ADO.NET :: Linq To Sql Determine Which Tables To Write?
Sep 9, 2010
I was wondering how Linq to Sql determines which tables to write to when given primary/foreign Key relationships. I can (hopefully) better explain using an example. I have the following tables:
Customer CustomerStatus CustomerType CustomerAddresses
Therefore I have a Customer Entity, a CustomerStatus entity, a CustomerType Entity and a List of CustomerAddresses. In my code, I load up the Customer Entity and the List of CustomerAddresses because that's all I need. For some reason Linq to Sql is trying to insert a new Customer Status record. I have no idea why its doing this.
Can anyone please explain to me how linq to sql determines which table(s) will be written to based on the entities above?

I'm writing a SQL query where I need to detect if the value of an integer column in one table is contained within the value of a varchar column of another table. For example:
Table1 has columns A, B, C
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
Table2 has columns D, E, F
D = "1,2,3,4,5"
E = "2, 5, 10, 15"
F = "1, 3, 49"
How would I write SQL SELECT statement to determine if the value in Table1.A is in Table2.D, Table1.B is in Table2.E, and Table1.C is in Table2.F?

List<ThemeObject> themeList = (from theme in database.Themes
join image in database.DBImages on theme.imageID equals image.imageID
into resultSet
from item in resultSet
select new ThemeObject { Name = theme.Name, ImageID = item.imageID}).ToList();
dgvGridView.DataSource = themeList;
dgvGridView.DataBind();
The list object populates fine. The datagrid is setup with 2 columns. A textbox column for the "Name" which is bound to "Name" An image column which is bound to the "ImageID" field. When I execute the code I receive the following error on the DataBind() Could not determine a MetaTable. A MetaTable could not be determined for the data source '' and one could not be inferred from the request URL. Make sure that the table is mapped to the dats source, or that the data source is configured with a valid context type and table name, or that the request is part of a registered DynamicDataRoute. I'm not using any dynamicdataroutes as far as I can tell. Has anyone experienced this error before?

how to use a LINQ query in the following scenario and if we can do it without any enumerators:Suppose we have an Employee table and a Dept table where we have DeptId as a foriegn key reference in Employee table. So we can write a SQL like this.SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE DeptId in (SELECT DeptId FROM Dept WHERE Location = 'LK') Here, in the where clause, we might get multiple values. Is it possible to pass a list of values to the where clause in Linq?

I was trying to find out how I can join more than 2 tables using the LINQ-to-SQL syntax. For instance, joining 2 tables in SQL:
SELECT * FROM Table1 AS T1 INNER JOIN Table2 AS T2 ON T1.Key=T2.Column1WHERE T2.Key='17';
can be expressed as:
var Result = from T1 in DbContext.Table1 join T2 in DbContext.Table2 on T1.Key equals T2.ForeignKey where T2.Key=17 select new { T1, T2 };
But how would I join 3 or more tables using LINQ? For example:
SELECT * FROM (Table1 AS T1 INNER JOIN Table2 AS T2 ON T1.Key=T2.Column1) INNER JOIN Table3 AS T3 ON T3.Key=T2.Column2 WHERE T2.Key='37';
I've been searching and experimenting and I cannot seem to find any informraiton on this. One example I found involves putting the result for the frist join into a temp object, and then performing the second join. I'm not sure performance-wise if that's the same as doing a 3-table join directly using a single SQL statement.

I have a partitioned db where several tables have the exact same structure. I'm able to query the tables using linq, but only by quering the individual tables 1 at a time and by using the explicit table name. For example at the moment, I have 8 tables so I have something similar to the following:
[Code]....
Is there any way, that based on a certain value (stringValue), I could determine which table to query and then code the linq query just once?

I have two tables:
Entity
ID (PK), int
Name
Descrip
Users
ID (PK)
EntityID, int (this is not connected to Entity table)
Now I am using LINQ to pull the records which has a Entity.ID = something. Which will show me couple of records in my GridView. Here is my LINQ statement:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string getEntity = Request.QueryString["EntityID"];
int getIntEntity = Int32.Parse(getEntity);
OISEntityTestingDataContext db = new OISEntityTestingDataContext();
//OISLinqtoSQLDataContext db = new OISLinqtoSQLDataContext();
var tr =
from r in db.Users
join s in db.Entities on r.UserID equals s.ID
where s.ID == getIntEntity
select new
{
//To Show Items in GridView!
};
GridView1.DataSource = tr;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
Now here I am getting an error mesg on 'join' The type of one of the expressions in the join clause is incorrect. Type inference failed in the call to 'Join What does that mean?

Here's my DB structure:
I have three tables.
User, Details, Optional
User has fields: ID, FirstName, LastName
Details has fields: ID, MyDetails1, MyDetails2, User_ID
Optional has fields: ID, MyOptions1, MyOptions2, User_ID
There is a 1 to many relationship with User & Detail (User ID & Detail User_ID)
There is a 1 to many relationship with User & Optional (User ID & Optional User_ID)
With that said, one user can have many details and/or many optionals
Now I'm trying to build a linq query that will say:
"where user id = x, select FirstName, LastName, all MyDetails1 from every record where User_ID == x, all MyOptions1 from every record where User_ID == x"
After the merge I should have one string that lists the distict user & all of their many fields:
FirstName + LastName + (MyDetails1 + MyDetails1 + MyDetails1..etc) + (MyOptions1 + MyOptions1)
Anyone try this before?
I tried this with JOIN but this doesn't do the trick for what I'm looking for.
So if I had 3 MyDetails records associated with ID == 2, I would get three results like:
John Doe MyDetails_X
John Doe MyDetails_Y
John Doe MyDetails_Z

I also have taken account to Int32 due to entity framework http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb896317.aspx. Unfortunatley, still same problem.

How I can write following SQL query using LINQ. There is no default constraint define for the ID column so we have explicitly pass the NEWID().
I want to replicate the products of a company to another company.
Insert Into Products Select NEWID() AS ProductID, ProductName, CompanyID = @DestinationID, ProductCategoryID From Products Where CompanyID = @SourceID
Also once I get these result how can I use InsertAllOnSubmit to insert all the records at once without looping it.

Does anyone have some really great tutorials on how to use link with datasets that contain multiple tables that utilise primary key and foreign key relations? For eample
Table1
- id (PK)
- language
Table2
-id (PK)
-programmingword
Table3
-id (PK)
-languages_ID (FK)
-pgrammingword_ID (FK)
-translatedword
Linq search for: Table3.translatedword where Table1.Language ='french' and Table2.programmingword = "yes" does this make sense? im looking for exampes/ tutorials for how to do this? or can anyone recommend any good books on linq?

I'm working with asp.net 3.5 WebForms and LINQ to Entities.
I created the database with their relationships, but when I go to import the data with LinqToEntities, some reports and have not seen any reports 1 to 1.
I can create them after the reports have imported the tables LinqToEntities?

I'm a newbie to this so bear with me. From what I've read online LINQ to Entity should see the relationships without having to specify the joins between multiple tables. I have a relationship that goes across 4 tables Employee, EmployeeDepartmentLink, EmployeeProjectLink, and Project. The idea is an employee can be in multiple departments and work on multiple projects with it being specified which department the employee is in for that project.
This is a C# MVC3 program connecting to a SQL database using VS 2010 Express.
I have no problem with running this query to find employees on a project:
[Code]....
Tring to do the reverse, finding projects that an employee worked on results in an error:
[Code]....
Error message: The specified type member 'EmployeeDepartmentLinks' is not supported in LINQ to Entities. Only initializers, entity members, and entity navigation properties are supported. So I have 2 questions,
1) Why would it work in one direction and not the other? I've played around with it for a couple days with the same results.
2) Does it matter that my primary key and foreign keys are not named the same since all the relationships are connected in SQL? Ex: in Employee (EmployeePK)--(EmployeeFK) in EmployeeDepartmentLink Trying different stuff in LINQPad I was able to get the 2nd query to work if I specified all the joins which I thought was not neccesary with LINQ to Entity. I converted an SQL query that I made on the server into a LINQ query below which works.
