I try to run query like this with Nhibernate v.4:
Select o.Number, c.Address
From Order o join Client c on o.ClientId = c.Id
Where c.Name = "John"
Tried many ways to do that with JoinQueryOver and JoinAlias but nothing helps, endup with error "could not resolve property: Address of Order"
Session.QueryOver<Order>()
.JoinQueryOver(s => s.Client)
.Where(() => c.Name == "John")
.SelectList(x => .Select(Projections.Property<Order>(o => o.Number)
.SelectList(x => .Select(Projections.Property<Order>(o => o.Client.Address))
or like this
...
.SelectList(x => .Select(Projections.Property<Order>(o => o.Number)
.SelectList(x => .Select(Projections.Property<Client>(c => c.Address))
What is the right way to build the query or something very similar? Problem with 'Select' operator, 'Where' part works fine. I can also build non-join queries by this 2 entities separate from each other and it works well, but no idea how to join them
Finally I've figured out how to make it work:
Client client = null;
OrderClientDto dto = null;
var result = Session.QueryOver<Order>()
.JoinAlias(o => o.Client, () => client)
.Where(() => c.Name == "John")
.SelectList(x => x
.Select(o => o.Number).WithAlias(() => dto.Number)
.Select(() => o.Client.Address).WithAlias(() => dto.Address))
.TransformUsing(Transformers.AliasToBean<OrderClientDto>())
.List<OrderClientDto>();
Nhb is far from being intuitive and convenient. Same query is much easier to write in EF.

I have some QueryOver with several joins and the result I get is OK in terms of the returned objects. This is the code>
var l = session.QueryOver<Discount>(() => discount)
.JoinQueryOver<ConPrdGrp>(r => r.ConPrdGrps)
.JoinQueryOver<PrdGroupTree>(k => k.PrdGroupTree)
.JoinQueryOver<Product>(g => g.Products)
.Where(p => p.ProductID == Product.ProductID)
.And(() => discount.FomDato <= DateTime.Now && discount.TomDato >= DateTime.Now).List();
But if I look at the SQL statement, I can see that the generated query selects ALL columns from all joined tables although the result only returns a list of Discount objects. I can get some properties of Discount using projections and the query will be much smaller. But how I can instruct NHibernate to get just columns from the Discount table and not from all joined tables?
As far as I know there is NOT a simple way like: .Select(Projections.Properties<Discount>()). Check this a bit outdated question (NHIbernate: Shortcut for projecting all properties?)
What you can do is explicitly name the columns you would like to see:
... // the QueryOver you have
.SelectList (l => l
.Select(() => discount.ID).WithAlias(() => discount.ID)
.Select(() => discount.Code).WithAlias(() => discount.Code)
...
)
.TransformUsing(Transformers.AliasToBean<Discount>())
...
The second approach could be to create the Subquery, and then just QueryOver<Discount>() 16.8. Subqueries
QueryOver<Discount> subQuery =
QueryOver.Of<Discount>(() => innerDiscount)
.JoinQueryOver<ConPrdGrp>(r => r.ConPrdGrps)
.JoinQueryOver<PrdGroupTree>(k => k.PrdGroupTree)
.JoinQueryOver<Product>(g => g.Products)
.Where(p => p.ProductID == Product.ProductID)
.And(() => innerDiscount.FomDato <= DateTime.Now
&& innerDiscount.TomDato >= DateTime.Now).List()
.Select( Projections.Property(() => innerDiscount.ID))
;
var query = session.QueryOver<Discount>(() => discount)
.Where(Subqueries.PropertyIn("ID", subQuery.DetachedCriteria))
;
I need help converting this sql query into QueryOver Nhibernate criteria.
select distinct * from event e where e.name like '%req%'
or e.Id in (select r.eventId from requirement r where r.name like '%req%')
or e.Id in (select r.eventId from requirement r where r.id
in (select s.requirementId from solution s where s.name like '%sol%'))
var queryOver = session.QueryOver<Event>()
.Where(x => x.Name.IsInsensitiveLike("%"+searchTerms[1]+"%"))
.OrderBy(x => x.CreatedOn).Asc;
So far I have the main query but couldn't find enough reference material on how to add the subqueries. Haven't been successful using joinQueryOver.
Event has one-to-many rel with requirement and requirement has one-to-many rel with solution.
Requirement reqAlias = null;
Solution solAlias = null;
var subQuery = QueryOver.Of<Event>()
.JoinAlias(x => x.Requirements, () => reqAlias)
.Where(x => x.Name.IsInsensitiveLike(searchTerms[2]))
.JoinAlias(() => reqAlias.Solutions, () => solAlias)
.Where(x => x.Name.IsInsensitiveLike(searchTerms[3]))
.Select(Projections.Group<Event>(x => x.Id));
var events = session.QueryOver<Event>()
.Where(x => x.Name.IsInsensitiveLike(searchTerms[1]))
.WithSubquery.WhereProperty(x => x.Id).In(subQuery)
.List().ToList();
still not working.
When you use IsInsensitiveLike NHibernate appends the % after parsing, and uses lower to do a lower case comparison. In your code, you are appending the % yourself, which results in,
select distinct * from event e where e.name like %lower('%req%')%
which in turn, doesn't work.
Also, you have 3 subqueries, no a big one, so you need to restructure your code to account for that:
select r.eventId from requirement r where r.name like '%req%'
to
var firstQuery = QueryOver.Of<Requirement>()
.Where(r => r.Name.IsInsensitiveLike(searchTerms[2]))
.Select(r => r.EventId);
then,
select s.requirementId from solution s where s.name like '%sol%'
to
var solutionQuery = QueryOver.Of<Solution>()
.Where(s => s.Name.IsInsensitiveLike(searchTerms[3]));
then,
select r.eventId from requirement r where r.id
in (select s.requirementId from solution s where s.name like '%sol%')
to
var requirementQuery = QueryOver.Of<Requirement>()
.WithSubquery
.WhereProperty(r => r.Id).In(solutionQuery)
.Select(r => r.EventId);
Then you need to construct the main query using Restrictions.Or to include the 3 queries.
I am using NHibernate 3.0 and was comparing Query and QueryOver
var p = _prepo.Query<Party>()
.Where(c => c.Person.LastName == "Bobby")
.FirstOrDefault();
The above works, I get proxy class for p.Person if I view the object graph.
var p = _prepo.QueryOver<Party>()
.Where(c => c.Person.LastName == "Bobby")
.FirstOrDefault();
This one fails with error ==> could not resolve property: Person.LastName of:
Why?
I'm not familiar with the Linq provider but when using QueryOver you have to use a join to do a query like that:
Example 1
IQueryOver<Cat,Kitten> catQuery =
session.QueryOver<Cat>()
.JoinQueryOver(c => c.Kittens)
.Where(k => k.Name == "Tiddles");
Example 2
Cat catAlias = null;
Kitten kittenAlias = null;
IQueryOver<Cat,Cat> catQuery =
session.QueryOver<Cat>(() => catAlias)
.JoinAlias(() => catAlias.Kittens, () => kittenAlias)
.Where(() => catAlias.Age > 5)
.And(() => kittenAlias.Name == "Tiddles");
It works when you use Linq in this case because the filtering is being done on the client, not in the database. So it is actually the IEnumerable version of Where that is running which is not related to NHibernate.
The QueryOver uses Expression<Func<T,object>> which NHibernate tries to translate to SQL but fails. For reasons unknown to me you must explicitly join using JoinQueryOver or JoinAlias.
Some more info on QueryOver here:
http://nhibernate.info/blog/2009/12/17/queryover-in-nh-3-0.html
Basically I crossed the same problem of Linq provider in this linq-to-nhibernate-produces-unnecessary-joins
List<Competitions> dtoCompetitions;
dtoCompetitions = (from compset in session.Query<FWBCompetitionSet>()
where compset.HeadLine == true
&& compset.A.B.CurrentSeason == true
select (new Competitions
{
CompetitionSetID = compset.CompetitionSetID,
Name = compset.Name,
Description = compset.Description,
Area = compset.Area,
Type = compset.Type,
CurrentSeason = compset.A.B.CurrentSeason,
StartDate = compset.StartDate
}
)).ToList();
Which leads to duplicated join in its generated SQL
SELECT fwbcompeti0_.competitionsetid AS col_0_0_,
fwbcompeti0_.name AS col_1_0_,
fwbcompeti0_.DESCRIPTION AS col_2_0_,
fwbcompeti0_.area AS col_3_0_,
fwbcompeti0_.TYPE AS col_4_0_,
fwbseason3_.currentseason AS col_5_0_,
fwbcompeti0_.startdate AS col_6_0_
FROM fwbcompetitionset fwbcompeti0_
INNER JOIN A fwbcompeti1_
ON fwbcompeti0_.competitionseasonid = fwbcompeti1_.competitionseasonid
INNER JOIN A fwbcompeti2_
ON fwbcompeti0_.competitionseasonid = fwbcompeti2_.competitionseasonid
INNER JOIN B fwbseason3_
ON fwbcompeti2_.seasonid = fwbseason3_.seasonid
WHERE fwbcompeti0_.headline = #p0
AND fwbseason3_.currentseason = #p1
Notice these joins, which are totally duplicated and also affect my SQL Server's performence.
INNER JOIN A fwbcompeti1_
ON fwbcompeti0_.competitionseasonid = fwbcompeti1_.competitionseasonid
INNER JOIN A fwbcompeti2_
ON fwbcompeti0_.competitionseasonid = fwbcompeti2_.competitionseasonid
Update1
In the NHibernate 3.2, this LiNQ bug is still valid, and I could not find a simple and reasonable Linq solution.
So I used QueryOver + JoinAlias + TransformUsing finishing the job, workds perfect to me.
FWBCompetitionSet compset = null;
FWBCompetitionSeason compseason = null;
FWBSeason season = null;
IList<Competitions> dtoCompetitions;
dtoCompetitions = session.QueryOver<FWBCompetitionSet>(() => compset)
.JoinAlias(() => compset.FWBCompetitionSeason, () => compseason)
.JoinAlias(() => compseason.FWBSeason, () => season)
.Where(() => compset.HeadLine == true)
.And(() => season.CurrentSeason == true)
.SelectList(
list => list
.Select(c => c.CompetitionSetID).WithAlias(() => compset.CompetitionSetID)
.Select(c => c.Name).WithAlias(() => compset.Name)
.Select(c => c.Description).WithAlias(() => compset.Description)
.Select(c => c.Area).WithAlias(() => compset.Area)
.Select(c => c.Type).WithAlias(() => compset.Type)
.Select(c => season.CurrentSeason).WithAlias(() => season.CurrentSeason)
.Select(c => c.StartDate).WithAlias(() => compset.StartDate)
)
.TransformUsing(Transformers.AliasToBean<Competitions>())
.List<Competitions>();
Yet Another Edit:
I think I finally found out what's going on. It seems that the LINQ to NHibernate provider has trouble navigating associations from the target to the source table and generates a separate join each time it encounters such an association.
Since you don't provide your mapping, I used the mapping from linq-to-nhibernate-produces-unnecessary-joins. This model has a Document with one Job and many TranslationUnits. Each TranslationUnit has many Translation entities.
When you try to find a Translation based on a Job, you are traversing the associations in the reverse order and the LINQ provider generates multiple joins: one for Translation -> TranslationUnit and one for TranslationUnit to Document.
This query will generate redundant joins:
session.Query<TmTranslation>()
.Where(x => x.TranslationUnit.Document.Job == job)
.OrderBy(x => x.Id)
.ToList();
If you reverse the navigation order to Document -> TranslationUnit -> Translation, you get a query that doesn't produce any redundant joins:
var items=(from doc in session.Query<Document>()
from tu in doc.TranslationUnits
from translation in tu.Translations
where doc.Job ==job
orderby translation.Id
select translation).ToList();
Given this quirkiness, QueryOver seems like a better option.
Previous Edit:
I suspect the culprit is compset.A.B.CurrentSeason. The first joined table (fwbcompeti1_) returns A.B while the next two (fwbcompeti2_ and fwbseason3_) are used to return A.B. The LINQ to NHibernate provider doesn't seem to guess that A is not used anywhere else and fails to remove it from the generated statement.
Try to help the optimizer a little by replacing CurrentSeason = compset.A.B.CurrentSeason with CurrentSeason = true from the select, since your where statement returns only items with CurrentSeason == true.
EDIT: What I mean is to change the query like this:
List<Competitions> dtoCompetitions;
dtoCompetitions = (from compset in session.Query<FWBCompetitionSet>()
where compset.HeadLine == true
&& compset.A.B.CurrentSeason == true
select (new Competitions
{
CompetitionSetID = compset.CompetitionSetID,
Name = compset.Name,
Description = compset.Description,
Area = compset.Area,
Type = compset.Type,
CurrentSeason = true,
StartDate = compset.StartDate
}
)).ToList();
I simply replace the value compset.A.B.CurrentSeason with true
I'm using NHibernate 3.0 with both the LINQ provider and QueryOver. Sometimes I want to eager load related data, and there comes the method "Fetch" to the rescue, both in LINQ and QueryOver. Now I have a special scenario where I want to eager load a property not directly on the second level, like:
Foo f = ...;
f.A.B.C
with LINQ there's no problem, as you can "chain" fetches with the method "ThenFetch", like:
var result = Session.Query<Foo>().Fetch(a => a.A).ThenFetch(b => b.B).ThenFetch(c => c.C).ToList();
In QueryOver there's no such method, so how can I achieve the same result?
Thanks in advance.
I actually managed to solve this problem using two different approaches:
Approach one:
Session.QueryOver<Foo>().Fetch(x => x.A).Fetch(x => x.A.B).Fetch(x => x.A.B.C)
Approach two:
A a = null;
B b = null;
C c = null;
Session.QueryOver<Foo>()
.JoinAlias(x => x.A, () => a)
.JoinAlias(() => a.B, () => b)
.JoinAlias(() => b.C, () => c)
Both work (altough I'm not exactly sure if one of them generated "inner" and the other one "outer" joins).
Just as a curiosity, I'll post the reply they gave me on the NHibernate Jira:
query
.Fetch(p => p.B)
.Fetch(p => p.B.C) // if B is not a collection ... or
.Fetch(p => p.B[0].C) // if B is a collection ... or
.Fetch(p => p.B.First().C) // if B is an IEnumerable (using .First() extension method)
I think you can do that with JoinQueryOver
IQueryOver<Relation> actual =
CreateTestQueryOver<Relation>()
.Inner.JoinQueryOver(r => r.Related1)
.Left.JoinQueryOver(r => r.Related2)
.Right.JoinQueryOver(r => r.Related3)
