Question

目前使用核心数据。我有一个表，我试图在这些行中检索信息：

SELECT item, COUNT(*) FROM myTable GROUP BY item;

为了产生这种结果：

+---------+------+-------+
| item        | COUNT(*) |
+---------+------+-------+
| group 1     |   2      |
| group 2     |   5      |
| group 3     |   8      |
+---------+------+-------+

我有一个明智的想法是使用 NSExpression ，希望核心数据为我完成所有工作。我开始转动轮子。 count：表达式函数正在崩溃。例外不是很清楚。使用其他表达式函数（例如 sum：）不会使应用程序崩溃。

将结果存储在 NSFetchedResultsController 中会很不错。我已经探索了其他选择，其中没有一个不太吸引人。编写SQL查询并将其解决更有意义，而不是在这种情况下使用Core Data作为SQL包装器吗？

您的参考源代码如下。

NSExpression *keyPathExpression = [NSExpression expressionForKeyPath:@"item"];
NSExpression *totalExpression = [NSExpression expressionForFunction:@"count:" arguments:[NSArray arrayWithObject:keyPathExpression]];

NSExpressionDescription * totalExpressionDescription = [[NSExpressionDescription alloc] init];
[totalExpressionDescription setExpression:totalExpression];
[totalExpressionDescription setExpressionResultType:NSInteger64AttributeType];
[totalExpressionDescription setName:@"totalInstances"];

NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"myEntity" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext];
NSArray *propertiesToFetch = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:strFieldName, totalExpressionDescription, nil];

[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
[fetchRequest setReturnsDistinctResults:YES];
[fetchRequest setResultType:NSDictionaryResultType];
[fetchRequest setPropertiesToFetch:propertiesToFetch];
[fetchRequest setFetchBatchSize:20];

NSSortDescriptor *sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:strFieldName ascending:YES];
NSArray *sortDescriptors = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:sortDescriptor, nil];
[fetchRequest setSortDescriptors:sortDescriptors];

NSFetchedResultsController* aFetchedResultsController = [[NSFetchedResultsController alloc] initWithFetchRequest:fetchRequest managedObjectContext:[self managedObjectContext] sectionNameKeyPath:nil cacheName:nil];

...

NSError *error = nil;
if (![self.fetchedResultsController performFetch:&error])
{
    NSLog(@"Unresolved error %@, %@", error, [error userInfo]);
    abort();
}

这可以像你最初提出的那样使用NSExpression，在我的设计示例中，我有一个名为“Person”的实体，其中包含一个名为“emailAddress”的属性，我希望得到它的计数。

NSPropertyDescription *propDesc = [[[[model entitiesByName] objectForKey:@"Person"] propertiesByName] objectForKey:@"emailAddress"];
NSExpression *emailExpr = [NSExpression expressionForKeyPath:@"emailAddress"];
NSExpression *countExpr = [NSExpression expressionForFunction:@"count:" arguments:[NSArray arrayWithObject:emailExpr]];
NSExpressionDescription *exprDesc = [[NSExpressionDescription alloc] init];
[exprDesc setExpression:countExpr];
[exprDesc setExpressionResultType:NSInteger64AttributeType];
[exprDesc setName:@"count"];

NSFetchRequest *fr = [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:@"Person"];
[fr setPropertiesToGroupBy:[NSArray arrayWithObject:propDesc]];
[fr setPropertiesToFetch:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:propDesc, exprDesc, nil]];
[fr setResultType:NSDictionaryResultType];
NSArray *results = [moc executeFetchRequest:fr error:&error];

我写了一段代码，用1000条记录预先填充数据库：

NSArray *emailAddresses = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"test@test.com", @"1@1.com", @"1@2.com", @"roam@test.com", @"foo@foo.com", nil];
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        NSManagedObject *person = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Person" inManagedObjectContext:moc];
        [person setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:i] forKey:@"aNumber"];
        [person setValue:[[NSUUID UUID] UUIDString] forKey:@"aUUID"];
        [person setValue:[emailAddresses objectAtIndex:(i % [emailAddresses count])] forKey:@"emailAddress"];
    }

以上代码将每个电子邮件地址插入200次，结果如下：

2012-05-31 15:17:42.160 Scratch[16084:10d03] CoreData: sql: SELECT t0.ZEMAILADDRESS, COUNT( t0.ZEMAILADDRESS) FROM ZPERSON t0 GROUP BY  t0.ZEMAILADDRESS

    emailAddress = "1@1.com";
},
{
    count = 200;
    emailAddress = "1@2.com";
},
{
    count = 200;
    emailAddress = "foo@foo.com";
},
{
    count = 200;
    emailAddress = "roam@test.com";
},
{
    count = 200;
    emailAddress = "test@test.com";
}
)

只编写自己的查询更有意义。我遵循了这个优秀的教程：

通过核心数据进行不同的计数，NSExpression进入NSFetchedResultsController
