Breeze Query: compare two columns on Related entity - one-to-many

Using Breeze, how can I compare two columns on a related property of an entity?
public class TableA{
public ICollection<TableB> TableBEntity {get; set;}
}
public class TableB{
public TableC TableCEntity {get; set;}
}
public class TableC {
public string columnA { get; set;}
public string columnB { get; set;}
}
var subpredicate = Predicate.create('TableCEntity.columnA', FilterQueryOp.Equals, 'TableCEntity.columnB');
var predicate = Predicate.create('TableBEntity', FilterQueryOp.Any, subpredicate);
var query1 = EntityQuery.from('TableB')
.where(subpredicate);
var query2 = EntityQuery.from('TableA')
.where(predicate );
query1 above executes without error. However query2 gives me the error:
The query specified in the URI is not valid. Could not find a property named 'TableCEntity' on type 'TableA'.
It seems as the subpredicate is not properly evaluated and it searches for the property TableCEntity on TableA instead of on TableB. If I change the subpredicate to
var subpredicate = Predicate.create('TableCEntity.columnA', FilterQueryOp.Equals, 'asamplevalue');
then, query2 works find. It just does not work the right side of the predicate is a record's column.
Am i doing something wrong or is this a bug?

The breeze 'any' and 'all' operators require that the property returned by the first expression ( "orders" in the example below) be a nonscalar navigation property. i.e. a navigation property that returns a collection. The subpredicate is then is just a simple predicate against the type returned by the first expression.
var query = EntityQuery.from("Employees")
.where("orders", "any", "freight", ">", 950);
with predicates this would be expressed as follows
var p2 = Predicate.create("freight", ">", 950);
var p1 = Predicate.create("orders", "any", p2);
var query = EntityQuery.from("Employees").where(p1);
In your case, i'm not sure what you are trying to do with your 'query2'. 'query2' appears to be a query over a collection of 'TableB' entities returned from 'TableA', but the 'subpredicate' deals with 'TableC' entities.
If this doesn't help, it might be easier to assist if you could restate your TableA, B and C names with table names that are a bit more intuitive and pluralize the collection property names.
Hope this helps.

Hibernate createNativeQuery returns duplicate rows

I have 2 database tables Customer and Items with 1 -> many relation. To fetch data from database i am using the following query.
select customer.id, customer.name, items.itemName, items.itemPrice from testdb.customer INNER JOIN items ON items.customer_Id = customer.id
I have an entity class Customers
#Entity
public class Customer{
#Id
private int id;
#Column
private String name;
#Column
private String itemName;
#Column
private int itemPrice;
public Customer() {}
//Getter and setter are here
.......
}
in Service class i have the following code.
#GET #Path("/getCustomerInfo")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public List getCustomerInfo() {
CustomerDao dao = new CustomerDao();
return dao.getBuildingsCustomerInfo();
}
in my DAO class i have the following code
public List<Customer> getCustomerInfo(){
Session session = SessionUtil.getSession();
String queryString = "the above mentioned query";
List<Customer> customerInfo = session.createNativeQuery(queryString, Customer.class) ;
session.close();
return customerInfo;
}
I am getting the following JSON response from the service
[id:1, name:"Alfred", itemName:"jeans", itemprice:10],[id:1, name:"Alfred", itemName:"jeans", itemprice:10],[id:2, name:"James", itemName:"watch", itemPrice:20 ],[id:2, name:"James", itemName:"watch", itemPrice:20 ], [id:2, name:"James", itemName:"watch", itemPrice:20 ]
The number of results are 5 which is correct But 2nd result is a copy of 1st, 4th and 5th are copies of 3rd. In 2nd, 4th and 5th results the itemName and the itemPrice should be different.
if I use createSQLQuery(queryString); instead of createNativeQuery(queryString, Customer.class); I am getting the correct result but without entity attribut names.
[1, "Alfred", "jeans", 10],[1, "Alfred", "shirt", 15],[2, "James", "watch", 20], [2, "James", "coffee", 25], [2, "James", "drinks", 30]
I have seen number of articles but could not find the solution. I have to use createNativeQuery() not createSQLQuery() because I need to map the entity class attributes. Please let me know if i am doing something wrong.
Your data structure is wrong on the Java side and not corresponding to the database relation. In the relation you describe you need to have a list of items:
#Entity
public class Customer implements Serializable {
// ... the fields you have so far
// assuming the parent field on the other side is called customer
// you may also want to set the cascade and orphanRemoval properties of the annotation
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "customer")
#JsonManagedReference // assuming you're using Jackson databind JSON
private List<Item> items;
}
And on the Item side:
#Entity
public class Item implements Serializable {
#Id
private int id;
#JsonBackReference
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name = "customer_Id")
private Customer customer;
}
Then if you really the JSON data strucutred that way, you need a third Entity class to use as a ResultSetMapping.
#Entity
#SqlResultSetMapping(
name = "CustomerItem",
entities = #EntityResult(entityClass = CustomerItem.class)
)
#NamedNativeQueries({
#NamedNativeQuery(
name = "CustomerItem.getAll",
resultSetMapping = "CustomerItem"
query = "select customer.id as cid, items.id as iid, customer.name,"
+ " items.itemName, items.itemPrice from testdb.customer INNER JOIN"
+ " items ON items.customer_Id = customer.id"
)
})
public class CustomerItem implements Serializable {
#Id
private int cid;
#Id
private int iid;
#Column
private String name;
#Column
private String itemName;
#Column
private int itemPrice;
... getters and setters
}
Then you can use the native query in named variant, which should offer some slight optimizations.
List<CustomerItem> lst = em.createNamedQuery("CustomerItem.getAll", CustomerItem.class)
.getResultList();
The use of #SqlResultSetMapping is so that the returned entities are not monitored for changes, but you can still use the defined entity for the result. I believe that by JPA specification it should also work without it, but in Hibernate it doesn't. Could be a bug, or a planned, but not implemented feature, or I could just be misinterpreting the JPA usage, but this workaround does work with Hibernate 5+.
Not sure about the exact reason behind duplicates but SELECT DISTINCT will solve your issue as it will take only distinct records.
Refer using-distinct-in-jpa
I solve this issue by using #SqlResultSetMapping

Fluent Nhibernate join on non foreign key property

I can't find this anywhere, but it seems pretty trivial. So, please excuse if this is a duplicate.
I have something like:
public class Doctor : Entity
{
...some other properties here...
public virtual string Email { get; set; }
}
public class Lawyer : Entity
{
...some other properties here...
public virtual string Email { get; set; }
}
I want to return all doctors where there is no email match in the Lawyers table like:
select * from Doctors d
where d.Email not in
(select l.Email from Lawyers l where l.Email is not null)
or using a join:
select d.* from Doctors d
left join Lawyers l on l.Email = d.Email
where l.Email is null
The problem is that the Email is of course not set up as a foreign key. I have no mapped property on the Doctor entity that maps to Lawyer.
What I've tried so far:
ICriteria criteria = Session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Doctor))
.CreateAlias("Lawyers.Email", "LawyerEmail", JoinType.LeftOuterJoin)
.Add(Restrictions.IsNull("LawyerEmail"));
return criteria.List<Doctor>();
But, I get a "cannot resolve property Lawyer of MyPlatform.MyNamespace.Doctor" error. Any ideas how to set up my DoctorMap and adjust the criteria tomfoolery to achieve this?
NHibernate for the loss........Entity Framework for the win....
We can achieve that with a feature called subquery:
// a inner SELECT to return all EMAILs from Lawyer table
var subQuery = DetachedCriteria.For<Lawyer>()
.SetProjection(Projections.Property("Email"));
// the root SELECT to get only these Doctors
var criteria = session.CreateCriteria<Doctor>();
// whos email is not in the sub SELECT
criteria.Add(Subqueries.PropertyNotIn("Email", subQuery));
// get first 10
var result = criteria
.SetMaxResults(10)
.SetFirstResult(0) // paging
.List<Doctor>();

How to use ExecuteStoreQuery for fetching data from Multiple tables

My application is in Asp.Net MVC3 coded in C#.Net. My issue is i want to get data from database using SQL query, for that i'm aware that i can use the below technique
Code to get data using ExecuteStoreQuery
var Complete_Data = db.ExecuteStoreQuery<Mytable>("select * from Mytable").ToList();
I have two issues
How to get the data in var Complete_Data when the data is coming from Multiple table (i.e the query has multiple joins).
I will be generating the selecting columns dynamically. The select query columns will generating dynamically.
Below is the sample example
string Field_Formation=string.Empty;
foreach (var item in My_Parameter_Collection_Logic_Variable)
{
Field_Formation+= item.Field_Name + ",";
}
Here My_Parameter_Collection_Logic_Variable is a variable declared in my code that will have a certain collection.
var Complete_Data = db.ExecuteStoreQuery<What_Class_To_Be_Taken_Here>("select" + Field_Formation + " from My_Tables_With_Multiple_Joins").ToList();
Need suggestion, whether it is possible to do such a stuff.
var Complete_Data = db.ExecuteStoreQuery<**What_Class_To_Be_Taken_Here**>
<What_Class_To_Be_Taken_Here> - this class must have properties like your Field_Formation.
For example if your select is:
"SELECT e.idExpense AS ExpenseID, e.idVehicle as VehicleID, d.Date AS Date1 .... join ... where ..."
create class like this:
public class ItemExample
{
private int VehicleID{ get; set; }
private int ExpenseID{ get; set; }
private DateTime? Date1 { get; set; }
}
You can write query using join and get your data from multiple tables.
for eg:-
var Complete_Data = db.ExecuteStoreQuery("select * from Table1 as T1 inner join Table2 as T2 on T1.id=T2.Id").ToList();
You will get all column of all table and then you can access using A.ColumnName or B.ColumnName.

NHibernate: Return a referenced property without lazy loading using SetProjection

I have the following two classes mapped:
public class Foo
{
public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
public virtual Bar Bar { get; set; }
}
public class Bar
{
public virtual Guid Id { get; set; }
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}
I have the following Criteria:
return Session.CreateCriteria<Foo>("f")
.CreateAlias("f.Bar", "b")
.SetProjection(Projections.Property("f.Bar"))
.List<Bar>();
This generates the following SQL:
select b.Id from Foo f
inner join Bar on f.BarId = b.Id
Notice how only the Id of Bar is returned, rather than the entire class. How do I get all the columns of Bar instead?
The solution depends on your needs.
First of all if you need to return entity Bar, then your initial Criteria must be of type Bar so you just:
session.CreateCriteria<Bar>().
.List<Bar();
If you need to add some restrictions based on Foo then there are two ways.
Use HQL
session.CreateQuery(
"select b " +
"from Foo f " +
"inner join f.Bar b " +
"where f.Id = 9 ")
.List();
Use query only property. Do this by adding access="noop" in your Bar mapping file.
<many-to-one name="foo" access="noop" class="Foo" column="FooFk"/>
Note that your domain model doesn't have to change! You don't need to add that "foo" property/field in the Bar class.
Now you can use that property in your queries like:
session.CreateCriteria<Bar>()
.CreateAlias("foo", "f")
.Add(Restrictions.Eq("f.Id", 9))
.List<Bar>();
If it doesn't fit into a single criteria, use DetachedCriteria:
var subquery = DetachedCriteria.For<Foo>("f")
.SetProjection(Projections.Property("f.Bar"))
// more filter criteria ...
return session.CreateCriteria<Bar>
.SetProjection(Subqueries.PropertyIn("id", subquery));
which creates sql like this:
select Bar.*
from Bar
where Bar.id in (Select b.id from Foo f inner join Bar b on ...)
Is obviously only make sense if you have some filter criteria base on Foo in the subquery.
If the above detached criteria query doesnt work out here is a simple HQL query that should do the trick.
var hqlQuery="select b from Foo as f inner join f.Bar as b";
Now run this query as follows:
Session.CreateQuery(hqlQuery).List<Boo>();
you can now add where condition to your query too if you want.
Hope this helps.. I can tell you how to do it with Criteria but I think this is a little easier for you to ustand as u seem to be comfortable with SQL.

NHibernate Polymorphic Query on a Collection

I'm trying to write a query in NHibernate. I don't really care if I use the Criteria API or HQL, I just can't figure out how to write the query.
Here's my model:
public class LogEntry { public DateTime TimeCreated { get; set; } }
public class Note : LogEntry { public string Content { get; set; } }
public class Workflow { public IList<LogEntry> Log { get; set; } }
I want the query to return all Workflows that which contain a Note with specific words in the Content of the note.
In pseudo-SQL, I'd write this like:
select w.*
from Workflow w
join w.Log l where l is class:Note
where (Note)l.Content like '%keyword%'
I'm not sure about the Criteria API, but HQL seems to handle polymorphic queries quite well, even when searching on a property that only exists in a specific sub-class. I would expect the following to work:
from Workflow w join w.Log l where l.class = Note and l.Content like '%keyword%'
I don't know if there is a better way, but I use subqueries for this:
from Workflow w
join w.Log l
where l in (
select n
from Note n
where n.Content like '%keyword%'
)
(if this doesn't work, write l.id in (select n.id...)
In criteria, you can directly filter properties that are only available on a subclass, but you shouldn't, because it only filters for the first subtype it finds where this property is defined.
I use subqueries as well:
DetachedCriteria subquery = DetachedCriteria.For<Note>("n")
.Add(Expression.Like("n.Content", "%keyword%"))
.SetProjection(Projections.Property("n.id"));
IList<Workflow> workflows = session.CreateCriteria<Workflow>("w")
.CreateCriteria("w.Log", "l")
.Add(Subqueries.PropertyIn("l.id", subquery))
.List<Workflow>();
