I have a problem with Entity Framework using the DefaultIfEmpty method. The following query is returning empty when it should return an offer that matches all criteria in the database.
If I remove one or both DefaultIfEmpty
method calls it works, but with them it doesn't. I need those to prevend another problem in the query.
When I execute the generated SQL query directly on the database it works and it returns the offer.
I also made an Unit Test reproducing the same example and it also passes so it must be an Entity Framework issue.
Here's the query:
private static Expression<Func<Offer, bool>> AddFilter(Service criteria)
{
return offer => offer.Restrictions.
SelectMany(rest => rest.OperatorRange.DefaultIfEmpty(), (rest, alop) => new { Restriction = rest, OperatorRange = alop.Id }).
Where(alop => criteria.ServiceUseNet == null || alop.OperatorRange.ToUpper() == criteria.ServiceUseNet.ToUpper()).
SelectMany(rest => rest.Restriction.CallType.DefaultIfEmpty(), (rest, till) => new { Restriction = rest, CallType = till.Id }).
Any(till => criteria.UseServiceCoverage == null || till.CallType.ToUpper() == criteria.UseServiceCoverage.ToUpper());
}
Change it into two Any
calls:
return offer => offer.Restrictions
.Any(rest
=> rest.OperatorRange
.Where(alop => criteria.ServiceUseNet == null
|| alop.OperatorRange.ToUpper() == criteria.ServiceUseNet.ToUpper())
.Any(till => criteria.UseServiceCoverage == null
|| till.CallType.ToUpper() == criteria.UseServiceCoverage.ToUpper()));
The predicate is supposed to test whether there are any OperatorRange
s (meeting some criteria) having any CallType
s meeting some criteria. If there are no OperatorRange
s, there won't be any CallType
s either, let alone matching CallType
s.
In this form, the predicate always returns true or false.
