i am having trouble joinging tables on a LINQ query.
(source: kalleload.net)
As you can see there are three tables there. On my webpage, i want to display the following data in a List View.
betid | bet.title | bet.description | match.location | match.begindate/enddate | teamone NAME | teamtwo Name.
so let me explain this.
I want 3 fields from the bets table.
I want 2 fields from the match table (where the match.matchid = bet.matchid)
I want 2 fields from the TEAM table (where match.teamone = team.teamid and match.teamtwo = team.teamid)
i hope this makes sense.
thankyou
It looks like you already have the relationships defined. If you are using the designer, you should have existing entities in the generated classes.
var result = bet.Select( b => new {
BetID = b.betid,
Title = b.title,
Description = b.description,
BeginDate = b.match.begindate,
EndDate = b.match.enddate,
TeamOneName = b.match.team_1.teamname,
TeamTwoName = b.match.team_2.teamname
} );
Note that I'm only guessing at the association names. You should be able to figure out the names given to them by the designer.
The key to this one is to include a self join on the team table, for team one and team two, like this:
var result = from bet in db.bet
join match in db.match on bet.matchid equals match.matchid
join team1 in db.team on match.teamone equals team1.teamid
join team2 in db.team on match.teamtwo equals team2.teamid
select new {bet.betid, bet.title, bet.description, match.location, match.begindate, match.enddate, team1.name, team2.name};

Essentially what i want to do is to get by id from "Tracks" but i also want to get the relations it has to other tracks (found in table "Remixes").
I can write a simple query that gets the track i want by id, ex.
SELECT * FROM "Tracks" WHERE id IN ('track-id1');
That gives me:
id | dateModified | channels | userId
-----------+---------------------+-----------------+--------
track-id1 | 2019-07-21 12:15:46 | {"some":"json"} | 1
But this is what i want to get:
id | dateModified | channels | userId | remixes
-----------+---------------------+-----------------+--------+---------
track-id1 | 2019-07-21 12:15:46 | {"some":"json"} | 1 | track-id2, track-id3
So i want to generate a column called "remixes" with ids in an array based on the data that is available in the "Remixes" table by a SELECT query.
Here is example data and database structure:
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!17/ec2e6/3
Don't hesitate to ask questions in case anything is unclear,
Thanks in advance
Left join the remixes and then GROUP BY the track ID and use array_agg() to get an array of the remix IDs.
SELECT t.*,
CASE
WHEN array_agg(r."remixTrackId") = '{NULL}'::varchar(255)[] THEN
'{}'::varchar(255)[]
ELSE
array_agg(r."remixTrackId")
END "remixes"
FROM "Tracks" t
LEFT JOIN "Remixes" r
ON r."originalTrackId" = t."id"
WHERE t."id" = 'track-id1'
GROUP BY t."id";
Note that, if there are no remixes array_agg() will return {NULL}. But I figured you rather want an empty array in such a case. That's what the CASE is for.
BTW, providing a fiddle is a nice move of yours! But please also include the code in the original question. The fiddle site might be down (even permanently) and that renders the question useless because of the missing information.
That's a simple outer join with a string aggregation to get the comma separated list:
SELECT t.*,
string_agg(r."remixTrackId", ', ') as remixes
FROM "Tracks" t
LEFT JOIN "Remixes" r ON r."originalTrackId" = t.id
WHERE t.id = 'track-id1'
GROUP BY t.id;
The above assumes that Tracks.id is the primary key of the Tracks table.
I have 3 tables code first, A and B and a join table (one to many relationship to link A and B), I would like to get all the results, not duplicate of the tables A and B and return it as selectList:
var a = from s in db.A
join ss in db.B on s.ps_id equals ss.ss_id
orderby s.ps_label
select new SelectListItem
{
Text = s.ps_id.ToString(),
Value = s.ps_label
};
return a;
This only returns results from the A table, but not from B as well. What is wrong, and what is your advice for best practice and performance for this?
I have three tables one is ItemCategory,ItemMaster and Price. I am referring itemaCategoryId in ItemMaster table and like that referring itemmasterid in price. Now i have to display contents of price order by itemcategory id. This is my criteria query.
CriteriaBuilder cb = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Price> cq = cb.createQuery(Price.class);
Root<Price> root = cq.from(Price.class);
Root<ItemMaster> itemMasterRoot = cq.from(ItemMaster.class);
Root<ItemCategory> itemCategoryRoot = cq.from(ItemCategory.class);
Join<ItemMaster, ItemCategory> s=itemMasterRoot.join(ItemMaster_.category);
Join<Price,ItemMaster> y=root.join(Price_.itemMaster);
Path<Long> itemMasterId=root.get(Price_.itemMasterId);
cq.select(root).where(cb.equal(root.get(Price_.priceMasterId), priceMasterId))
.orderBy(cb.asc(itemMasterId));
TypedQuery<Price> q = entityManager.createQuery(cq);
Above my criteria Query
If you use multiple from statements, you get the cartesian product of all entities. If you want to preserve the relationships, use join instead:
Root<Price> price = cq.from(Price.class);
Join<Price,ItemMaster> itemMaster = price.join(Price_.itemMaster);
Join<ItemMaster, ItemCategory> itemCategory = itemMaster.join(ItemMaster_.category);
However it looks like at least the second join may be useless, because you are able to access the category property directly using the getter, isn't it?:
Price aPriceResult;
ItemCategory categoryResult = aPriceResult.getItemMaster().getCategory();
I'm using Flask-SQLAlchemy with PostgreSQL. I have the following two models:
class Course(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True )
course_name =db.Column(db.String(120))
course_description = db.Column(db.Text)
course_reviews = db.relationship('Review', backref ='course', lazy ='dynamic')
class Review(db.Model):
__table_args__ = ( db.UniqueConstraint('course_id', 'user_id'), { } )
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True )
review_date = db.Column(db.DateTime)#default=db.func.now()
review_comment = db.Column(db.Text)
rating = db.Column(db.SmallInteger)
course_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('course.id') )
user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id') )
I want to select the courses that are most reviewed starting with at least two reviews. The following SQLAlchemy query worked fine with SQlite:
most_rated_courses = db.session.query(models.Review, func.count(models.Review.course_id)).group_by(models.Review.course_id).\
having(func.count(models.Review.course_id) >1) \ .order_by(func.count(models.Review.course_id).desc()).all()
But when I switched to PostgreSQL in production it gives me the following error:
ProgrammingError: (ProgrammingError) column "review.id" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 1: SELECT review.id AS review_id, review.review_date AS review_...
^
'SELECT review.id AS review_id, review.review_date AS review_review_date, review.review_comment AS review_review_comment, review.rating AS review_rating, review.course_id AS review_course_id, review.user_id AS review_user_id, count(review.course_id) AS count_1 \nFROM review GROUP BY review.course_id \nHAVING count(review.course_id) > %(count_2)s ORDER BY count(review.course_id) DESC' {'count_2': 1}
I tried to fix the query by adding models.Review in the GROUP BY clause but it did not work:
most_rated_courses = db.session.query(models.Review, func.count(models.Review.course_id)).group_by(models.Review.course_id).\
having(func.count(models.Review.course_id) >1) \.order_by(func.count(models.Review.course_id).desc()).all()
Can anyone please help me with this issue. Thanks a lot
SQLite and MySQL both have the behavior that they allow a query that has aggregates (like count()) without applying GROUP BY to all other columns - which in terms of standard SQL is invalid, because if more than one row is present in that aggregated group, it has to pick the first one it sees for return, which is essentially random.
So your query for Review basically returns to you the first "Review" row for each distinct course id - like for course id 3, if you had seven "Review" rows, it's just choosing an essentially random "Review" row within the group of "course_id=3". I gather the answer you really want, "Course", is available here because you can take that semi-randomly selected Review object and just call ".course" on it, giving you the correct Course, but this is a backwards way to go.
But once you get on a proper database like Postgresql you need to use correct SQL. The data you need from the "review" table is just the course_id and the count, nothing else, so query just for that (first assume we don't actually need to display the counts, that's in a minute):
most_rated_course_ids = session.query(
Review.course_id,
).\
group_by(Review.course_id).\
having(func.count(Review.course_id) > 1).\
order_by(func.count(Review.course_id).desc()).\
all()
but that's not your Course object - you want to take that list of ids and apply it to the course table. We first need to keep our list of course ids as a SQL construct, instead of loading the data - that is, turn it into a derived table by converting the query into a subquery (change the word .all() to .subquery()):
most_rated_course_id_subquery = session.query(
Review.course_id,
).\
group_by(Review.course_id).\
having(func.count(Review.course_id) > 1).\
order_by(func.count(Review.course_id).desc()).\
subquery()
one simple way to link that to Course is to use an IN:
courses = session.query(Course).filter(
Course.id.in_(most_rated_course_id_subquery)).all()
but that's essentially going to throw away the "ORDER BY" you're looking for and also doesn't give us any nice way of actually reporting on those counts along with the course results. We need to have that count along with our Course so that we can report it and also order by it. For this we use a JOIN from the "course" table to our derived table. SQLAlchemy is smart enough to know to join on the "course_id" foreign key if we just call join():
courses = session.query(Course).join(most_rated_course_id_subquery).all()
then to get at the count, we need to add that to the columns returned by our subquery along with a label so we can refer to it:
most_rated_course_id_subquery = session.query(
Review.course_id,
func.count(Review.course_id).label("count")
).\
group_by(Review.course_id).\
having(func.count(Review.course_id) > 1).\
subquery()
courses = session.query(
Course, most_rated_course_id_subquery.c.count
).join(
most_rated_course_id_subquery
).order_by(
most_rated_course_id_subquery.c.count.desc()
).all()
A great article I like to point out to people about GROUP BY and this kind of query is SQL GROUP BY techniques which points out the common need for the "select from A join to (subquery of B with aggregate/GROUP BY)" pattern.
Consider two tables Bill and Product with a many to many relationship. How do you get all the bills for a particular product using Entity Sql?
Something like this
SELECT B FROM [Container].Products as P
OUTER APPLY P.Bills AS B
WHERE P.ProductID == 1
will produce a row for each Bill
Another option is something like this:
SELECT P, (SELECT B FROM P.Bills)
FROM [Container].Products AS P
WHERE P.ProductID == 1
Which will produce a row for each matching Product (in this case just one)
and the second column in the row will include a nested result set containing the bills for that product.
Hope this helps
Alex
You need to use some linq like this;
...
using (YourEntities ye = new YourEntities())
{
Product myProduct = ye.Product.First(p => p.ProductId = idParameter);
var bills = myProduct.Bill.Load();
}
...
This assumes that you have used the entitiy framework to build a model for you data.
The bills variable will hold a collection of Bill objects that are related to your product object.
Hope it helps.
