The EntityModel is defined as: Personnel has a link to a Country
When executing this code in LinqPad, I see that the SQL which is generated is not optimized (all fields are returned) in the first query ? What am I missing here or doing wrong ?
Query 1 LINQ
var Country = Countries.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Id == 100000581);
var personnelIds = Country.Personnels.Select(p => p.Id).ToArray();
personnelIds.Dump();
Query 1 SQL
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT [t0].[Id], [t0].[Version], [t0].[Identifier], [t0].[Name], , [t0].[UpdatedBy] FROM [Personnel] AS [t0] WHERE [t0].[Country_Id] = @p0',N'@p0 bigint',@p0=100000581
Query 2 LINQ
var Country = Countries.FirstOrDefault(o => o.Id == 100000581);
var personnelIds2 = Personnels.Where(p => p.Country == Country).Select(p => p.Id).ToArray();
personnelIds2.Dump();
Query 2 SQL
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT [t0].[Id] FROM [Personnel] AS [t0] WHERE [t0].[Country_Id] = @p0',N'@p0 bigint',@p0=100000581
The database used is SQL Express 2008. And LinqPad version is 4.43.06
