Error when using multiple includes

Post by Jupiler » Tue 26 Apr 2011 13:28

Hello,
I have an issue when using the Include statement.
When I try to include more then 2 relations there seems to be a problem:

These are fine:

Code: Select all

Context.Table.Include("Table1").Include("Table2").FirstOrDefault();
Context.Table.Include("Table1").Include("Table3").FirstOrDefault();
Context.Table.Include("Table2").Include("Table3").FirstOrDefault();
But this one generates an error message {"ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression"}:

Code: Select all

Context.Table.Include("Table1").Include("Table2").Include("Table3").FirstOrDefault();
After investigating the sql (ToTraceString of the ObjectQuery) that is generated I found the reason for the error:
The underlying query unions all tables, to have the same column format it will generate all columns for each table and set them to null if not applicable, for instance:

Code: Select all

select field1, field2, null, null from table1
union all
select null, null, field1, null from table2
This way, oracle automatically gets the datatype from the column that is not null and unions without a problem for 2 tables.

I would expect the query form 3 tables to be the same:

Code: Select all

select field1, field2, null, null from table1
union all
select null, null, field1, null from table2
union all
select null, null, null, field from table3
But...for three tables the generated query is different:

Code: Select all

select ... from (select field1, field2, null, null from table1
                      union all
                      select null, null, field1, null from table2)
union all
select null, null, null, field1 from table3
This causes the datatype error, for some reason Oracle does not set the correct datatype for the column of table3.
I would like to know if there is another or better way to use multiple includes or if there is a workaround.
Maybe someone can help, because I am stuck.
Thanks,
Femke

We have fixed the problem of type mismatch in the recent 6.30.145 build of dotConnect for Oracle. It can be downloaded from here (the trial version) or from Registered Users' Area (provided that you have an active subscription).
For more information about the fixes and improvements available in dotConnect for Oracle Beta, please refer to
this announcement.
Please let us know if the problem persists.

Hi Andrey,
Thank you for replying. I've installed the latest build of dotConnect and now run into a different problem that previously worked fine, I'm adding my code so you can see what happens
I'm using the include:

Code: Select all

EFContext.PrimingRuns.Include("PrimingDevices.PrimingRegistrations.PrimingRegistrationSamples").Where(p => p.OrderNo == orderNo & p.RunNumber == runNumber);
This generates the sql:

Code: Select all

  SELECT Project1.RUN_NUMBER,
         Project1.ORDER_NO,
         Project1.START_WEIGHT_STEEPING,
         Project1.END_WEIGHT_STEEPED_DRIED,

Can you help out?

We have fixed the issue, the fix will be available in the nearest build. We plan to release the new build next week.

As for the releases periodicity, we usually publish new builds once per two weeks.
