SELECT A.X, B.Y
FROM A JOIN B ON A.X = B.Y
这个 linq 方法调用(to Join)会生成上面的 Join。
var query = A.Join
(
B,
a => a.x,
b => b.y,
(a, b) => new {a.x, b.y} //if you want more columns - add them here.
);
SELECT A.X, B.Y
FROM A LEFT JOIN B ON A.X = B.Y
These linq method calls (to GroupJoin, SelectMany, DefaultIfEmpty) will produce the above Left Join
var query = A.GroupJoin
(
B,
a => a.x,
b => b.y,
(a, g) => new {a, g}
).SelectMany
(
z => z.g.DefaultIfEmpty(),
(z, b) =>
new { x = z.a.x, y = b.y } //if you want more columns - add them here.
);
The key concept here is that Linq's methods produce hierarchically shaped results, not flattened row-column shapes.
- Linq's
GroupBy
produces results shaped in a hierarchy with a grouping key matched to a collection of elements (which may not be empty). SQL's GroupBy
clause produces a grouping key with aggregated values - there is no sub-collection to work with.
- Similarly, Linq's
GroupJoin
produces a hierarchical shape - a parent record matched to a collection of child records (which may be empty). Sql's LEFT JOIN
produces a parent record matched to each child record, or a null child record if there are no other matches. To get to Sql's shape from Linq's shape, one must unpack the collection of child records with SelectMany
- and deal with empty collections of child records using DefaultIfEmpty
.
And here's my attempt at linquifying that sql in the question:
var query =
from a in Appointment
where a.RowStatus == 1
where a.Type == 1
from b in a.AppointmentFormula.Where(af => af.RowStatus == 1).DefaultIfEmpty()
from d in a.TypeRecord //a has a type column and is related to a table named type, disambiguate the names
from e in a.AppointmentForm.DefaultIfEmpty()
order by a.Type
select new { a.AppointmentId, a.Status, a.Type, a.Title, b.Days, d.Description, e.Form }
