I have the following SQL query:
SELECT Comment, JD, Jurisdiction, RegStatus, Region, SPDR_NAME
FROM dbo.Registered_status_by_year
GROUP BY Comment, JD, SPDR_NAME, Region, Jurisdiction, RegStatus
HAVING (Region = #Region) ORDER BY JD
I am trying to convert it to linq to entities. I have the following, so far:
var result = (from x in myEntities.IRTStatusByYearSet
group x by new { x.Comment, x.JD, x.SPDR_NAME, x.Region, x.Jurisdiction, x.RegStatus } into g
select g);
The problem is that I can't seem to use the "orderby" because "g" doesn't have any "properties" that are the column names.
Does anyone know how I might do this? I have looked for examples of doing the order by with grouping, but all of them show only grouping by one thing, or ordering by the "count" of items in grouping, instead of by some other value.
Have you tried orderby g.Key.JD?
var result = (from x in myEntities.IRTStatusByYearSet
group x by new { x.Comment, x.JD, x.SPDR_NAME, x.Region, x.Jurisdiction, x.RegStatus } into g
orderby g.Key.JD
select g);

Hi I am using a Jqwidgets Grid to display my data. It has a build in possibility to use filters but if you filter your records on the server side you have to build your own query. As I am working with Linq I thought to use the Dynamic Linq Library for Asp net core. Problem is there are not many examples or explanations how to do this. But I am busy for days now and not getting very far.The way I am setup; I have a normal Linq query:
var Mut = from M in _DB.Mutations
join S in _DB.Shifts on M.ShiftId equals S.ShiftId
join U in _DB.RoosterUsers on M.UserId equals U.RoosterUserId
join D in deps on M.UserId equals D.UserId
join DD in _DB.Departements on D.DepartementID equals DD.DepartementId
select new MutationModel
{
MutId=M.MutationId,
Naam=U.FirstName + " " + U.LastName,
UserId=M.UserId,
Departement= DD.DepartementName,
MutationType = S.publicName,
MutationGroup = S.ShiftType.ToString(),
DateTot =M.DateTill,
TijdVan=M.DateStartOn,
TijdTot=M.DateTill,
Status=CreateStatus(M.Tentative, M.ApprovedOn, M.Processed, M.CancelRefId, M.Deleted)
};
This query is running OK and gives me all the data I need for the Grid.
Then for the filter I would like to add a dynamic Linq Query using the System.Linq.Dynamic.Core library
But this is as far as I get things working until now:
var outQuery = Mut.Where("Status = #0 and UserId = #1", "Nieuw", "KLM22940").Select("Status");
My questions now :
1. In the where clause If I make the fieldname variable I get an error. how to do this??
2. In the Select Clause, how to add multiple Columns? (actually I just like to output all columns.)
Best would be to see an example. has somebody used Dynamic Linq to build a dynamic linq query for the JQWidgets Grid?
Thank you very much.
In what way you are trying to use fieldname variable in where clause ?
If you want to output all columns you can use ToList()
like
var outQuery = Mut.Where("Status = #0 and UserId = #1", "Nieuw", "KLM22940").ToList();
If you want to get some specific columns you can use Select clause like this
var outQuery = Mut.Where("Status = #0 and UserId = #1", "Nieuw", "KLM22940").Select("new(Status,UserId )");
This Select clause creates data class which contains Status and UserId properties and returns a sequence of instances of that data class.
I want to do a Linq query that joins three tables, but only returns data from two of them (the third is only joined for ordering purposes). I'm trying to order by columns that aren't in the output of the produced query, but they seem to be ignored:
var records = from q in _pdxContext.Qualifier
join aql in _pdxContext.ApplicationQualifierLink on q.Id equals aql.QualifierId
join qt in _pdxContext.QualifierType on q.QualifierTypeId equals qt.Id
where SOME_LIST.Contains(aql.ApplicationId)
orderby aql.Sequence
select new Qualifier
{
Id = q.Id,
QualifierType = new QualifierType
{
Id = qt.Id, Value = qt.Value
}
};
return records.Distinct().ToList();
The output SQL from this does NOT have an ORDER BY clause.
If I change the orderby to read like so:
orderby q.Id
... then the output SQL has the order by clause.
Does Linq ignore orderby statements when the mentioned columns aren't used in the output (as appears to be the case here)? If so, how do I order by columns not in the output?
It seems this is an SQL limitation. The error from the SQL Server engine:
"ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified."
So, as written, I can't do what I want to do.
I ended up using:
using (var cnn = new SqlConnection(_connectionString))
{
string sql = #"select
min(q.Id) Id, q.QualifierTypeId, q.QualifierTypeId, min(q.AcaId) AcaId,
q.QualifierTypeId Id, qt.Value
from
qdb.Qualifier q
inner join qdb.QualifierType qt on qt.Id = q.QualifierTypeId
inner join ApplicationQualifierLink l on l.QualifierId = q.id
where l.ApplicationId in (" + string.Join(",", applicationIds) + #")
group by q.Text, q.QualifierTypeId, qt.Value";
qualifiers = cnn.Query<Qualifier, QualifierType, Qualifier>(sql,
(qualifier, type) =>
{
qualifier.QualifierType = type; return qualifier;
}
).ToList();
}
Note: When you attempt to use order by and distinct as in my original clause, no error is given, entity framework silently discards the order by without any error.
I've come up with the following LINQ, but I can't help thinking that I should be able to do this in one query instead of two. Can anyone help?
The idea is to inner join three tables and group by one.
var q1 = from er in ExportRules
join per in PlaceExportRules on er.ExportRulesID equals per.ExportRulesID
select new
{
PlaceID = per.PlaceID,
Description = er.Description,
Tag = er.TagName,
ExportName = per.ExportName,
ExportAddress = per.ExportAddress
};
var q2 = from p in Places
join rules in q1 on p.PlaceID equals rules.PlaceID into joined2
where joined2.Any()
orderby p.PlaceName
select new {Place = new {p.PlaceID, p.PlaceName}, joined2};
Well, you can just bracket things:
var query = from p in Places
join rules from
(from er in ExportRules
join per in PlaceExportRules
on er.ExportRulesID equals per.ExportRulesID
...)
on p.PlaceId equals rules.PlaceId into joined2
where joined2.Any()
orderby p.PlaceName
select new {Place = new {p.PlaceID, p.PlaceName}, joined2};
However, I'd personally probably leave it as two queries. It's clearer, and won't affect the performance - it's not like the first statement in your code would actually execute the query.
I have an entity object (Company) which has 1 or more subobjects (CompanyRevision) represented as a non-null FK relationship in the database.
Using LINQ, I want to get all the Companies from the database, but I also only want the latest CompanyRevision for each company.
This is how I do it today, but I have a feeling this could be done using one query.
IEnumerable<Company> companyList = from p in ctx.Company.Include("CompanyRevisions")
select p;
foreach(Company c in companyList)
{
CompanyRevision cr = (from p in c.CompanyRevisions
orderby p.Timestamp descending
select p).First();
// Do something with c and cr...
}
As you can see, I would like to add this second LINQ query (the one that gets the latest CompanyRevision) into the first one, so that companyList[i].CompanyRevisions is basicly a list with just one entry (the latest one). I can't for the life of my figure out how to do this. Please help!
Thanks in advance
how about this: mixing the linq language and extension methods:
var results = from p in ctx.Company.Include("CompanyRevisions")
select new {Company = p,
Revision = p.CompanyRevisions.OrderByDescending(cr => cr.Timestamp).First()
}
Each result now has a Company and Revision member.
It's possible that you could also do this -
var results = from p in ctx.Company.Include("CompanyRevisions")
select new {Company = p,
Revision = (from pcr in p.CompanyRevisions
orderby pcr.Timestamp descending
select pcr).First()
}
To give the same results.
Although that's a guess - I haven't labbed that one out; but it's how I would try it first.
I have some Linq code and it's working fine. It's a query that has a subquery in the Where clause. This subquery is doing a groupby. Works great.
The problem is that I don't know how to grab one of the results from the subquery out of the subquery into the parent.
Frst, here's the code. After that, I'll expplain what piece of data i'm wanting to extract.
var results = (from a in db.tblProducts
where (from r in db.tblReviews
where r.IdUserModified == 1
group r by
new
{
r.tblAddress.IdProductCode_Alpha,
r.tblAddress.IdProductCode_Beta,
r.tblAddress.IdProductCode_Gamma
}
into productGroup
orderby productGroup.Count() descending
select
new
{
productGroup.Key.IdProductCode_Alpha,
productGroup.Key.IdProductCode_Beta,
productGroup.Key.IdProductCode_Gamma,
ReviewCount = productGroup.Count()
}).Take(3)
.Any(
r =>
r.IdProductCode_Alpha== a.IdProductCode_Alpha&&
r.IdProductCode_Beta== a.IdProductCode_Beta&&
r.IdProductCode_Gamma== a.IdProductCode_Gamma)
where a.ProductFirstName == ""
select new {a.IdProduct, a.FullName}).ToList();
Ok. I've changed some field and tables names to protect the innocent. :)
See this last line :-
select new {a.IdProduct, a.FullName}).ToList();
I wish to include in that the ReviewCount (from the subquery). I'm jus not sure how.
To help understand the problem, this is what the data looks like.
Sub Query
IdProductCode_Alpha = 1, IdProductCode_Beta = 2, IdProductCode_Gamma = 3, ReviewCount = 10
... row 2 ...
... row 3 ...
Parent Query
IdProduct = 69, FullName = 'Jon Skeet's Wonder Balm'
So the subquery grabs the actual data i need. The parent query determines the correct product, based on the subquery filters.
EDIT 1: Schema
tblProducts
IdProductCode
FullName
ProductFirstName
tblReviews (each product has zero to many reviews)
IdProduct
IdProductCode_Alpha (can be null)
IdProductCode_Beta (can be null)
IdProductCode_Gamma (can be null)
IdPerson
So i'm trying to find the top 3 products a person has done reviews on.
The linq works perfectly... except i just don't know how to include the COUNT in the parent query (ie. pull that result from the subquery).
Cheers :)
Got it myself. Take note of the double from at the start of the query, then the Any() being replaced by a Where() clause.
var results = (from a in db.tblProducts
from g in (
from r in db.tblReviews
where r.IdUserModified == 1
group r by
new
{
r.tblAddress.IdProductCode_Alpha,
r.tblAddress.IdProductCode_Beta,
r.tblAddress.IdProductCode_Gamma
}
into productGroup
orderby productGroup.Count() descending
select
new
{
productGroup.Key.IdProductCode_Alpha,
productGroup.Key.IdProductCode_Beta,
productGroup.Key.IdProductCode_Gamma,
ReviewCount = productGroup.Count()
})
.Take(3)
Where(g.IdProductCode_Alpha== a.IdProductCode_Alpha&&
g.IdProductCode_Beta== a.IdProductCode_Beta&&
g.IdProductCode_Gamma== a.IdProductCode_Gamma)
where a.ProductFirstName == ""
select new {a.IdProduct, a.FullName, g.ReviewCount}).ToList();
While I don't understand LINQ completely, but wouldn't the JOIN work?
I know my answer doesn't help but it looks like you need a JOIN with the inner table(?).
I agree with shahkalpesh, both about the schema and the join.
You should be able to refactor...
r => r.IdProductCode_Alpha == a.IdProductCode_Alpha &&
r.IdProductCode_Beta == a.IdProductCode_Beta &&
r.IdProductCode_Gamma == a.IdProductCode_Gamma
into an inner join with tblProducts.
