Could any one show my how to write query using linq to sql to
search for suburbs which have at least 1 venue in specific state
Location
SuburbID
SuburbName
StateName
Venue
VenueID
VenueName
SuburbName
StateName
var locations = from loc
in dataContext.Locations
where loc.Venues.Count > 1
select loc
EDIT: Final answer:
If you have the foreign keys setup between Location/Venue:
string stateName = "New York";
var locations = from loc
in dataContext.Locations
where loc.Venues.Count > 1 && loc.StateName == stateName
select loc;
If there isn't a foreign key relationship:
string stateName = "New York";
var locations = (from v
in dataContext.Venues
where v.StateName == stateName
select (from l
in dataContext.Locations
where l.SuburbName == v.SuburbName && l.StateName == v.Statename
select l
).Single()).Distinct();
Really though, you should fix your tables. The Venue table should have a suburbID instead of "StateName" and "SuburbName" - it is redundant to keep both.
Here's a couple of simple answers:
var suburbNames = dataContext.Venues
.Where(v => v.StateName == specificState)
.GroupBy(v => v.SuburbName)
.Select(g => g.Key)
//
var locations = dataContext.Location
.Where(loc => loc.StateName == specificState)
.Where(loc => loc.Venues.Any())
With that Venues property: you can get that by adding the relationship in the linq to sql designer - even if the foreign key doesn't exist / isn't enforced in the database.

I want to do a LINQ NOT EXISTS on query MULTIPLE TABLES.
All examples on Google or SO are handling two tables I'm working with three so I'm struggling as a newbie on LINQ on how to reference them correctly.
First I tried this LINQ query
var nocertificates = (
from x in rmdb.t_certificates
from ce in rmdb.t_user_certificates
from u in rmdb.t_users
where u.id == ce.uid && ce.value != x.id
select x).AsEnumerable().Select(x => new ViewModelCheckBox()
{
Value = x.id.ToString(),
Name = x.name,
Checked = false
});
I used the ugly three times from as I'm not that good with creating types for joining.
But that gave wrong result and I realized I had to go for a NOT EXISTS
So I built a new query in T-SQL
This is the SQL query it works!
select distinct * from t_certificates tc
where NOT EXISTS
(
select distinct * from t_users tu, t_user_certificates tuc
WHERE tu.email = 'user#email.com'
and tu.id = tuc.[uid]
and tuc.value = tc.id
)
How would I do that in LINQ?
This is the question, I will award my answer for that!
BUT!
When we are at it... I'm really curious on the answer.. Is it possible to do one LINQ query that return an Ienumerable with both those that EXISTS and NOT EXISTS resulting in an object which will hold DIFFERENT VALUES on the checked property EXISTS -> CHECKED = true NOT EXISTS -> CHECKED = false
This is how I create my object.
.Select(x => new ViewModelCheckBox()
{
Value = x.id.ToString(),
Name = x.name,
Checked = this should be different based on exists or not
});
The LINQ answer should look something like this (untested):
var nocertificates =
from x in rmdb.t_certificates
join tuc in (
from u in rmdb.t_users
join ce in rmdb.t_user_certificates on u.id == ce.uid
select ce.value
) on tuc.value = tc.id into tuc
from y in tuc.DefaultIfEmpty()
where y == null
select x;
This is what I ended up using!
var query = (from tc in rmdb.t_certificates
where !(
from tu in rmdb.t_users
from tuc in rmdb.t_user_certificates
where tu.email == username
&& tu.id == tuc.uid
&& tuc.value == tc.id select tc).AsEnumerable().Any()
select new ViewModelCheckBox()
{ Checked = false,
intconverter = tc.id,
Name = tc.name
});
The following code works, but it's not a nice code. (low performance)
I have a dictionary with value and key.
First i go trough every webcodes who exist. Then i load all participants in a list (where webcode equals the actual webcode in the foreach). After that i add the data (parameter of the webcode and a count of participants to the dictionary).
Guid compID = Guid.Parse(wID);
ChartModel webcodes = new ChartModel();
webcodes.Title = "Webcodes Statistics";
webcodes.Data = new Dictionary<string, int>();
var webcodesData = db.t_Webcode;
foreach (var w in webcodesData)
{
var wData = db.t_Participant.Where(t => t.FK_Competition == compID && t.Webcode == w.Webcode);
if (wData.Count() != 0)
webcodes.Data.Add(w.Parameter, wData.Count());
}
ViewBag.Webcodes = webcodes;
TIA
You need something along these lines:
webcodes.Data = (from w in db.t_Webcode
join p in db.t_Participant on w.Webcode equals p.Webcode
where p.FK_Competition == compID
group w by w.Parameter into g
select new { g.Key, Count = g.Count() }).ToDictionary();
I can't test it but that is the type of query you need.
This will assume that you have relationships defined in your database and that your LINQ to SQL datacontext are aware of them. If not, you will need to join manually on t_Participants from tWebcode.
This should execute in 1 single SQL query, instead of 1 query per row in tWebcode.
var webcodesAndNoOfParticipants =
from webcode in db.tWebcode
// Define number of participants for this webcode
let numberOfParticipants = webcode.t_Participants.Count(participant => participant.FK_Competition == compID)
where numberOfParticipants > 0
select new {
WebcodeParameter = webcode.Parameter,
NoOfParticipants = numberOfParticipants
};
webcodes.Data = webcodesAndNoOfParticipants.ToDictionary(x => x.WebcodeParameter, x => x.NoOfParticipants);
So I wanted to make a linq query out of my left join sql (refer to it below). I just don't know how to properly position the ".TournamentId = 1" condition on the joins. Currently when running this on my database I get the results that I want. which is a couple of rows from the Type table with null fields.
select typ.Id, stat.PromoterId, temp.PromoterId
from ReportTypes type
left join ReportTemplateStatus status on status.PromoterId = type.TypeId and status.TournamentId = 1
left join ReportTemplates temp on temp.ClientId = status.PromoterId and temp.TournamentId = 1
Promoter
- promoterId
- promoterName
Tournament
- tournamentId
- tournamentName
ReportType
- TypeId
ReportTemplateStatus
- promoterId (this is the key)
- tournamentId
- typeId
ReportTemplates
- promoterId
- tournamentId
This is currently what I have:
var report = from type in context.ReportTypes
join status in context.ReportTemplateStatus on type.TypeId equals status.TypeId
join temp in context.ReportTemplates on status.promoterId equals temp.promoterId into iReports
from reports in iReports.Where (rep => rep.promoterId == _promoterId && rep.tournamentId == _tournamentId).DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { my fields});
but it's giving me a null.
any ideas on how the linq should work? maybe separate into "itables" (iReports) or something?
This should give you what you are looking for
var report = from type in context.ReportTypes
from status in context.ReportTemplateStatus.Where(x => type.TypeId == x.TypeId)
.Where(x => x.TournamentId == 1)
.DefaultIfEmpty()
from reports in context.ReportTemplates.Where(x => status.promoterId == x.promoterId)
.Where(x => x.TournamentId == 1)
.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { my fields};
You can use like this
var query = from person in people
join pet in pets on person equals pet.Owner into gj
from subpet in gj.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new { person.FirstName, PetName = (subpet == null ? String.Empty : subpet.Name) };
Thanks
Suppose I have three tables:
Person(pid, ...)
PersonAddress(pid, aid,...)
Address(aid, ...)
Then I want to get the person address like sql:
select a.* from address a join PersonAddress pa on a.addressID=pa.addressID
where pa.personID = myPersonID
Use Entity Framework to create Entity model, then want to write a linq equivalent as above sql.
I tried it in following way:
var addresses = this.GetAddress();
var personaddresses = this.GetPersonAddress();
var query = from ad in addresses
from pa in personaddresses
where ((ad.AddressID == pa.AddressID)&&(pa.PersonID==person.personID))
select ad;
but I got error. Or I try to start from:
var result = this.Context.Address;
var result = result.Join .... //how to write linq in this way?
How to write the linq?
This is untested but if you have all of your relationships setup and you create the model (I have used Model as the name for this) from this you should be able to use the following:
var values = this.Model.Address.Select(a => a.PersonAddress.Where(pa => pa.Id == myPersonID));
You almost never use join in LINQ to Entities.
Try:
var q = from p in Context.People
where p.PersonId == personId
from a in p.Addresses // presumes p.Addresses is 1..*
select a;
Assuming you have three entities: Person, PersonAddress and Address, here is a query that should meet your needs (this example assumes an Entity Framework context named context):
var values = context.PersonAddress.Where(pa => pa.Person.PersonId == myPersonId).Select(pa => pa.Address);
However, if the PersonAddress table exists as a pure many-to-many relationship table (i.e. contains only keys), you'd be better off setting up your Entity Framework model in such a way that the intermediate table isn't necessary, which would leave you with the much simpler:
var values = context.Person.Where(p => p.PersonId == myPersonId).Addresses;
Based on the additional feedback
Because you need to include the country table, you should originate your query from the Address table. In that case:
var values = context.Address.Where(a => a.PersonAddress.Where(pa => pa.Product.Id == myProductId).Count() > 0)
To include the Country table in the result:
var values = context.Address.Include("Country").Where(a => a.PersonAddress.Where(pa => pa.Product.Id == myProductId).Count() > 0)
Assuming that we have the following table:
Person:
PersonID,
Name,
Age,
Gender
And we are providing a search function that allows users to search the table according to the name and/or the age.
The tricky part in writing the SQL ( or LINQ) query is that the users can choose to search for both field, or any one field, or no field. If he wants to search for all then he would just have to leave the textbox blank.
The logic to do this can be written as follows:
var p;
if(Name_TextBox=='')
{
p=from row in person
select row ;
}
else
{
p= from row in person
where row.Name=Name_TextBox
select row ;
}
// repeat the same for age
Now after a while the code gets very long and messy... How can I compress the above into a single query with no if-else?
Try code like this
string personName = txtPersonName.Text;
int personAge = Convert.ToInt32(txtAge.Text);
var opportunites = from p in this.DataContext.Persons
select new
{
p.PersonID,
p.Name,
p.Age,
p.Gender
};
if (personsID != 0)
opportunites = opportunites.Where(p => p.PersonID == personID);
if (personName != string.Empty)
opportunites = opportunites.Where(p => p.Name.StartsWith(personName));
if (personAge != 0)
opportunites = opportunites.Where(p => p.Age == personAge);
This will work fine. If personName is not given it will be not add to where, and if given then it will added.
One alternative which I have used in SQL which could be implemented in Linq too is
var p = from p in Person
where p.Name == Name_TextBox || Name_TextBox == String.Empty
select p;
(Note that your 'linq' is using SQL syntax, which won't compile. Also you can't declare a var as you are doing without directly assigning a value)
why not use the null coalescing operator? eg.
var products = from a in context.products
where a.ID == (productID ?? a.ID)
select a;
This works really well on my system
