I'm using sql profiler to see sql generated by Ef core2.1,
this is my linq query :
var resulat = (from a in A
join b in B equals a.level=b.level
where ...
select new M1 {AId = a.id}).Distinct();
(from r in resulat
join c in C equals r.AId = c.AId
select new M2
{
CId = c.Id,
level = _helper(c.level)
}).Distinct();
Sql generated:
select t.AId,c.Id,c.level
from
(
select distinct a.id
from A a
inner join B b on a.level=b.level
where ...
) as t
inner join C c on t.AId = c.AId
What i want as result is :
select distinct c.Id,c.level
from
(
select distinct a.id
from A a
inner join B b on a.level=b.level
where ...
) as t
inner join C c on t.AId = c.AId
I have tried also using select/distinct with result IQueryable, but the sql generated is the same.
what i missed in my linq query or what i have to add to have this sql query
That's what worked for me:
Delete Distinct() from result query, this avoid adding t.AId to my selection.
Delete a helper method from one of my selection fields performe adding Distinct() to final query.
This is my query after correction:
var resulat = from a in A
join b in B equals a.level=b.level
where ...
select new M1 {AId = a.id};
(from r in resulat
join c in C equals r.AId = c.AId
select new M2
{
CId = c.Id
level = c.level
}).Distinct();
Many thanks for your comments, it really helped me.
I'm always a fan of querying the data you want directly from the table (well, DbSet) that returns the data. The process looks a bit like these steps:
I want C.Id and C.Level
That's context.Cs.
Which Cs do I want?
The ones that have a parent A, of which at least one B has the same 'level' as A and meets a couple of other criteria (the where ...).
That amounts to:
from c in context.Cs
where context.Bs.Any(b => b.level == c.A.level && <other criteria>)
select new { c.Id, c.Level }
If the where ... also contains filter criteria for A you can add predicates like && c.A == ... to the where.
Note that I assume a navigation property c.A to be present, otherwise to be created, because C has AId.
Please note below is entirely made up for example sake. I have a similar query based on an sql code but couldn't translate it to LINQ to get correct value.
The sql basically looks like this:
select * from customers c
join proucts p on c.id = p.customerid
join credit r on r.customerid=c.id and ISNULL(r.trandate, c.registeredDate) >= c.registeredDate
I also tried to tweak the above sql and put the condition inside where and it also returns the same value I am getting in my #2 LINQ below(which is incorrect).
How can I use c (customer) inside .Where of credit? see code
1.
from c in customers
join p in products on c.id = p.customerid
join cr in credit.Where(r=> r.tranDate => c.registeredDate!=null?c.registeredDate : r.purchaseDate) on c.id=cr.customerid
...
2.
I know you would suggest why not just put it in a where below like below but I am getting incorrect value.
from c in customers
join p in products on c.id = p.customerid
join cr in credit on c.id=cr.customerid
where r.tranDate => c.registeredDate!=null?c.registeredDate : r.purchaseDate
Is there a workaround? I have tried tons of others but won't get me the correct one.
LINQ supports only equijoins. Any additional criteria should go to where clause. And yes, the other range variables are inaccessible from the join inner sequence, so the filtering should happen before or after the join.
So this SQL query:
select * from customers c
join products p on c.id = p.customerid
join credit r on r.customerid = c.id
and ISNULL(r.trandate, c.registeredDate) >= c.registeredDate
directly translates to this LINQ query:
from c in customers
join p in products on c.id equals p.customerid
join cr in credit on c.id equals cr.customerid
where (cr.tranDate ?? c.registeredDate) >= c.registeredDate
select new { c, p, cr };
Optionally, the condition
(cr.tranDate ?? c.registeredDate) >= c.registeredDate
can be replaced with
(cr.tranDate == null || cr.tranDate >= c.registeredDate)
I want to check values that are present in other table, not from fixed list or array. here is an example of what I need. Actually I am querying EF.
Database_EF db = new Database_EF();
var listA = (from a in db.a
where a.id in
(from b in db.b
join c in db.c on b.id equals c.id
where c.col1 equals 'something'
select b.id)
select a.id).ToList();
I am new to linq. Thanks.
Should be something like this:
var listA = (from a in db.a
where (from b in db.b
join c in db.c on b.id equals c.id
where c.col1 == "something"
select b.id).Contains(a.id)
select a.id).ToList();
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)
I'm writing a LINQ to SQL statement, and I'm after the standard syntax for a normal inner join with an ON clause in C#.
How do you represent the following in LINQ to SQL:
select DealerContact.*
from Dealer
inner join DealerContact on Dealer.DealerID = DealerContact.DealerID
It goes something like:
from t1 in db.Table1
join t2 in db.Table2 on t1.field equals t2.field
select new { t1.field2, t2.field3}
It would be nice to have sensible names and fields for your tables for a better example. :)
Update
I think for your query this might be more appropriate:
var dealercontacts = from contact in DealerContact
join dealer in Dealer on contact.DealerId equals dealer.ID
select contact;
Since you are looking for the contacts, not the dealers.
And because I prefer the expression chain syntax, here is how you do it with that:
var dealerContracts = DealerContact.Join(Dealer,
contact => contact.DealerId,
dealer => dealer.DealerId,
(contact, dealer) => contact);
To extend the expression chain syntax answer by Clever Human:
If you wanted to do things (like filter or select) on fields from both tables being joined together -- instead on just one of those two tables -- you could create a new object in the lambda expression of the final parameter to the Join method incorporating both of those tables, for example:
var dealerInfo = DealerContact.Join(Dealer,
dc => dc.DealerId,
d => d.DealerId,
(dc, d) => new { DealerContact = dc, Dealer = d })
.Where(dc_d => dc_d.Dealer.FirstName == "Glenn"
&& dc_d.DealerContact.City == "Chicago")
.Select(dc_d => new {
dc_d.Dealer.DealerID,
dc_d.Dealer.FirstName,
dc_d.Dealer.LastName,
dc_d.DealerContact.City,
dc_d.DealerContact.State });
The interesting part is the lambda expression in line 4 of that example:
(dc, d) => new { DealerContact = dc, Dealer = d }
...where we construct a new anonymous-type object which has as properties the DealerContact and Dealer records, along with all of their fields.
We can then use fields from those records as we filter and select the results, as demonstrated by the remainder of the example, which uses dc_d as a name for the anonymous object we built which has both the DealerContact and Dealer records as its properties.
var results = from c in db.Companies
join cn in db.Countries on c.CountryID equals cn.ID
join ct in db.Cities on c.CityID equals ct.ID
join sect in db.Sectors on c.SectorID equals sect.ID
where (c.CountryID == cn.ID) && (c.CityID == ct.ID) && (c.SectorID == company.SectorID) && (company.SectorID == sect.ID)
select new { country = cn.Name, city = ct.Name, c.ID, c.Name, c.Address1, c.Address2, c.Address3, c.CountryID, c.CityID, c.Region, c.PostCode, c.Telephone, c.Website, c.SectorID, Status = (ContactStatus)c.StatusID, sector = sect.Name };
return results.ToList();
You create a foreign key, and LINQ-to-SQL creates navigation properties for you. Each Dealer will then have a collection of DealerContacts which you can select, filter, and manipulate.
from contact in dealer.DealerContacts select contact
or
context.Dealers.Select(d => d.DealerContacts)
If you're not using navigation properties, you're missing out one of the main benefits on LINQ-to-SQL - the part that maps the object graph.
Use Linq Join operator:
var q = from d in Dealer
join dc in DealerConact on d.DealerID equals dc.DealerID
select dc;
basically LINQ join operator provides no benefit for SQL. I.e. the following query
var r = from dealer in db.Dealers
from contact in db.DealerContact
where dealer.DealerID == contact.DealerID
select dealerContact;
will result in INNER JOIN in SQL
join is useful for IEnumerable<> because it is more efficient:
from contact in db.DealerContact
clause would be re-executed for every dealer
But for IQueryable<> it is not the case. Also join is less flexible.
Actually, often it is better not to join, in linq that is. When there are navigation properties a very succinct way to write your linq statement is:
from dealer in db.Dealers
from contact in dealer.DealerContacts
select new { whatever you need from dealer or contact }
It translates to a where clause:
SELECT <columns>
FROM Dealer, DealerContact
WHERE Dealer.DealerID = DealerContact.DealerID
Inner join two tables in linq C#
var result = from q1 in table1
join q2 in table2
on q1.Customer_Id equals q2.Customer_Id
select new { q1.Name, q1.Mobile, q2.Purchase, q2.Dates }
Use LINQ joins to perform Inner Join.
var employeeInfo = from emp in db.Employees
join dept in db.Departments
on emp.Eid equals dept.Eid
select new
{
emp.Ename,
dept.Dname,
emp.Elocation
};
Try this :
var data =(from t1 in dataContext.Table1 join
t2 in dataContext.Table2 on
t1.field equals t2.field
orderby t1.Id select t1).ToList();
OperationDataContext odDataContext = new OperationDataContext();
var studentInfo = from student in odDataContext.STUDENTs
join course in odDataContext.COURSEs
on student.course_id equals course.course_id
select new { student.student_name, student.student_city, course.course_name, course.course_desc };
Where student and course tables have primary key and foreign key relationship
try instead this,
var dealer = from d in Dealer
join dc in DealerContact on d.DealerID equals dc.DealerID
select d;
var Data= (from dealer in Dealer join dealercontact in DealerContact on dealer.ID equals dealercontact.DealerID
select new{
dealer.Id,
dealercontact.ContactName
}).ToList();
var data=(from t in db.your tableName(t1)
join s in db.yourothertablename(t2) on t1.fieldname equals t2.feldname
(where condtion)).tolist();
var list = (from u in db.Users join c in db.Customers on u.CustomerId equals c.CustomerId where u.Username == username
select new {u.UserId, u.CustomerId, u.ClientId, u.RoleId, u.Username, u.Email, u.Password, u.Salt, u.Hint1, u.Hint2, u.Hint3, u.Locked, u.Active,c.ProfilePic}).First();
Write table names you want, and initialize the select to get the result of fields.
from d1 in DealerContrac join d2 in DealerContrac on d1.dealearid equals d2.dealerid select new {dealercontract.*}
One Best example
Table Names : TBL_Emp and TBL_Dep
var result = from emp in TBL_Emp join dep in TBL_Dep on emp.id=dep.id
select new
{
emp.Name;
emp.Address
dep.Department_Name
}
foreach(char item in result)
{ // to do}
