对实体框架中的不同DbSet使用相同的查询

Question

I have two different views to the same database table and I would like to use same query against both views.

I have now following ugly solution where I have basically copy of the query.

DbSet<uvw_MyView1> view1 = entities.uvw_MyView1;
DbSet<uvw_MyView2> view2 = entities.uvw_MyView2;

if(doQueryOnView1)
{
    // huge query
    view1.Where(jada jada)
}
else
{
    // huge query copied here with exception of different DbSet
    view2.Where(jada jada)
}

What I would like to have is more elegant solution. Basically I want to have same query part for two DbSet's that are in column wise exactly same, but those return different rows. Any ideas?

Add interface containing all properties of your view and implement this interface by both view entities. After that create method containing whole your query:

public static IQueryable<T> YourHugeQueryMethod<T>(DbContext context, ...) 
     where T : class, IView, new()
{
    DbSet<T> set = context.Set<T>();
    return set.Where(...);
}
