不支持聚合扩展方法（Linq to Sql）

Question

我试图在linq to Sql中使用Aggregate Method，但看起来它不受支持。

LibrarySystemDataContext ctx = new LibrarySystemDataContext();

var query = ctx.Books
  .Select(x => new
      {
        BookID = x.BookID,
          BookName = x.Title,
          Authors = x.AuthorBooks.Select(a => a.Author)
          .Aggregate(new StringBuilder(), (sb, r) => sb.Append(r.FirstName + " " + r.LastName +"& "), sb => sb.ToString())
          });

要使用Aggregate，我立即将书籍转换为IEnumerable，如下所示：

var query = ctx.Books.AsEnumerable()
  .Select(x => new
      {
        BookID = x.BookID,
          BookName = x.Title,
          Authors = x.AuthorBooks.Select(a => a.Author)
          .Aggregate(new StringBuilder(), (sb, r) => sb.Append(r.FirstName + " " + r.LastName +"& "), sb => sb.ToString())
          });

而且，这正在工作。 我想知道如果我编写这样的查询会带来什么弊端或设计缺陷。

使用ctx.Books.AsEnumerable()您将从数据库中选择整个books表，并开始在内存中对其进行处理。 这不是一个好的设计。 您应该做的是，选择所需的数据，然后在本地进行处理。

例如

var temp = ctx.Books
  // probably some where clause
  .Select(x => new
      {
        BookID = x.BookID,
          BookName = x.Title,
          Authors = x.AuthorBooks.Select(a => a.Author)
          })
  .ToArray();

var books = temp.Select(x => new { 
    x.BookID, 
    x.BookName, 
    Authors = x.Authors.Aggregate(new StringBuilder(), (sb, r) => sb.Append(r.FirstName + " " + r.LastName +"& "), sb => sb.ToString()) 
});
