I have this rather complex query in SQL server 2008:
declare #LanguageID as int = 1
select k.datePublish, k.dateEditing, k.dateTables
from TableAreasLevel1 as areaL1
inner join TableAreasLevel2 as areaL2
on areaL1.LanguageID = areaL2.LanguageID and
areaL1.CodeAreaLevel1 = areaL2.CodeAreaLevel1
inner join TableAreasLink as link
on areaL2.CodeAreaLevel1 = link.CodeAreaLevel1 and
areaL2.CodeAreaLevel2 = link.CodeAreaLevel2 and
inner join TableProducts as tblProds
on tblProds.CodeAreaLevel1 = areaL1.CodeAreaLevel1 and
tblProds.CodeAreaLevel2 = areaL2.CodeAreaLevel2
inner join TableSI_Products as prod
on prod.SiAreaCode = link.SiAreaCode
inner join TableCalendar as k
on k.KodTableSI_Products = tblProds.KodTableSI_Products
where areaL1.LanguageID = #LanguageID and
prod.Code = 'some string' and
k.LanguageID = #LanguageID and
tblProds.LanguageID = #LanguageID;
I am trying to develop the same query in LINQ, but I get error when I try join the table TableProducts, i.e the third consecutive join.
Here is my LINQ query:
List<Tuple<DateTime, DateTime, DateTime>> dates = (from areaL1 in gpe.TableAreasLevel1
join areaL2 in gpe.TableAreasLevel2
on new { areaL1.CodeAreaLevel1, areaL1.LanguageID } equals
new { areaL2.CodeAreaLevel1, areaL2.LanguageID }
join link in gpe.TableAreasLink
on new { areaL2.CodeAreaLevel1, areaL2.CodeAreaLevel2, areaL2.RbrOblastNivo2} equals
new {link.CodeAreaLevel1, link.CodeAreaLevel2}
join tblProds in gpe.TableProducts
on tblProds. // The name tblProds is not in the scope of the left side of 'equals'
);
Is the problem connected with how the tables are designed or, something else I should check for?
Any ideas, why tblProds is not visible in the scope of the LINQ query?
You are using Query as your guide something like:
on k.KodTableSI_Products = tblProds.KodTableSI_Products
but take a look at your linq:
on new { areaL1.CodeAreaLevel1, areaL1.LanguageID } equals
it has two fields. I think its not a good idea.
linq join something like
var dates = (from areaL1 in gpe.TableAreasLevel1
join areaL2 in gpe.TableAreasLevel2
on areaL1.PKFields equals areaL2.PKFields
where areaL1.CodeAreaLevel1== areaL2.CodeAreaLevel1 && areaL1.LanguageID = areaL2.LanguageID
Select new YournewClass{YournewClass.Field1=areaL1.fields1, And so on}
)
You can do to join the other tables with aliases.
Sorry need to go for now.
I'm giving you an idea.
Hope it helps.
I am trying to perform an outer join in C# using Linq, the person mentoring me keeps saying I shouldn't try to do an outer join which isn't really an answer.
What I got from the other threads is that I need the .DefaultIfEmpty() where ever I may not have a record.
I tried it first on just the lines where there may be a missing information then added it to every line just to see if that was the problem.
Every time I run this I get only the inner join records. It works great other than it is not including the two records from my DB that only have information in the first two tables.
var sqlQuery =
from s in ctx.Suppliers
from sp in ctx.SupplierParts
.Where(sp => sp.SupplierID == s.SupplierID)
.DefaultIfEmpty()
from sm in ctx.SupplierManufacturerRelations
.Where(sm => sm.SupplierPNID == sp.SupplierPNID)
.DefaultIfEmpty()
from mp in ctx.ManufacturerParts
.Where(mp => mp.MfgPNID.Equals(sm.MfgPNID))
.DefaultIfEmpty()
from m in ctx.Manufacturers
.Where(m => m.ManufacturerID.Equals(mp.ManufacturerID))
.DefaultIfEmpty()
from im in ctx.ItemMasters
.Where(im => im.PreID == mp.PreID)
.Where(im => im.PartNumber == mp.PartNumber)
.DefaultIfEmpty()
from c in ctx.ComponentClasses
.Where(c => c.CCID == im.CCID)
.DefaultIfEmpty()
from um in ctx.UnitsOfMeasures
.Where(um => um.UOMID == sp.UOMID)
.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new
{ my variables}
var querylist = sqlQuery.Where(n => n.SupplierID == thisSupplier).ToList();
I also tried
from s in ctx.Suppliers
join sp in ctx.SupplierParts on s.SupplierID equals sp.SupplierID
join sm in ctx.SupplierManufacturerRelations on sp.SupplierPNID equals sm.SupplierPNID into spartgroup
from sm in spartgroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
join mp in ctx.ManufacturerParts on sm.MfgPNID equals mp.MfgPNID into mpartgroup
from mp in mpartgroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
join m in ctx.Manufacturers on mp.ManufacturerID equals m.ManufacturerID into mgroup
from m in mgroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
join im in ctx.ItemMasters
on new { key1 = (int)mp.PreID, key2 = (int)mp.PartNumber }
equals new { key1 = im.PreID, key2 = im.PartNumber }
into tpartgroup
from im in tpartgroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
join c in ctx.ComponentClasses on im.CCID equals c.CCID into fullgroup
from c in fullgroup.DefaultIfEmpty()
join um in ctx.UnitsOfMeasures on sp.UOMID equals um.UOMID
This SQL query works and doesn't omit the rows
SELECT Supplier.SupplierID
, SupplierPart.SupplierPNID
, SupplierPart.SupplierPN
, SupplierPart.Description
, SupplierManufacturerRelation.MfgPNID
, ManufacturerPart.PreID
, ManufacturerPart.PartNumber
, ItemMaster.CCID
, ItemMaster.Description AS Expr1
FROM Supplier
Inner JOIN SupplierPart
ON Supplier.SupplierID = SupplierPart.SupplierID
Left JOIN SupplierManufacturerRelation
ON SupplierPart.SupplierPNID = SupplierManufacturerRelation.SupplierPNID
Left JOIN ManufacturerPart
ON SupplierManufacturerRelation.MfgPNID = ManufacturerPart.MfgPNID
Left JOIN ItemMaster
ON ManufacturerPart.PreID = ItemMaster.PreID
AND ManufacturerPart.PartNumber = ItemMaster.PartNumber
WHERE Supplier.SupplierID = 9
For translating SQL to LINQ query comprehension:
Translate FROM subselects as separately declared variables.
Translate each clause in LINQ clause order, translating monadic operators (DISTINCT, TOP, etc) into functions applied to the whole LINQ query.
Use table aliases as range variables. Use column aliases as anonymous type field names.
Use anonymous types (new { ... }) for multiple columns.
Left Join is simulated by using a into join_variable and doing another from from the join variable followed by .DefaultIfEmpty().
Replace COALESCE with the conditional operator and a null test.
Translate IN to .Contains() and NOT IN to !...Contains()
SELECT * must be replaced with select range_variable or for joins, an anonymous object containing all the range variables.
SELECT fields must be replaced with select new { ... } creating an anonymous object with all the desired fields or expressions.
Proper FULL OUTER JOIN must be handled with an extension method.
So from your SQL, your query should look like:
var ans = from s in ctx.Suppliers
join sp in ctx.SupplierParts on s.SupplierID equals sp.SupplierID
join sm in ctx.SupplierManufacturerRelations on sp.SupplierPNID equals sm.SupplierPNID into smj
from sm in smj.DefaultIfEmpty()
join mp in ctx.ManufacturerParts on sm?.MfgPNID equals mp.MfgPNID into mpj
from mp in mpj.DefaultIfEmpty()
join im in ctx.ItemMasters on new { key1 = (int)mp.PreID, key2 = (int)mp.PartNumber } equals new { key1 = im.PreID, key2 = im.PartNumber } into imj
from im in imj.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new {
s.SupplierID, sp.SupplierPNID, sp.SupplierPN, sp.Description, sm.MfgPNID, mp.PreID, mp.PartNumber, im.CCID, Expr1 = im.Description
};
Need some help in writing LINQ from the following SQL.
The main problem is double grouping.
I'm stacked in the second grouping
group by s.[e-year], s.[e-month]
Don't know how to implement.
Thanks a lot.
select s.[e-year], s.[e-month], count(s.projectid) 'projects entranced',
---------------------------------------------
(select count(subquery.CustomerTypeID) from
(select count(ap.ProjectID) as 'count', c.CustomerTypeID FROM Logging_ProjectsEntrances] pe
inner join users u on pe.userid = u.userid
inner join Companies c on u.CompanyId = c.CompanyID
inner join AssignedProjects up on pe.ProjectID = up.ProjectID
inner join Projects p on up.ProjectID = p.ProjectID
where ap.ProductID = 1 and year(pe.EntranceDate) = s.[e-year] and MONTH(pe.entrancedate) = s.[e-month] and c.CustomerTypeID = 2
group by ap.ProjectID, c.CustomerTypeID) subquery
group by subquery.CustomerTypeID
)
--------------------------------------------
from
(
select YEAR(pe.EntranceDate) as 'e-year', MONTH(pe.EntranceDate) as 'e-month', up.ProjectID as 'projectid'
FROM Logging_ProjectsEntrances pe
inner join AssignedProjects ap on pe.ProjectID = ap.ProjectID
inner join Projects p on ap.ProjectID = p.ProjectID
where ap.ProductID = 1
group by year(pe.EntranceDate), month(pe.EntranceDate), ap.ProjectID
) as s
group by s.[e-year], s.[e-month]
order by s.[e-year] desc , s.[e-month] desc

Proper FULL OUTER JOIN must be handled with an extension method.
Note: Your SQL query is using a SQL trick (SELECT x ... GROUP BY x) to perform the equivalent of a DISTINCT, which should be used as it expresses the intent more clearly.
So, for your SQL query:
var subq = (from pe in projectsEntrances
join ap in assignedProjects on pe.ProjectID equals ap.ProjectID
join p in projects on ap.ProjectID equals p.ProjectID
where ap.ProductID == 1
select new { e_year = pe.EntranceDate.Year, e_month = pe.EntranceDate.Month, ap.ProjectID }).Distinct();
var ans = from s in subq
group s by new { s.e_year, s.e_month } into sg
orderby sg.Key.e_year descending, sg.Key.e_month descending
select new { sg.Key.e_year, sg.Key.e_month, ProjectsEntranced = sg.Count() };
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}
I'm using the following query and am having trouble figuring out how to add a join into it:
var chi = Lnq.attlnks.Where(a => a.ownerid == emSysid)
.Select(c => new { sysid });
How can I join this to the "attach" table (ON attlnks.sysid = attach.sysid) and select "name" where sysid is the row id?
For joins in Linq the query expression form is typically more readable than lambda syntax - I believe this is what you are asking for:
var chi = from t in Lnq.attach
join a in Lnq.attlnks
on t.sysid equals a.sysid
where a.ownerid == emSysid
select t.name;
If there is only a single entry that should match at most, you can chain a FirstOrDefault() in this case (or other alternatives like SingleOrDefault, Single, First etc.):
var chi = (from t in Lnq.attach
join a in Lnq.attlnks
on t.sysid equals a.sysid
where a.ownerid == emSysid
select t.name).FirstOrDefault();
If I understood your problem, this should work fine:
var query = from a in attlinks
join aa in attach on a.sysid equals aa.sysid into a2
where a2.sysid == a2.ownerid
select a2.Name;
