EF Core - Query with many to many relationship very slow

Question

I want to do a "simple" query with Entity Framework Core that involves a many to many relationship.

Currently the execution time of the query is very slow because most of it seems to be run locally. I get the following warnings in my logs:

 The LINQ expression 'where ([categoryId] == [categoryRelationEntity].CategoryId)' could not be translated and will be evaluated locally.
 The LINQ expression 'Any()' could not be translated and will be evaluated locally.
 ...

The warnings basically tell me that nothing could be done in SQL and everything was done locally.

Here is my query in LINQ:

var categoryIds = new int[] { 1 , 2 , 3 };
var result = await _dbSet // MyTable
                    .Include(x => x.Categories) // CategoriesRelation
                    .ThenInclude(x => x.CategoryEntity)
                    .AsNoTracking()
                    .Where(x=>  x.Categories
                        .All(categoryRelationEntity => categoryIds.Any(categoryId => categoryId == categoryRelationEntity.CategoryId)))
                    .ToListAsync();

If I write the SQL myself it should look like this:

SELECT * FROM MyTable
LEFT OUTER JOIN CategoriesRelation ON MyTable.Id = CategoriesRelation.MyTableId
WHERE "CategoryId" IN (1,2,3)

Is something wrong with how I wrote my LINQ? I did some research and all resources that I found suggested I had to do All() and Any().

I tried many different things and nothing worked... I'm so frustrated that I'm very close to just writing it in raw sql...

Answer 1

尝试使用categoryIds.Contains(categoryId)方法代替.Any()

Download Z.EntityFramework.Plus.EFCore from nuget. ToListAsync() causes slower performance. Use AsQueryableAsync() instead for better performance. And use code below

var result = await _dbSet
                   .IncludeFilter(x => x.Categories.Where(x => categoryIds.Contains(x.categoryId)))
                   .ThenInclude(x => x.CategoryEntity).AsQueryableAsync();
