I have a table of user ids that is huge.
I have an array of user ids that I want.
I have two tables that have a foreign user id key.
What is the best way to get this information performance wise?
Ideally in SQL the final result would be somewhat like this (null values if there is no user ID in one table but not the other):
userid table1value table2value
1 null 12
5 123 null
In my application I'm pulling back a user's "feed". This contains all of that user's activities, events, friend requests from other users, etc. When I pull back the feed I'm calling various functions to filter the request along the way.
var userFeed = GetFeed(db); // Query to pull back all data
userFeed = FilterByUser(userFeed, user, db); // Filter for the user
userFeed = SortFeed(userFeed, page, sortBy, typeName); // Sort it
The data that is returned is exactly what I need, however when I look at a SQL Profile Trace I can see that the query that is getting this data does not filter it at the database level and instead is selecting ALL data in the table(s).
This query does not execute until I iterate through the results on my view. All of these functions return an IEnumerable object.
I was under the impression that LINQ would take all of my filters and form one query to pull back the data I want instead of pulling back all the data and then filtering it on the server.
I have placed a textbox, dropdownlist and command button in a section of my master page. The textbox, named txtsearch, will be used to input a search string. The dropdownlist, named ddlsearch, will be used to specify in which field to search in the table, either part name or NSN.
Questions:
What VB code do I use to save the value entered into txtsearch as a search string? How do I pass that value to my entitydatasource? How do I tell entitydatasource to search in either the part name or NSN field based on the value of ddlsearch?
I have a datamodel with a couple of tables. One of my tables have about 40 fields (I know that is a lot, but we have to keep the structure in place as we are upgrading a classic ASP project to MVC). Some of my Actions only updates 1 or 2 fields in my table.
Is there a way to create Entities, for instance, that only contains the contact details of the client table, and not any other details, and then another entity that contains only the address details. I don't want to submit the entire row when I only update telephone details, or the client's picture.
I am doing this in my stored proc. Creating a temp table. Dumping the select results into the temp table and then select the info where the search string is based on the status name info.
because of the temp table, it is taking long to excecute. How can I get rid of the temp table and still seach based on the CurrentStatusName
Create proc [dbo].[usp_GetRequestsInfoOnSearchString]
(
@SearchString varchar(100)
)
as
Create TABLE #Request(
[RequestId] [int] NULL,
[RequestDate] [datetime] NULL,
[RequestText] [varchar](500) NULL,
[CurrentStatusId] [int] NULL,
[RiskLevelId] [int] NULL
)
INSERT into #Request
([RequestId] ,
[RequestDate] ,
[RequestText] ,
[CurrentStatusId] ,
[RiskLevelId] )
SELECT [RequestId]
,[RequestDate]
,[RequestText]
,CurrentStatusName = dbo.udf_GetRequestStatusName(CurrentStatusId)
,[RiskLevelId]
FROM [dbo].[Request]
select [RequestId] as [Request Id]
,[RequestDate] as [Request Date]
,[RequestText] as [Request Text]
,[CurrentStatusName] as [Current Status Name]
from #Request
WHERE ([CurrentStatusName] like @SearchString OR len(@SearchString)= 0 OR @SearchString is null)
As I tested SQL temp table drops every time when sql connection from ASP.NET is closed/open. Is this only way using it, or it can be used depends on ASP.NET session as well? I'd need to access temp table from more separate selects on more different pages on the web site, if it is possible.
View 2 RepliesHow to use Stored Procedures with Linq to Entities? I prefer an example with input and output The videos on asp.net only show how to do this with Linq to SQL.
View 5 RepliesI have a simple join:
SELECT * FROM MessageAlerts AS A LEFT OUTER JOIN Contacts AS C ON A.ContactId = C.Id LEFT OUTER JOIN
Users AS U ON A.UserId = U.Id INNER JOIN Businesses AS B ON B.Id = C.BusinessId OR B.UserId = U.Id

Suppose I have a temporary table (Shown below). The table is defined and populated in my stored procedure. After it is populated, I need to go through every row in the table. Here is what I need to do :
Check if Amount2 > Amount1 If Amount2 > Amount1 then set Amount1 = Amount2
It feels a little akward for me to use the temp table.

I can join with a regular SQL table fine but this won't work:
SELECT normalTbl.*, tmp.fld1 FROM normalTbl
LEFT JOIN #Temp tmp ON tmp.joinID = normalTbl.joinID
All tmp.fld1 values are shown as NULL even though fld1 contains valid values and the joinID matches the normalTbl (when I call SELECT * from #Temp). If I do the same exact thing with a regular table, fld1 shows the correct value. What am I doing wrong?
WHY are all the examples on this site linq to SQL? Did ms not themselves announce dropping support for l2SQL over a year ago? i really don't get it. Examples are great.. but really not helping me since i've gone ahead and listened to MS. And can someone at MS clarify what the position is for linq 2 SQL.. Is it supported? Recommended? What the hell.
View 7 RepliesI am trying to learn LINQ to entities, and am working out how to best structure my BLL layer. I have generated the entity model and have created a generic repository in my DAL that returns results as IList<T>. I initially created the BLL to also return
results as IList<T>:
public IList<DAL.Customer> SelectAll()
{ [code]...
Now I am working on the aspx page, and I can create an ObjectDataSource and configure it to use my BLL, but since I am returning IList, I can't sort since I am not using a DataView. I have seen some articles on the web for converting IList to DataView, but that seems like a lot of overhead for every query.My goal is to keep a clean separation between layers without making things overly complicated. I would like to know how others have done this, or maybe a link to a good tutorial that shows how to structure all three layers.

I am building a web application in asp.Net 4.0 and entity framework. I am trying to retrieve a list of products based on a collection of id's. I first gather all the id's in a collection and then pass it to the linq query. I am trying to get a functionality similar to the IN clause in SQL. The problem seems to be with the Contains() method in the Linq to entities query. Here is my Linq code:

I have a message table that self joins to itself where Message.ID == Message.Parent. So I have 1 Message with several ChildMessages. This is set up nicely with a Navigation property.
The code is currently:
var message = from m in soe.Messages.Include("ChildMessages")
where m.ID == id
&& m.IsActive
select m;
return message.FirstOrDefault();
What I really want is to only return 1 Message (that is equal to a particular ID and isActive) with all of its Active ChildMessages and I want to do it in one call to the database.
