I have a many-to-many relationship setup in my database like so:

User
-------
Id (PK, Identity)
First
Last
...various other fields

Skill
-------
Id (PK, Identity)
Description

UserSkill
-----------
UserId (PK, FK on User.Id)
SkillId (PK, FK On Skill.Id)

When I run this LINQ query on the DbContext:

from u in Users 
from s in u.Skills 
where s.Id == 5 
select new 
{
    u.Id,
    s.Description
})

The SQL generated contains all inner joins which is what I want:

SELECT 
[Extent1].[UserId] AS [UserId], 
[Extent2].[Description] AS [Description]
FROM  [dbo].[UserSkill] AS [Extent1]
INNER JOIN [dbo].[Skill] AS [Extent2] ON [Extent1].[SkillId] = [Extent2].[Id]
WHERE 5 = [Extent2].[Id]

However, when I add a simple extra where clause:

from u in Users 
from s in u.Skills 
where s.Id == 5 
    && u.Last == "test"
select new 
{
    u.Id,
    s.Description
})

The SQL generated now uses a sub-query:

[Extent1].[Id] AS [Id], 
[Filter1].[Description] AS [Description]
FROM  [dbo].[User] AS [Extent1]
INNER JOIN  (SELECT [Extent2].[UserId] AS [UserId], [Extent3].[Description] AS [Description]
    FROM  [dbo].[UserSkill] AS [Extent2]
    INNER JOIN [dbo].[Skill] AS [Extent3] ON [Extent3].[Id] = [Extent2].[SkillId]
    WHERE 5 = [Extent3].[Id] ) AS [Filter1] ON [Extent1].[Id] = [Filter1].[UserId]
WHERE 'test' = [Extent1].[Last]

Maybe I am missing something, but I would think EF would just add another join back to the User table for this query and be able to do a where on User.Last instead of doing a sub-query. Is there any way to force this kind of behavior? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

UPDATE

Cosmin, I am wanting the query to come out like this:

SELECT u.Id, s.Description
FROM [User] u INNER JOIN
        [UserSkill] us ON u.Id = us.UserId INNER JOIN
        [Skill] s ON us.SkillId = s.Id
WHERE s.Id = 2 AND u.Last = 'test'

看起来这是 EF 目前没有做的优化。就个人而言，除非性能成为问题，否则我会坚持使用它生成的子查询。

但是，如果您愿意失去 User 和 Skill 的直接导航属性，则可以对中间表进行建模以获取您要查找的查询。

public class User
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string First { get; set; }
    public string Last { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<UserSkill> UserSkills { get; set; }
}

public class UserSkill
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public User User { get; set; }
    [Required]
    public Skill Skill { get; set; }

}

public class Skill
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<UserSkill> UserSkills { get; set; }
}

然后下面的查询将产生一个连接而不是子查询

 from x in db.UserSkills 
 where x.Skill.Id == 5 && x.User.Last == "test"
 select new {x.User.Id, x.Skill.Description};
