在 Linq 中使用多个表和左外部连接的复杂联接

Question

希望有人能通过这个连接为我指出正确的方向。 我正在尝试将一些SQL转换为Linq。我的 SQL 在几个内部连接后有一个左外联接。 以下 SQL 生成所需的结果：

SELECT TOP(50) [t].[TagFriendlyName] AS [TagName], [t0].[timeStamp] AS [LastSeen], [l].[Name] AS [LocationName]
FROM [Tags] AS [t]
INNER JOIN [tag_reads] AS [t0] ON [t].[epc] = [t0].[epc]
INNER JOIN [ReaderData] AS [r] ON [t0].[ReaderDataId] = [r].[Id]
LEFT OUTER JOIN [Readers] AS [r0] ON [r].[mac_address] = [r0].[mac_address]
INNER JOIN [Locations] AS [l] on [t0].[antennaPort] = [l].[AntennaId] AND [r].[Id] = [l].[ReaderId]
GROUP BY [t].[TagFriendlyName], [t0].[timeStamp], [l].[Name]
ORDER BY [t0].[timeStamp] DESC 

我的 Linq 代码如下，但我不知道如何正确插入左外部连接。不知道如何引入需要左外部连接的读取器表：

var query = (
from tags in db.Tags
join tagreads in db.tag_reads on tags.epc equals tagreads.epc
join readerdata in db.ReaderData on tagreads.ReaderDataId equals readerdata.Id
join readers in db.Readers on readerdata.mac_address equals readers.mac_address
group tags by new { tags.TagFriendlyName, timestamp = tagreads.timeStamp, readerdata.mac_address } into grp
select new CurrentStatus()
{
TagName = grp.Key.TagFriendlyName,
LastSeen = grp.Key.timestamp,
LocationName = grp.Key.mac_address
}
)
.OrderByDescending(o => o.LastSeen)

根据文档，我需要使用DefaultIfEmpty()，但我不确定在哪里引入阅读器表。

使用 EF 核心 3.1.0。 谢谢！

您应该以这种方式应用Left Join：

join readers in db.Readers on readerdata.mac_address equals readers.mac_address into readersJ
from readers in readersJ.DefaultIfEmpty()

完整代码：

var query = (
from tags in db.Tags
join tagreads in db.tag_reads on tags.epc equals tagreads.epc
join readerdata in db.ReaderData on tagreads.ReaderDataId equals readerdata.Id
join readers in db.Readers on readerdata.mac_address equals readers.mac_address into readersJ
from readers in readersJ.DefaultIfEmpty()
join locations in db.Locations 
on new { ap = tagreads.antennaPort, rd = readerdata.Id }
equals new { ap = locations.AntennaId, rd = locations.ReaderId }
group tags by new { tags.TagFriendlyName, timestamp = tagreads.timeStamp, readerdata.mac_address } into grp
select new CurrentStatus()
{
TagName = grp.Key.TagFriendlyName,
LastSeen = grp.Key.timestamp,
LocationName = grp.Key.mac_address
}
)
.OrderByDescending(o => o.LastSeen)
