Querying child collections has been a recurring issue in our applications where we use NHibernate (via LINQ). I want to figure out how to do it right. I just tried forever to get this query to work efficiently using LINQ, and gave up. Can someone help me understand the best way to do something like this?
Model: ServiceProvider
HasMany->ServicesProvided
The gotcha here is that the HasMany is mapped as a component, so I can't directly query the ServicesProvided. For posterity's sake, here's the mapping:
public S开发者_开发问答erviceProviderMap()
{
DiscriminatorValue(ProfileType.SERVICE_PROVIDER.ID);
HasMany(p => p.ServicesProvided)
.Table("ServiceProvider_ServicesProvided")
.KeyColumn("ProfileID")
.Component(spMapping =>
{
spMapping.Map(service => service.ID)
.Not.Nullable();
})
.AsBag();
}
The query I am trying to create would return a collection of the count of each service that is provided. IE: Service1 -> 200, Service2 -> 465, etc.
I was able to get the query working using HQL, so here it is. Note that it just returns the ID of the service that is provided:
select service.ID, count(service)
from ServiceProvider as profile
inner join profile.ServicesProvided as service
group by service.ID
I was able to get the query "working" using LINQ, but it performed atrociously. Here's the code I used (warning - it's ugly).
Func<ServiceProvider, IEnumerable<ServicesProvided>> childSelector = sp => sp.ServicesProvided;
var counts = this._sessionManager.GetCurrentSession().Linq<ServiceProvider>()
.Expand("ServicesProvided")
.SelectMany(childSelector, (t, c) => new { t = t, c = c })
.Select(child => child.c)
.GroupBy(sp => sp.ID)
.Select(el => new { serviceID = el.Key, count = el.Count() });
I would love to learn how to do this correctly, please.
Short of going with HQL, the most elegant solution I can think of would be using a Criteria object. The following will give you what you need and with very low overhead:
ICriteria criteria = this._sessionManager.GetCurrentSession().CreateCriteria(typeof(ServiceProvider), "sp");
//set projections for the field and aggregate, making sure to group by the appropriate value
criteria.CreateAlias("sp.ServicesProvided", "s", JoinType.LeftOuterJoin)
.SetProjection(Projections.ProjectionList()
.Add(Projections.Property("s.ID"), "serviceID")
.Add(Projections.Count("sp.ID"), "count")
.Add(Projections.GroupProperty("s.ID")));
IList<object[]> results = criteria.List();
foreach (object[] entry in results)
{
int id = (int)entry[0], qty = (int)entry[1];
//Do stuff with the values
}
