I am trying to create an Entity SQL that is a union of two sub-queries.
(SELECT VALUE DISTINCT ROW(e.ColumnA, e.ColumnB, 1 AS Rank) FROM Context.Entity AS E WHERE ...)
UNION ALL
(SELECT VALUE DISTINCT ROW(e.ColumnA, e.ColumnB, 2 AS Rank) FROM Context.Entity AS E WHERE ...)
ORDER BY *??* LIMIT 50
I have tried:
ORDER BY Rank
and
ORDER BY e.Rank
but I keep getting:
System.Data.EntitySqlException: The query syntax is not valid. Near keyword 'ORDER'
Edit:
This is Entity Framework. In C#, the query is executed using:
var esql = "...";
ObjectParameter parameter0 = new ObjectParameter("p0", value1);
ObjectParameter parameter1 = new ObjectParameter("p1", value2);
ObjectQuery<DbDataRecord> query = context.CreateQuery<DbDataRecord>(esql, parameter0, parameter1);
var queryResults = query.Execute(MergeOption.NoTracking);
There is only a small portion of my application where I have to resort to using Entity SQL. Generally, the main use case is when I need to do: "WHERE Column LIKE 'A % value % with % multiple % wildcards'".
I do not think it is a problem with the Rank column. I do think it is how I am trying to apply an order by to two different esql statements joined by union all. Could someone suggest:
How to apply a ORDER BY to this kind of UNION/UNION ALL statment
How to order by the non-entity column expression.
Thanks.

In Postgres if one of your columns is a big complicated expression you can just say ORDER BY 3 DESC where 3 is the order of the column where the complicated expression is. Is there anywhere to do this in SQLAlchemy?
As Gord Thompson observes in this comment, you can pass the column index as a text object to group_by or order_by:
q = sa.select(sa.func.count(), tbl.c.user_id).group_by(sa.text('2')).order_by(sa.text('2'))
serialises to
SELECT count(*) AS count_1, posts.user_id
FROM posts GROUP BY 2 ORDER BY 2
There are other techniques that don't require re-typing the expression.
You could use the selected_columns property:
q = sa.select(tbl.c.col1, tbl.c.col2, tbl.c.col3)
q = q.order_by(q.selected_columns[2]) # order by col3
You could also order by a label (but this will affect the names of result columns):
q = sa.select(tbl.c.col1, tbl.c.col2, tbl.c.col3.label('c').order_by('c')
I use spring data jpa with native query
I have already some query like this
How to use native query none parameter.
String q="SELECT t1.blockNumber-1 FROM someTAble t1 LEFT JOIN someTAble t2 ON t2.blockNumber = t1.blockNumber-1 WHERE t2.blockNumber IS NULL AND t1.blockNumber> 0 ORDER BY t1.blockNumber";
#Query(value = q,nativeQuery = true)
List<Entity> findByBlockNumberIs();
they are occur errors Column 'sequence' not found.
That query means are when i insert some Contiguous data int value then i find missing data.
But
this query working
SELECT *,t1.blockNumber-1 FROM someTAble t1 LEFT JOIN someTAble t2 ON t2.blockNumber = t1.blockNumber-1 WHERE t2.blockNumber IS NULL AND t1.blockNumber> 0 ORDER BY t1.blockNumber
The difference between the two queries is whether there is a '*' or not
how to change simple to my query.
How to i changed error
OR How to use spring data jpa predicate
QEntity qBe1= QEntity .blockEntity;
QEntity qBe2= QEntity .blockEntity;
build.and(qBe2.blockNumber.eq(be.getBlockNumber()-1))
.and(qBe2.blockNumber.isNull().and(qBe1.blockNumber.gt(0)));
is predicate can use left join?
well...
use this.
List<Integer> findByBlockNumber()
I'm trying make a query with HQL that will stay with the same order as given list of IDs. I know it's possible with SQL but I can't find any way to do it with HQL (and I cannot do it with native SQL because I got many joins)
Example
fingerIds = [3,1,10,4]
SELECT p FROM People p
JOIN FETCH p.fingers f
WHERE f.id IN :fingerIds
DB: PostgreSQL 10.4
Hibernate: 4.3.11.Final
Eg. Given list of IDs: [3,1,10,4]
Actual result's order: [1,3,4,10]
Expected result's order: [3,1,10,4]
You can obtain the order by adding to your query the keyword FIELD, in your example:
SELECT p FROM People p
JOIN FETCH p.fingers f
WHERE f.id IN :fingerIds
ORDER BY FIELD(f.ID,3,1,10,4)
Ofc you can replace the numbers with your variable :fingerIds
You can find more about that command here.
Returns the index (position) of str in the str1, str2, str3, ... list. Returns 0 if str is not found.
Using Entity Framework and LINQ, I need to get row number together with an entity, e.g. for loan I have multiple invoices and I want to select specific invoice together with its sequence number.
Basically, I'd need to know how to write equivalent to this:
select
nr, i.*
from
[Invoices] i
inner join
(select
row_number() over (order by IssueDate) nr, id
from
[Invoices]
where
LoanId = 5) t on t.id = i.id
where
i.id = 207
According to this post ROW_NUMBER is not supported in L2E. If you don't mind the overhead of loading all invoices for a given LoanId into memory, then it can be be done easily in C# with the overload of the Select method on IEnumerable that produces an index for each item, e.g.:
//First select the invoices
var invoices = from i in dbContext.Invoices
where i.LoanId == 5
order by i.IssueDate
select i;
var indexedInvoice = invoices.ToList().Select((i, count) => new { Invoice = i, RowCount = count })
.First(ii => ii.Invoice.Id == 207);
I can see how this can be less than optimal in some situations, so you might consider bypassing L2E here and execute your query as a plain old sql string, depending on how performance-critical it is, and on how many invoices there usually are for a single loan.
I have the following SQL query, which I'm struggling to convert to LINQ.
Purpose: Get the top 10 coupons from the table, ordered by the date they expire (i.e. list the ones that are about to expire first) and then randomly choosing one of those for publication.
Notes: Because of the way the database is structured, there maybe duplicate Codes in the Coupon table. Therefore, I am using a GROUP BY to enforce distinction, because I can't use DISTINCT in the sub select query (which I think is correct). The SQL query works.
SELECT TOP 1
c1.*
FROM
Coupon c1
WHERE
Code IN (
SELECT TOP 10
c2.Code
FROM
Coupon c2
WHERE
c2.Published = 0
GROUP BY
c2.Code,
c2.Expires
ORDER BY
c2.Expires
)
ORDER BY NEWID()
Update:
This is as close as I have got, but in two queries:
var result1 = (from c in Coupons
where c.Published == false
orderby c.Expires
group c by new { c.Code, c.Expires } into coupon
select coupon.FirstOrDefault()).Take(10);
var result2 = (from c in result1
orderby Guid.NewGuid()
select c).Take(1);
Here's one possible way:
from c in Coupons
from cs in
((from c in coupons
where c.published == false
select c).Distinct()
).Take(10)
where cs.ID == c.ID
select c
Keep in mind that LINQ creates a strongly-typed data set, so an IN statement has no general equivalent. I understand trying to keep the SQL tight, but LINQ may not be the best answer for this. If you are using MS SQL Server (not SQL Server Compact) you might want to consider doing this as a Stored Procedure.
Using MercurioJ's slightly buggy response, in combination with another SO suggested random row solution my solution was:
var result3 = (from c in _dataContext.Coupons
from cs in
((from c1 in _dataContext.Coupons
where
c1.IsPublished == false
select c1).Distinct()
).Take(10)
where cs.CouponId == c.CouponId
orderby _dataContext.NewId()
select c).Take(1);
