I have these tables which have 1:n and then 1:n relationship with each other:
How can I sum up the amount of Expenses for one specific household?
This is my SQL for that:
SELECT households.Id as HouseholdId,
households.Name HouseholdName,
SUM(expenses.Amount) as SumExpenses
FROM [Households] households
INNER JOIN Accounts accounts
ON households.Id = accounts.HouseholdId
INNER JOIn Expenses expenses
ON expenses.AccountId = accounts.Id
WHERE households.Id = '2AFAB095-39D6-4637-1FC1-08DAC249FA0A'
GROUP BY households.Id, households.Name;
This is what I have done so far:
var results = await (
from household in Context.Households
join account in Context.Accounts
on household.Id equals account.HouseholdId
join expense in Context.Expenses
on account.Id equals expense.AccountId
group new { household }
by new { household.Id, household.Name, AccountName = account.Name, Amount = expense.Amount}
into g
select new
{
HouseholdId = g.Key.Id,
HouseholdName = g.Key.Name,
AccountName = g.Key.AccountName,
//What to do here to get the sum?
}).ToListAsync();
LNQ grouping has the same behaviour as in the SQL. If you add additional grouping keys - you will fail. Important part is what to group.
Also I have removed other artifacts which are not present in your original SQL. You have test that adding additional grouping keys will not change result.
var householdId = ...;
var query =
from household in Context.Households
join account in Context.Accounts
on household.Id equals account.HouseholdId
join expense in Context.Expenses
on account.Id equals expense.AccountId
where household.Id == householdId
group expense
by new { household.Id, household.Name }
into g
select new
{
HouseholdId = g.Key.Id,
HouseholdName = g.Key.Name,
SumExpenses = g.Sum(x => x.Amount)
};
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 am trying to move from simple SQL to EF.
But there are some complex queries(joins) that it seems to hard to generate the linq for.
At first I tried to use sqltolinq tool to generate the linq but it gives error as some of the things are not supported in the query.
here is the linq:
var entryPoint = (from ep in dbContext.tbl_EntryPoint
join e in dbContext.tbl_Entry on ep.EID equals e.EID
join t in dbContext.tbl_Title on e.TID equals t.TID
where e.OwnerID == user.UID
select new {
UID = e.OwnerID,
TID = e.TID,
Title = t.Title,
EID = e.EID
});
The table entry has many entries that I would like to group and get the latest for each group. But then I would need to select into a view model object which will be bind to gridview.
I dont know where I can implement the logic to group by and get the latest from each and be able to get values from join table into viewModel object.
somewhere I need to add
group entry by new
{
entry.aID,
entry.bCode,
entry.Date,
entry.FCode
}
into groups
select groups.OrderByDescending(p => p.ID).First()
in the above linq to retrieve latest from each group.
You can insert group by right after the joins:
var query =
from ep in dbContext.tbl_EntryPoint
join e in dbContext.tbl_Entry on ep.EID equals e.EID
join t in dbContext.tbl_Title on e.TID equals t.TID
where e.OwnerID == user.UID
group new { ep, e, t } by new { e.aID, e.bCode, e.Date, e.FCode } into g
let r = g.OrderByDescending(x => x.e.ID).FirstOrDefault()
select new
{
UID = r.e.OwnerID,
TID = r.e.TID,
Title = r.t.Title,
EID = r.e.EID
};
The trick here is to include what you need after the grouping between group and by.
However, the above will be translated to CROSS APPLY with all joins included twice. If the grouping key contains fields from just one table, it could be better to perform the grouping/selecting the last grouping element first, and then join the result with the rest:
var query =
from e in (from e in dbContext.tbl_Entry
where e.OwnerID == user.UID
group e by new { e.aID, e.bCode, e.Date, e.FCode } into g
select g.OrderByDescending(e => e.ID).FirstOrDefault())
join ep in dbContext.tbl_EntryPoint on e.EID equals ep.EID
join t in dbContext.tbl_Title on e.TID equals t.TID
select new
{
UID = e.OwnerID,
TID = e.TID,
Title = t.Title,
EID = e.EID
};
I want to write a Linq query that will return, columns with CompanyName of Supplier and number of all products of this company. Can you help me?
So far I got this:
var company = from pro in db.Products
join sup in db.Suppliers
on pro.SupplierID equals sup.SupplierID
group pro by pro.SupplierID
into g
select new { Name = g.Key, COUNT = g.Count() };
But this returns SupplierID not CompanyName. Database is Northwnd.
Use group join (i.e. join...into) to join suppliers with products and get all products of supplier in group:
from s in db.Suppliers
join p in db.Products
on s.SupplierID equals p.SupplierID into g
select new {
s.CompanyName,
ProductsCount = g.Count()
}
The following compiles and runs with Linq-for-objects. I can't vouch for whether Linq-to-SQL will cope.
var company = from sup in db.Suppliers
select new
{
Name = sup.CompanyName,
COUNT = db.Products
.Where(pro => pro.SupplierID == sup.SupplierID)
.Count()
};
I have a query that combines a join and a group, but I have a problem. The query is like:
var result = from p in Products
join bp in BaseProducts on p.BaseProductId equals bp.Id
group p by p.SomeId into pg
select new ProductPriceMinMax {
SomeId = pg.FirstOrDefault().SomeId,
CountryCode = pg.FirstOrDefault().CountryCode,
MinPrice = pg.Min(m => m.Price),
MaxPrice = pg.Max(m => m.Price),
BaseProductName = bp.Name <------ can't use bp.
};
As you see, it joins the Products table with the BaseProducts table, and groups on an id of the Product table. But in the resulting ProductPriceMinMax, I also need a property of the BaseProducts table: bp.Name, but it doesn't know bp.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Once you've done this
group p by p.SomeId into pg
you no longer have access to the range variables used in the initial from. That is, you can no longer talk about p or bp, you can only talk about pg.
Now, pg is a group and so contains more than one product. All the products in a given pg group have the same SomeId (since that's what you grouped by), but I don't know if that means they all have the same BaseProductId.
To get a base product name, you have to pick a particular product in the pg group (As you are doing with SomeId and CountryCode), and then join to BaseProducts.
var result = from p in Products
group p by p.SomeId into pg
// join *after* group
join bp in BaseProducts on pg.FirstOrDefault().BaseProductId equals bp.Id
select new ProductPriceMinMax {
SomeId = pg.FirstOrDefault().SomeId,
CountryCode = pg.FirstOrDefault().CountryCode,
MinPrice = pg.Min(m => m.Price),
MaxPrice = pg.Max(m => m.Price),
BaseProductName = bp.Name // now there is a 'bp' in scope
};
That said, this looks pretty unusual and I think you should step back and consider what you are actually trying to retrieve.
We did it like this:
from p in Products
join bp in BaseProducts on p.BaseProductId equals bp.Id
where !string.IsNullOrEmpty(p.SomeId) && p.LastPublished >= lastDate
group new { p, bp } by new { p.SomeId } into pg
let firstproductgroup = pg.FirstOrDefault()
let product = firstproductgroup.p
let baseproduct = firstproductgroup.bp
let minprice = pg.Min(m => m.p.Price)
let maxprice = pg.Max(m => m.p.Price)
select new ProductPriceMinMax
{
SomeId = product.SomeId,
BaseProductName = baseproduct.Name,
CountryCode = product.CountryCode,
MinPrice = minprice,
MaxPrice = maxprice
};
EDIT: we used the version of AakashM, because it has better performance
I met the same problem as you.
I push two tables result into t1 object and group t1.
from p in Products
join bp in BaseProducts on p.BaseProductId equals bp.Id
select new {
p,
bp
} into t1
group t1 by t1.p.SomeId into g
select new ProductPriceMinMax {
SomeId = g.FirstOrDefault().p.SomeId,
CountryCode = g.FirstOrDefault().p.CountryCode,
MinPrice = g.Min(m => m.bp.Price),
MaxPrice = g.Max(m => m.bp.Price),
BaseProductName = g.FirstOrDefault().bp.Name
};
