如何将LINQ左外连接限制为一行

我有一个左外连接(下面)按预期返回结果。我需要将“右”表的结果限制为“第一次”命中。我能以某种方式这样做吗?目前,我得到两个表中每条记录的结果,我只想看左边表格中的一个结果(项目),无论我在右表中有多少结果(照片)。

        var query = from i in db.items
                join p in db.photos
                on i.id equals p.item_id into tempPhoto
                from tp in tempPhoto.DefaultIfEmpty()
                orderby i.date descending 
                select new
                {
                    itemName = i.name,
                    itemID = i.id,
                    id = i.id,
                    photoID = tp.PhotoID.ToString()
                };


    GridView1.DataSource = query;
    GridView1.DataBind();

这将为你完成这项工作。

from i in db.items
let p = db.photos.Where(p2 => i.id == p2.item_id).FirstOrDefault()
orderby i.date descending
select new
{
  itemName = i.name,
  itemID = i.id,
  id = i.id,
  photoID = p == null ? null : p.PhotoID.ToString();
}

当我针对自己的模型生成它时,我得到了这个sql(并且在投影中没有名称和第二个id列。)

SELECT [t0].[Id] AS [Id], CONVERT(NVarChar,(
    SELECT [t2].[PhotoId]
    FROM (
        SELECT TOP (1) [t1].[PhotoId]
        FROM [dbo].[Photos] AS [t1]
        WHERE [t1].[Item_Id] = ([t0].[Id])
        ) AS [t2]
    )) AS [PhotoId]
FROM [dbo].[Items] AS [t0]
ORDER BY [t0].[Id] DESC

当我询问该计划时,它显示子查询是通过此连接实现的:

您可以执行以下操作:

var q = from c in
          (from s in args
           select s).First()
        select c;

围绕查询的最后部分。不确定它是否会起作用或它将产生什么样的恶意SQL:)

您要做的是对表格进行分组。最好的方法是:

    var query = from i in db.items
                join p in (from p in db.photos
                           group p by p.item_id into gp
                           where gp.Count() > 0
                           select new { item_id = g.Key, Photo = g.First() })
            on i.id equals p.item_id into tempPhoto
            from tp in tempPhoto.DefaultIfEmpty()
            orderby i.date descending 
            select new
            {
                itemName = i.name,
                itemID = i.id,
                id = i.id,
                photoID = tp.Photo.PhotoID.ToString()
            };

编辑:这是David B说的。我只是这样做,因为尼克问我。尼克,请根据您的需要修改或删除此部分。

生成的SQL非常大。 int 0(与计数进行比较)通过参数传递。

SELECT [t0].X AS [id], CONVERT(NVarChar(MAX),(
    SELECT [t6].Y
    FROM (
        SELECT TOP (1) [t5].Y
        FROM [dbo].[Photos] AS [t5]
        WHERE (([t4].Y IS NULL) AND ([t5].Y IS NULL)) OR (([t4].Y IS NOT NULL) AND ([t5].Y IS NOT NULL) AND ([t4].Y = [t5].Y))
        ) AS [t6]
    )) AS [PhotoId]
FROM [dbo].[Items] AS [t0]
CROSS APPLY ((
        SELECT NULL AS [EMPTY]
        ) AS [t1]
    OUTER APPLY (
        SELECT [t3].Y
        FROM (
            SELECT COUNT(*) AS [value], [t2].Y
            FROM [dbo].[Photos] AS [t2]
            GROUP BY [t2].Y
            ) AS [t3]
        WHERE (([t0].X) = [t3].Y) AND ([t3].[value] > @p0)
        ) AS [t4])
ORDER BY [t0].Z DESC

执行计划显示三个左连接。至少有一个是微不足道的,不应该被计算(它带来零)。这里有足够的复杂性,我无法明确指出任何效率问题。它可能运行得很好。

使用内部查询。对于没有照片的情况,请包括DefaultIfEmpty;对于多个照片的情况,请包括orderby。以下示例以最大的id拍摄照片。

var query = 
    from i in db.items
    let p = from p in db.photos where i.id == p.item_id orderby p.id select p).DefaultIfEmpty().Last()
    orderby i.date descending
    select new {
      itemName = i.name,
      itemID = i.id,
      id = i.id,
      photoID = p.PhotoID
    };

如果需要专门处理没有照片的情况,则可以省略DefaultIfEmpty并改用FirstOrDefault / LastOrDefault
