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.
I am trying to join 3 tables in a query with Linq to get data from all 3 tables. Below is an image of the table schemes:
The query should select: SewagePlantName, CompanyName and Duty
In addition I need to restricts the SewagePlantId to a list of Ids that are given as:
var sewagePlantIds = UnitOfWork.GetAll<UserGroup>()
.Where(group => group.Id == webAppPrincipal.GroupId)
.SelectMany(group => group.SewagePlantId).Select(sewageplant => sewageplant.Id).ToList();
I have difficulties with the order of joining the 3 tables and where/how to restrict the SewagePlantId to the given list.
Can you try something similar to it please for joining part
from d in Duty
join c in Company on d.CompanyId equals c.id
join s in SewagePlant on c.SewagePlantId equals s.id
select new
{
duty = s.Duty.Duty,
CatId = s.Company.CompanyName,
SewagePlantName=s.SewagePlant.SewagePlantName
// other assignments
};
var obj = from trns in context.tblPartyRegistrations
join st in context.tblSellingTrans
on trns.PartyRegId equals st.Fk_PartyRegId
join pt in context.tblPartyRemainings
on trns.PartyRegId equals pt.fk_PartyId
select new
{
trns.Name,
trns.PhoneNo,
trns.Address,
st.RecivedAmount,
st.Date,
st.CustomerType,
st.MilkRate,
st.Mltr,
st.Mkg,
st.NtAmnt,
st.RemaningAmount,
pt.Remainingammount
};
Query below yields no results:
var query = from g in context.Groups
join sl in context.GroupDancerLinks on g.Id equals sl.GroupId into sls
join usl in context.GroupForeignDancerLinks on g.Id equals usl.GroupId into usls
from sl in sls.DefaultIfEmpty()
from usl in usls.DefaultIfEmpty()
where usl.IsLead
where sl.IsLead
select new GroupGridDTO
{
Id = g.Id,
LeadName = sl.Dancer.Name,
UnregisteredLeadName = usl.ForeignDancer.Name,
DancersCount = sls.Count(),
ForeignDancersCount = usls.Count()
};
However, when same query is modified to use FirstOrDefault, results are found:
var query = from g in context.Groups
join sl in context.GroupDancerLinks on g.Id equals sl.GroupId into sls
join usl in context.GroupForeignDancerLinks on g.Id equals usl.GroupId into usls
select new GroupGridDTO
{
Id = g.Id,
LeadName = sls.Where(sl => sl.IsLead).Select(sl => sl.Dancer.Name).FirstOrDefault(),
UnregisteredLeadName = usls.Where(usl => usl.IsLead).Select(usl => usl.ForeignDancer.Name).FirstOrDefault(),
DancersCount = sls.Count(),
ForeignDancersCount = usls.Count()
};
Looking on how queries are written, results should be the same. What is wrong with first query?
EDIT:
Tables "Groups" and "ForeignDancers" are related with M2M table "GroupForeignDancerLinks".
Tables "Groups" and "Dancers" are related with M2M table "GroupDancerLinks".
In the first query if a given row has IsLead as being false the row will be removed entirely. In the second query the row exists, you just leave the corresponding item's name blank.
The queries are also semantically different if there are multiple matches for a given row in the left table. The first will list all matching rows, the latter only the first.
I have two tables
TableA
aId
aValue
TableB
bId
aId
bValue
I want to join these two tables via aId, and from there, group them by bValue
var result =
from a in db.TableA
join b in db.TableB on a.aId equals b.aId
group b by b.bValue into x
select new {x};
My code doesn't recognize the join after the group. In other words, the grouping works, but the join doesn't (or at least I can't figure out how to access all of the data after the join).
The expression between the group and the by creates the group elements.
var result =
from a in db.TableA
join b in db.TableB on a.aId equals b.aId
group new {A = a, B = b} by b.bValue;
// demonstration of navigating the result
foreach(var g in result)
{
Console.WriteLine(g.Key);
foreach(var x in g)
{
Console.WriteLine(x.A.aId);
Console.WriteLine(x.B.bId);
}
}
Your result object will be an IQueryable<IGrouping<T>>, so you'd have to access one of the results collection, which will be IGrouping<T>, and then dig into that collection to get the x objects.
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}
