How to convert C# Linq to query in SQL Server?

I'm a junior developer and trying to convert the following linq statement to T-SQL:
var items = from u in DataContext.Users_SearchUsers(searchPara.UserFirstName,
searchPara.UserLastName,
searchPara.UserEmailAddress,
fetchOptions.page,
fetchOptions.rp,
fetchOptions.sortname,
fetchOptions.sortorder)
.ToList()
join a in DataContext.UserAccesses
.Where(x => x.Access.AccessTypeId == 4).ToList() on u.UserID equals a.UserId into accessGroup
select new {};
Can one please help me ? into accessGroup ---> (very important)

First of all you need to understand where your data is coming from. You are loading information from Users_SearchUsers on the one hand and UserAccesses on the other hand. The first query looks like
select <somecolumns>
from users
where <somefilters>;
(you need to use your actual columns and criteria, but Users_SearchUsers is not specified in the question at all). I have ignored paging here for the sake of simplicity
The second query looks like this:
select *
from user_accesses
where access_type_id = 4;
Let's join the two:
select <someoutercolumns>
from
(
select <someinnercolumns>
from users
where <somefilters>
) t1
join
(
select <someotherinnercolumns>
from user_accesses
where access_type_id = 4
) t2
on t1.user_id = t2.user_id;
These queries are probably not the exact solutions you need, but you want the answers to improve, then improve your question.
The requirement makes sense if the LINQ query is very slow. In that case you will need to refactor it in the following manner:
select <somecolumns>
from users
join user_accesses
on users.user_id = user_accesses.user_id and user_accesses.access_type_id = 4
where <somefilters>;

you can use this code
select *(you can put your columns instead *)
from Users
join UserAccesses
on Users.userid = UserAccesses.userid
where UserAccesses.typeid = 4;

Wants this Sql Query in Linq

How to write below given Sql Query in Linq?
SELECT
Invoice.ExtInvoiceId AS Id,
Invoice.ExtClientBranchId,
Invoice.CustomerReference,
Invoice.CountryDataSetId,
Invoice.JmsJobNumber,
Invoice.InvoiceDate,
Invoice.TotalAmount,
Invoice.RequestedBy,
Invoice.DateCreated,
PaidTable.Paid,
Invoice.So_Terms_Disc,
'' AS RequestedByValue,
Client.ParentId,
Invoice.CurrencyCode
FROM Invoice
INNER JOIN Client
ON Invoice.ExtClientBranchId = Client.ExtClientBranchId
LEFT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT
ExtInvoiceId,
(CASE WHEN SUM(TotalAmount) = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS Paid
FROM [Transaction] GROUP BY ExtInvoiceId
) AS PaidTable
ON Invoice.ExtInvoiceId = PaidTable.ExtInvoiceId

Hey yes the query looks it has few operations/join to be dealt with , so approach it step by step :
Fetch all the records , using inner join
Try using left outer join
Further simplify the query to the best of what you need.
Also note if you are visual-studio , it gives you this best interface wherein you can get to know at which point your linq is correct and what all options you can use with it.

Selecting a new object without grouping in linq?

I am trying to write a query to collect the Job number, start date, customer name, Model, and completion date for jobs at my work. To get this info, I look at 3 different tables, using joins to put them together. Here are the three tables:
STAGE - (stages each job goes through during production)
ORDER - (this is where I get the customer's name)
JOBS (start date, completion date, job number, model)
So most of the info is from the JOBS table. But I'm joining onto the ORDER table by Job Number (JobNum) to obtain the customer's name. Here's what the query looks like. I created it in SQL before I tried to translate it into one of my ViewModels:
var CompletedTrucksQuery =
(from FA in context.JOBS
join ORD in context.ORDER on FA.ORGANIZATION_ID equals ORD.ORGANIZATION_ID
where FA.ORDER_NUMBER == ORD.ORDER_NUMBER
join StageF in context.STAGE on FA.JobNum equals StageF.JobNum
where StageF.StageID == 325
join TruckComp in context.STAGE on FA.JobNum equals TruckComp.JobNum
where TruckComp.StageID == 327
join INSP in context.STAGE on FA.JobNum equals INSP.JobNum
where INSP.StageID == 487
orderby StageF.CompDate descending, FA.JobNum ascending
select new {FA.JobNum, FA.StartDate, ORD.CUSTOMER_NAME, FA.MODEL_NAME, StageF.CompDate});
At this point, I'm wanting to select the
Job number (from JOBS),
the start date, (From JOBS),
the Customer's name (from ORDER),
the Model of product (from JOBS),
and the date it was completed in StageF (from STAGE)
as you can see in my select statement. I DO have an object to hold each of these called CompJob, and have tried to do a 'group by' and select a new CompJob and set the properties, but I can't seem to group it right and get 'access' to all of the properties I want to set. Here's an excerpt of what I'm talking about:
group new {FA.JobNum, O = ORD} by StageF into grp
select new CompletedTruck
{
JobNum = grp.Key.JobNum,
StartDate = grp. //???
}
As you can tell I stopped, because for some reason I couldn't 'find' the start date. I know it's something to do with my grouping. I'm very new to linq and databases, in general.
MY QUESTION: What's the best way I can select these columns of interest into my
ObservableCollection<CompJob> CompJobList;
so that I may use it in my scrollviewer in a view?

Thanks to everyone for helping me out. I solved the issue and this is what I did. I followed Gert Arnold's suggestion of selecting a new CompJob object. This would set each row of the query to a new object:
select new CompJob {JobNum = FA.JobNum, StartDate = FA.StartDate, Customer = ORD.CUSTOMER_NAME,.....}
and then said
).ToList();
At the end of the query. Then I set my ObservableCollection to the list returned by my query:
CompJobList = CompletedTrucksQuery ;
Thanks again for helping me out; I know I'm new to all of this!

How to translate SQL statement with multiple join conditions based on subquery to LINQ

This might be one of those situations where plain SQL commands are better than LINQ. Here's a simplified version of the SQL statement I'm trying to translate:
SELECT * FROM IDTable AS idt
INNER JOIN NameTable AS nt ON nt.IDTableID=idt.Id
AND nt.Id= (SELECT TOP(1) Id
FROM NameTable AS nt2
WHERE nt2.IDTableID=11 ORDER BY nt2.DateInserted DESC)
I have the LINQ query to pull records when just joining on IDs and I've seen how to join on multiple columns, but I have no idea how to plug the subquery into the mix.
If this isnt entirely clear, please let me know and I'll edit to elaborate.

Maybe something like this?
var results = from id in db.IDTable
join n in db.NameTable on id.Id equals n.IDTableID
where n.Id = (
from n2 in db.NameTable
where n2.IDTableID = 11
orderby n2.DateInserted desc
).First()
select new { id, n };

NHibernate: hql to criteria query - help needed

I have this hql query, which works perfect:
select m
from Media m
join m.Productlines p
join m.Categories c
join m.Spaces sp
join m.Solutions so
where m.Uid != 0
and p.Uid in (:productlines)
and c.Uid in (13)
and sp.Uid in (52)
and so.Uid in (15,18)
group by m.Uid
But now it needs to be parameterized/made dynamic, not only the parameters, but also the joins (it is possible to select only from Media, without any joins, and so no *.Uid in will be required in this case).
I dont want to mess around with a StringBuilder instance and build the hql query that way, I would rather like to use the Criteria API, but I cant get a
SELECT m.*
....
GROUP BY m.Uid
query to work with Criteria.
If I add a
Projections.GroupProperty("Uid")
to my query, nhibernate selects
SELECT m.Uid
....
GROUP BY m.Uid
which is of course wrong.
After that, I also need to count the unique rows the query returned, as the result is paged.
So, my other query is quite similiar, but I cant find a Criteria equivalent for
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT m.Uid)
Here is the HQL:
select count(distinct m.Uid)
from Media m
join m.Productlines p
join m.Categories c
join m.Spaces sp
join m.Solutions so
where m.Uid != 0
and p.Uid in (:productlines)
and c.Uid in (13)
and sp.Uid in (52)
and so.Uid in (15,18)
How can this be done with Criteria API?
Please, (N)Hibernate experts - help me with this, I cant find a working solution. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Group columns are implicitly returned as result, but you can add more columns. AFAIK, you can return full entities:
var query = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Media), "m")
.Add(Projections.GroupProperty("m"))
.Add(Restrictions.NotEq("m.Uid", 0));
// dynamically add filters
if (filterProductLines)
{
query
.CreateCriteria("m.Productlines", "p")
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("p.Uid", productLines));
}
// more dynamic filters of this kind follow here...
IList<Media> results = query.List<Media>();
To count the full number of results you can just build up the same query with different projection:
var query = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Media), "m")
.SetProjection(Projections.CountDistinct("m.Uid"));
// rest of the query the same way as above
long totalNumberOfResults = query.UniqueResult<long>();
I'm getting unsure about the Projections.GroupProperty("m"), you need to try this. If it doesn't work, you could make it an DetachedQuery that only returns ids:
var subquery = DetachedCriteria.For(typeof(Media), "m")
.Add(Projections.GroupProperty("m.Uid"))
.Add(Restrictions.NotEq("m.Uid", 0));
// add filtering
var query = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Media), "outer")
.Add(Subqueries.PropertyIn("outer.Uid", subquery));
IList<Media> results = query.List<Media>();
This creates a sql query like this:
select outer.* // all properties of Media to create an instance
from Media outer
where outer.Uid in (
select Uid
from media m
where // filter
)

var count = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Media))
// Add other criterias...
.SetProjection(Projections.CountDistinct("Id")) // or whatever the id property of Media class is called
.UniqueResult<long>();
As to your GROUP BY question, the query:
SELECT m.*
....
GROUP BY m.Uid
makes no sense because you need to select only columns that appear in the group by clause or aggregate functions. Could you elaborate a little more as to what exactly are you trying to achieve?
