc.Artikels
join sa in dc.ShopArtikels on artikelen.ArtikelID equals sa.ArtikelID
join at in dc.ArtikelTaals on artikelen.ArtikelID equals at.ArtikelID
join cat in dc.Categories on artikelen.CategorieID equals cat.CategorieID
join catt in dc.CategorieTaals on cat.CategorieID equals catt.CategorieID
join catg in dc.CategorieGroeps on cat.CategorieGroepID equals catg.CategorieGroepID
join catgt in dc.CategorieGroepTaals on catg.CategorieGroepID equals catgt.CategorieGroepID
join sh in dc.Shops on sa.ShopId equals sh.ShopID
join catgs in dc.CategorieGroepShops on sh.ShopID equals catgs.ShopId
join tl in dc.Taals on new { tc1 = at.TaalCode, tc2 = catgt.TaalCode } equals new { tc1 = tl.TaalCode, tc2 = tl.TaalCode }
where sh.ShopID == shop.BLL.Business.ShopController.CurrentShop.Id
select dc.Artikels;
but I have the idea that I made some (minor) mistakes while joining.
any ideas please!
EDIT
I have rewritten the LINQ query to this:
var allProducts = from artikelen in dc.Artikels
join at in dc.ArtikelTaals on artikelen.ArtikelID equals at.ArtikelID
join sa in dc.ShopArtikels on artikelen.ArtikelID equals sa.ArtikelID
join cat in dc.Categories on artikelen.CategorieID equals cat.CategorieID
join catt in dc.CategorieTaals on cat.CategorieID equals catt.CategorieID
join sh in dc.Shops on sa.ShopId equals sh.ShopID
join catgs in dc.CategorieGroepShops on sh.ShopID equals catgs.ShopId
join tl in dc.Taals on new { tc1 = at.TaalCode, tc2 = catt.TaalCode } equals new { tc1 = tl.TaalCode, tc2 = tl.TaalCode }
join catgt in dc.CategorieGroepTaals on new { tl.TaalCode, catgs.CategorieGroepId } equals new { catgt.TaalCode, catgt.CategorieGroepID }
join catg in dc.CategorieGroeps on new { cat.CategorieGroepID, catgt.CategorieGroepID, catgs.CategorieGroepId } equals new { catg.CategorieGroepID, catg.CategorieGroepID, catg.CategorieGroepID }
where sh.ShopID == 230
select dc.Artikels;
but I have a syntax error after "dut" }
Edit 2:
changed the join and replaced "dut" with the corresponding field in the database.
still have the error after the first }
it says: type inference failed in the call to 'Join'
Some of the SQL joins have multiple join conditions, which you didn't put in the LINQ query.
If this is something that will be frequently run then you should rewrite it as a stored procedure. I believe it is too convoluted and complex for a LINQ statement - too hard to see what's going on.
There is a tool for it, but I didn't try it. May be it's usefull for you.
http://www.sqltolinq.com/
It looks like the error line is actually a "Where" cause but not "Joining".
You can actually split the whole long Linq statement into smaller Query.
so for this case, its better to split it like this:
var at = from a in dc.ArtikelTaals
where a.TaalCode == "dut"
select a;
var catt = from c in dc.CategorieTaals
where c.TaalCode == "dut"
select c;
.....
and you can join the IQueryable "at" and "catt" in your complex query later.
