Assuming the following code that applies filtering logic to a passed on collection.
private IQueryable<Customer> ApplyCustomerFilter(CustomerFilter filter, IQueryable<Customer> customers)
{
...
if (filter.HasProductInBackOrder == true)
{
customers = customers.Where(c => c.Orders.Any(o => o.Products.Any(p => p.Status == ProductStatus.BackOrder)))
}
....
return customers;
}
Results in this SQL statement:
SELECT [Extent1].[CustomerId] AS [CustomerId],
[Extent1].[Status] AS [Status]
FROM [Customers] AS [Extent1]
WHERE
(
EXISTS
(
SELECT 1 AS [C1]
FROM
(
SELECT [Extent3].[OrderId] AS [OrderId]
FROM [Orders] AS [Extent3]
WHERE [Extent1].[CustomerId] = [Extent3].[CustomerId]
) AS [Project1]
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT 1 AS [C1]
FROM [Products] AS [Extent4]
WHERE ([Project1].[OrderId] = [Extent4].[OrderId])
AND ([Extent4].[Status] = @p__linq__6)
)
)
)
However, I would like to optimize this by forcing to use INNER JOINS so that the result will be similar to this:
SELECT [Extent1].[CustomerId] AS [CustomerId],
[Extent1].[Status] AS [Status]
FROM [Customers] AS [Extent1]
INNER JOIN [Orders] AS [Extent2] ON [Extent1].[CustomerId] = [Extent2].[CustomerId]
INNER JOIN [Products] AS [Extent3] ON [Extent2].[OrderId] = [Extent3].[OrderId]
WHERE [Extent3].[Status] = @p__linq__6
I've tried multiple approaches, but I was unable to accomplish the desired result. Any suggestions on how to force the correct joins and avoiding subselects?
