Use a stored procedure in entity framework - c#

I have a model-first EF model. I just imported the first stored procedure: cpas_POIDVendorProjectDate
I imported it as a function. It has three input parameters: #ProjectID(int), #VendorID(int), and #Workdate(datetime), and returns #POID(int).
Here's the SQL code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[cpas_POIDVendorProjectDate]
#VendorID int,
#ProjectID int,
#WorkDate datetime,
#PO_ID int OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #RowCount int;
SELECT #PO_ID = ID FROM tblPO WHERE
VendorID = #VendorID
AND ExpirationDate >= #WorkDate
AND (ProjectID IS NULL OR ProjectID = #ProjectID)
AND CapitalExpense = (
SELECT CapitalExpense FROM tblProjects WHERE ID=#ProjectID)
AND GroupCode in (1,3,5);
SET #RowCount = ##RowCount;
IF (#RowCount != 1)
SET #PO_ID = -1*#RowCount;
END
I called it in my c# program as follows:
context.cpas_POIDVendorProjectDate(
currVendorID, currProjectID, currWorkDate, currPOID);
Intellisense says my use of "context" is wrong...It's a "variable", and I'm using it as a "method".
In addition, currPOID is rejected because it's looking for a system.data.objects.OjbectParameter, not an int. Intellisense is happy with the function name and other parameters (strangely...)
What am I doing wrong here?

You can always do this if nothing else works:
using(var context = new MyDataContext())
{
using(var cmd = context.Database.Connection.CreateCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "cpas_POIDVendorProjectDate";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//if the stored proc accepts params, here is where you pass them in
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("VendorId", 10));
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("ProjectId", 12));
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("WorkDate", DateTimw.Now));
var poid = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
}
}

If you would like an object orientated way, then Mindless passenger has a project that allows you to call a stored proc from entity frame work like this....
using (testentities te = new testentities())
{
//-------------------------------------------------------------
// Simple stored proc
//-------------------------------------------------------------
var parms1 = new testone() { inparm = "abcd" };
var results1 = te.CallStoredProc<testone>(te.testoneproc, parms1);
var r1 = results1.ToList<TestOneResultSet>();
}
... and I am working on a stored procedure framework (here) which you can call like in one of my test methods shown below...
[TestClass]
public class TenantDataBasedTests : BaseIntegrationTest
{
[TestMethod]
public void GetTenantForName_ReturnsOneRecord()
{
// ARRANGE
const int expectedCount = 1;
const string expectedName = "Me";
// Build the paraemeters object
var parameters = new GetTenantForTenantNameParameters
{
TenantName = expectedName
};
// get an instance of the stored procedure passing the parameters
var procedure = new GetTenantForTenantNameProcedure(parameters);
// Initialise the procedure name and schema from procedure attributes
procedure.InitializeFromAttributes();
// Add some tenants to context so we have something for the procedure to return!
AddTenentsToContext(Context);
// ACT
// Get the results by calling the stored procedure from the context extention method
var results = Context.ExecuteStoredProcedure(procedure);
// ASSERT
Assert.AreEqual(expectedCount, results.Count);
}
}
internal class GetTenantForTenantNameParameters
{
[Name("TenantName")]
[Size(100)]
[ParameterDbType(SqlDbType.VarChar)]
public string TenantName { get; set; }
}
[Schema("app")]
[Name("Tenant_GetForTenantName")]
internal class GetTenantForTenantNameProcedure
: StoredProcedureBase<TenantResultRow, GetTenantForTenantNameParameters>
{
public GetTenantForTenantNameProcedure(
GetTenantForTenantNameParameters parameters)
: base(parameters)
{
}
}
If either of those two approaches are any good?

How can i call OUT parameter in PROCEDURE via Npgsql

How can i call OUT parameter in PROCEDURE via Npgsql
I am getting this error when i run below code

Below is a sample which works - it's recommended to read the Npgsql docs on this. Some comments:
You don't specify the output parameter in SQL - just pass a NULL as per the PostgreSQL docs.
Since #p2 is an output parameter, it makes no sense to specify its value (jOut1 above).
DataTypeName (jOut above) also doesn't make sense here; that's used to indicate to Npgsql which PG type to send for input parameters (similar to NpgsqlDbType).
using var objCon = new NpgsqlConnection("Host=localhost;Username=test;Password=test");
objCon.Open();
using var objSqlCommand = new NpgsqlCommand("CALL sp_add_users_new(#p1, NULL)", objCon);
// Parameters
var lstUsers = new[] { #"{ ""Foo"": ""Bar"" }" };
NpgsqlParameter[] lstSqlParameter = {
new NpgsqlParameter("p1", NpgsqlDbType.Array|NpgsqlDbType.Json) { Value = lstUsers, DataTypeName = "arrJsnUsers"},
new NpgsqlParameter("p2", NpgsqlDbType.Json) { Direction = ParameterDirection.Output},
};
objSqlCommand.Parameters.AddRange(lstSqlParameter);
// Execute
IDataReader objDataReader = objSqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
Console.WriteLine(objSqlCommand.Parameters[1].Value);

How To Pass a List Object From C# to an Oracle Stored Procedure?

I'm trying to send a List Object from my C# WebService method over to my stored procedure in Oracle.
Before posting here, I've tried all suggested duplicate links. Here's what I've accomplished so far:
Success: In C#, I can pass my List values from my HTML page over to my WebService method.
Success: In Oracle, I have created a Table, Object Type, Table Type, and Stored Procedure to accept the List values. I was able to test this using an Anonymous block and sample data.
Problem: I cannot get to pass my List values from my C# WebMethod over to my Oracle Stored Procedure.
I'm currently using the following setup:
Visual Studio 2017
.NET Framework 4.6.1
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess 18.6.0
Keep in mind that the version of Oracle.ManagedDataAccess 18.6.0 does NOT contain the OracleDbType.Array as suggested in the older examples.

The result should allow me to pass my array Object from my WebService WebMethod over to my Oracle stored procedure and then loop through each item of the array to perform an Insert.
Here's an example of the data I'm trying to pass in.
this answer depends on commercial package, but if you're as desperate as i am, it's a lifesaver for very reasonable $300 (circa 2020-Q4)... scouts honor, i'm no shill
DevArt's Oracle provider makes elegant work of passing lists of objects to stored procs... it really works... .net core 3.1 compatible, tested on linux, no dependencies on native oracle client ... see my take on a working console app sample below based on the linked forum post
DevArt's "OracleType.GetObjectType()" API makes the UDT marshalling part of this incredibly trivial for us... way less to grok than the existing unmanaged ODP table type support samples i've seen out there for years
strategic consideration - if you already have a sizable code base on an oracle provider, consider just leaving all that code as-is and only take on regression testing this new dependency where the specialized table type support is actually needed
short and sweet sample for quick digestion

more elaborate shot at generically reflecting on an inbound object to hydrate the proc parms like the OP's request... take with caution, needs testing/bullet-proofing ... i'd love to get better alternatives if anybody cares to share

Database call throwing unexpected error in C#

I have written the following method to get a list of objects from database:
public IEnumerable<ProductDBKey6> AssignProductKey6 (string strProdList)
{
List<ProductDBKey6> lstProdDBKey6 = new List<ProductDBKey6>();
// Create the parameters collection
var parameters = new Collection<SqlParameter>();
// Add each parameter. Entity will not work without all params in the correct order
SqlParameter param = StoredProcedureParameterBuilder.StringParam("#ProductID", strProdList, -1);
int? tempTimeout = this.Database.CommandTimeout;
this.Database.CommandTimeout = 300;
lstProdDBKey6 = this.Database.SqlQuery<ProductDBKey6>("spc.FindProductDBKeyForID", param).ToList();
this.Database.CommandTimeout = tempTimeout;
return lstProdDBKey6;
}
But I am receiving the error that #ProductID parameter is not supplied. Following is the code written in StoredProcedureParameterBuilder class:
internal static class StoredProcedureParameterBuilder
{
internal static SqlParameter StringParam(string paramName, string paramValue, int paramSize)
{
SqlParameter outParam = new SqlParameter
{
ParameterName = paramName,
SqlDbType = System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar,
Direction = System.Data.ParameterDirection.Input,
Size = paramSize
};
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(paramValue))
{
outParam.Value = DBNull.Value;
}
else
{
outParam.Value = paramValue;
}
return outParam;
}
}
My stored procedure accepts only one parameter #ProductID. Following is the Stored Procedure declaration:
ALTER PROCEDURE [spc].[FindProductDBKeyForID] (
#ProductID VARCHAR(MAX)
)
Please help how to resolve the error.
Instead of this line:
lstProdDBKey6 =
this
.Database.SqlQuery<ProductDBKey6>("spc.FindProductDBKeyForID", param)
.ToList();
Try this:
lstProdDBKey6 =
this
.Database.SqlQuery<ProductDBKey6>("exec spc.FindProductDBKeyForID #ProductID", param)
.ToList();

Stored Procedure is not called when send request along with parameters

I have an ASP.NET MVC application in C# where I am calling a stored procedure CreateFunctionNavigation. I am having issue calling that stored procedure along with parameters. I have model class as;
Model class
public class CreateFunctionNavigation_SP_Map
{
public CreateFunctionNavigation_SP_Map()
{
}

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Required Function Parent - Child Relation ID \n Put 0 In Case Given Function doesn't Have Any Parent Function ")]
[Display(Name = "Function Parent's FunctionID")]
public int Function_ParentsFunctionID { get; set; }
}
Stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateFunctionNavigation]

#Hierarchy_Level INT,
#Function_identity INT OUTPUT,

INSERT INTO [dbo].[Navigation_FunctionHierarchy] ([Function_IDs], [Parent_Function_ID])
VALUES (#Function_identity, #Function_ParentsFunctionID)
SET #Function_ParentsFunction_identity = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
RETURN
END
now in C# class I am trying to run this stored procedure with passing parameters but in SQL Server Profiler I cannot see if this stored procedure is not called.
C# Code to run stored procedure
var _result = dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<CreateFunctionNavigation_SP_Map>("exec CreateFunctionNavigation #FunctionName #FunctionHierarchy_Level #ControllerName #ActionName #Function_ParentsFunctionID",
new SqlParameter("FunctionName",_entity.FunctionName),
new SqlParameter("FunctionHierarchy_Level",_entity.FunctionHierarchy_Level),
new SqlParameter("ControllerName", _entity.ControllerName),
new SqlParameter("ActionName", _entity.ActionName),
new SqlParameter("Function_ParentsFunctionID",_entity.Function_ParentsFunctionID)
);
But if I run this stored procedure by just calling it without parameter and of course simply stored procedure with select statement then it works and I can also see in SQL Profiler that stored procedure is called.
Working C# code
List<CreateFunctionNavigation_SP_Map> query;
query = dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<CreateFunctionNavigation_SP_Map>("exec CreateFunctionNavigation").ToList();
So I believe issue is C# class from where I am trying to call SP along with parameters. I badly stuck, tried different options but don't know what I am doing wrong. Many thanks in advance
have you tried adding commas inbetween your parameter names?
dbContext.Database.SqlQuery<CreateFunctionNavigation_SP_Map>("exec CreateFunctionNavigation #FunctionName, #FunctionHierarchy_Level, #ControllerName, #ActionName, #Function_ParentsFunctionID"
UPDATE: just checked out your stored proc code too, seen there are some issues with it.
Here is how I would change it
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateFunctionNavigation]
#FunctionName nvarchar(250),
#Hierarchy_Level INT,
#ControllerName nvarchar(250),
#ActionName nvarchar(250),
#Function_ParentsFunctionID INT,
#Function_identity INT OUTPUT,
#Controller_identity INT OUTPUT,
#ControllerInFunction_identity INT OUTPUT,
#Action_identity INT OUTPUT,
#ActionInFunction_identity INT OUTPUT,
#Function_ParentsFunction_identity INT OUTPUT
This puts all your outputs at the end of the function.
Right, on your c# code
var function_identity new SqlParameter() {ParameterName = "Function_identity", Direction = ParameterDirection.Output};

That might get you somewhere close.
here is my answer; it is working

Entity Framework Get Table By Name

I am looking for ways to do LINQ on a table selected in runtime via string variable.
This is what I have so far using reflection:
private Entities ctx = new Entities();
public List<AtsPlatform> GetAtsPlatformByName(string atsPlatformName)
{
List<AtsPlatform> atsPlatform = null;
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo propertyInfo = ctx.GetType().GetProperty(atsPlatformName.ToLower());
var platform = propertyInfo.GetValue(ctx, null);
// it fails here highlighting "platform" with error that reads "Error 1 Could not find an implementation of the query pattern for source type 'System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery'. 'Select' not found. Consider explicitly specifying the type of the range variable 'ats'."
atsPlatform = ((from ats in platform select new AtsPlatform { RequestNumber = ats.RequestNumber, NumberOfFail = ats.NumberOfFail, NumberOfFailWithCR = ats.NumberOfFailWithCR, NumberOfTestCase = ats.NumberOfTestCase }).ToList());
return atsPlatform;
}
In my model class, I have:
public class AtsPlatform
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string RequestNumber { get; set; }
public Int32? NumberOfFail { get; set; }
public Int32? NumberOfTestCase { get; set; }
public Int32? NumberOfFailWithCR { get; set; }
}
In Database, I have the following tables: "ats1", "ats2", "ats3" .. "atsN" where each of them has the same entity fields as the properties defined in "AtsPlatform"
What I would like to do is simply:
List<AtsPlatform> a1 = GetAtsPlatformByName("ats1");
List<AtsPlatform> a2 = GetAtsPlatformByName("ats2");
List<AtsPlatform> aN = GetAtsPlatformByName("atsN");
I could use "switch" but this makes the code less expandable and requires update whenever new "ats(N+1)" gets created.
My 2 days of research lead me nowhere but back to ground zero. I'm quite stuck.
PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
Instead of reflection, how about using the SqlQuery function?
So
List<AtsPlatform> GetAtsPlatformByName(int index)
{
using (var ctx = new Entities())
{
return ctx.Database.SqlQuery<AtsPlatform>("SELECT * FROM dbo.ats" + index)
.ToList();
}
}
Also, there is no change tracking on the entities using the SqlQuery method on the Database object (which is ok in your case I suppose since the AtsPlatform class only contains primitive properties).
For changes tracking you will need to use the DbSet SqlQuery method, and may need to mix some reflection in.
Sorry for my late response as I wondered off trying out different solutions:
Solution #1: Master Table
As suggested by #Alexw, creating a Master Table works the best ONLY if you are allowed to change the design of the db. I'm currently working with the db owner to make this change. Due to dependencies, this change has to wait till next phase.
Meanwhile, I've created mock db to exercise this approach.
Solution #2: Raw Query
As Suggested by #Umair, raw query will do the job. I've created a class that handles raw sql query.
public class AtsRawQuery
{
private string ConnetionString = "";
public AtsRawQuery(string connectionString)
{
this.ConnetionString = connectionString;
}
public List<List<string>> Query(string queryString)
{
List<List<string>> results = null;
MySqlConnection conn = null;
MySqlDataReader rdr = null;
try
{
conn = new MySqlConnection(this.ConnetionString);
conn.Open();
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(queryString, conn);
rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (rdr.HasRows)
{
results = new List<List<string>>();
while (rdr.Read())
{
List<string> curr_result = new List<string>();
for (int columnIndex = 0; columnIndex <= rdr.FieldCount - 1; columnIndex++)
{
curr_result.Add(rdr.GetString(columnIndex));
}
results.Add(curr_result);
}
}
}
catch (MySqlException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return null;
}
finally
{
if (rdr != null)
{
rdr.Close();
}
if (conn != null)
{
conn.Close();
}
}
return results;
}
}
This class returns a 2 dimension list for later consumption.
In my model class, I added a parser method:
public class AtsPlatform
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string RequestNumber { get; set; }
public Int32? NumberOfFail { get; set; }
public Int32? NumberOfTestCase { get; set; }
public Int32? NumberOfFailWithCR { get; set; }
public void Parse(string name, string requestNumber, string numberOfFail, string numberOfTestCase, string numberOfFailWithCR)
{
Int32 temp;
this.Name = name;
this.RequestNumber = requestNumber;
this.NumberOfFail = (Int32.TryParse(numberOfFail, out temp)) ? Int32.Parse(numberOfFail) : 0;
this.NumberOfTestCase = (Int32.TryParse(numberOfTestCase, out temp)) ? Int32.Parse(numberOfTestCase) : 0;
this.NumberOfFailWithCR = (Int32.TryParse(numberOfFailWithCR, out temp)) ? Int32.Parse(numberOfFailWithCR) : 0;
}
}
Solution #2(b): Raw Query using ExecuteStoreCommand
public List<AtsPlatform> GetAtsPlatformByName(string atsPlatformName)
{
List<AtsPlatform> atsPlatforms = null;
string stm = String.Format("SELECT RequestNumber, NumberOfFail, NumberOfTestCase, NumberOfFailWithCR FROM {0}", atsPlatformName);
atsPlatforms = new List<AtsPlatform>();
foreach (AtsPlatform ats in ctx.ExecuteStoreQuery<AtsPlatform>(stm))
{
atsPlatforms.Add(ats);
}
return atsPlatforms;
}
Solution #3: Stored Procedure
I've created a stored procedure and here is the code:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE `UnionAtsTables`()
BEGIN
DECLARE atsName VARCHAR(10);
DECLARE atsIndex INT;
SET atsIndex = 1;
SET #qry = '';
WHILE atsIndex > 0 DO
SET atsName =concat('ATS',atsIndex);
IF sf_is_table(atsName) = 1 THEN
Set #temp_qry = CONCAT('SELECT *, ''', atsName ,''' As TestPlatform FROM ', atsName, ' WHERE RequestNumber <> ''''' );
If #qry = '' THEN
SET #qry = #temp_qry;
ELSE
SET #qry = CONCAT(#qry, ' UNION ', #temp_qry);
END IF;
ELSE
SET atsIndex = -1;
END IF;
SET atsIndex = atsIndex + 1;
END WHILE;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ats_all;
SET #CreateTempTableQuery = CONCAT('CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ats_all AS ', #qry ,'');
PREPARE stmt1 FROM #CreateTempTableQuery;
EXECUTE stmt1;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt1;
ALTER TABLE ats_all DROP COLUMN ExecOrder;
ALTER TABLE ats_all ADD ExecOrder INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT;
ALTER TABLE ats_all auto_increment = 0;
END
Here is the function I found online that checks if table exists in db.
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION `sf_is_table`(`in_table` varchar(255)) RETURNS tinyint(4)
BEGIN
/**
* Check if table exists in database in use
*
* #name sf_is_table
* #author Shay Anderson 08.13 <http://www.shayanderson.com>
*
* #param in_table (table name to check)
* #return TINYINT (1 = table exists, 0 = table does not exist)
*/
# table exists flag
DECLARE is_table BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
# table count
DECLARE table_count INT DEFAULT 0;
# database name
SET #db = NULL;
# set database name
SELECT
DATABASE()
INTO
#db;
# check for valid database and table names
IF LENGTH(#db) > 0 AND LENGTH(in_table) > 0 THEN
# execute query to check if table exists in DB schema
SELECT COUNT(1) INTO table_count
FROM information_schema.`TABLES`
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = #db
AND TABLE_NAME = in_table;
# set if table exists
IF table_count > 0 THEN
SET is_table = TRUE;
END IF;
END IF;
RETURN is_table;
END
Conclusion:
Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
I decided to use Solution #2 since it does not cause as much impact to the db performance as Solution #3 and it does not require db redesign as Solution #1.
I don't think what you are doing will work like that. You should create an entity based on a single 'master' table, eg. Ats
Once you have done this you will have a property on your Entities class called Ats. You can now use this property to select the entities using a raw SQL query like this.
var atsName = "ats1";
using (var context = new Entities())
{
var blogs = context.Ats.SqlQuery(string.Format("SELECT * FROM {0}", atsName)).ToList();
}
Alternatively you could try this (I am assuming the property type is DBSet as you haven't specified it in the question)
var platform = propertyInfo.GetValue(ctx, null) as DBSet<Ats>;
atsPlatform = platform.Select(ats => new A new AtsPlatform { RequestNumber = ats.RequestNumber, NumberOfFail = ats.NumberOfFail, NumberOfFailWithCR = ats.NumberOfFailWithCR, NumberOfTestCase = ats.NumberOfTestCase }).ToList();
return atsPlatform;
