SelectExpression Class

Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.SqlExpressions

Assembly:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational.dll

Package:

Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational v8.0.0

An expression that represents a SELECT in a SQL tree.

This type is typically used by database providers (and other extensions). It is generally not used in application code.

Constructors

SelectExpression(JsonQueryExpression, TableExpressionBase, String, Type, RelationalTypeMapping)	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.
SelectExpression(TableExpressionBase, String, Type, RelationalTypeMapping, Nullable<Boolean>, String, Type, RelationalTypeMapping)	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.

Properties

Alias	The alias assigned to this table source. (Inherited from TableExpressionBase)
DebugView	Expand this property in the debugger for a human-readable representation of this SelectExpression. Warning: Do not rely on the format of the debug strings. They are designed for debugging only and may change arbitrarily between releases.
GroupBy	The SQL GROUP BY clause for the SELECT.
Having	The HAVING predicate for the SELECT when GroupBy clause exists.
IsDistinct	A bool value indicating if DISTINCT is applied to projection of this SelectExpression.
Limit	The limit applied to the number of rows in the result set.
NodeType	(Inherited from TableExpressionBase)
Offset	The offset to skip rows from the result set.
Orderings	The list of orderings used to sort the result set.
Predicate	The WHERE predicate for the SELECT.
Projection	The list of expressions being projected out from the result set.
Tables	The list of tables sources used to generate the result set.
Tags	The list of tags applied to this SelectExpression.
Type	(Inherited from TableExpressionBase)

Methods

AddAnnotation(String, Object)	Adds an annotation to this object. Throws if an annotation with the specified name already exists.
AddCrossApply(SelectExpression)	Adds the given SelectExpression to table sources using CROSS APPLY.
AddCrossApply(ShapedQueryExpression, Expression)	Adds the query expression of the given ShapedQueryExpression to table sources using CROSS APPLY and combine shapers.
AddCrossJoin(SelectExpression)	Adds the given SelectExpression to table sources using CROSS JOIN.
AddCrossJoin(ShapedQueryExpression, Expression)	Adds the query expression of the given ShapedQueryExpression to table sources using CROSS JOIN and combine shapers.
AddInnerJoin(SelectExpression, SqlExpression)	Adds the given SelectExpression to table sources using INNER JOIN.
AddInnerJoin(ShapedQueryExpression, SqlExpression, Expression)	Adds the query expression of the given ShapedQueryExpression to table sources using INNER JOIN and combine shapers.
AddLeftJoin(SelectExpression, SqlExpression)	Adds the given SelectExpression to table sources using LEFT JOIN.
AddLeftJoin(ShapedQueryExpression, SqlExpression, Expression)	Adds the query expression of the given ShapedQueryExpression to table sources using LEFT JOIN and combine shapers.
AddOuterApply(SelectExpression)	Adds the given SelectExpression to table sources using OUTER APPLY.
AddOuterApply(ShapedQueryExpression, Expression)	Adds the query expression of the given ShapedQueryExpression to table sources using OUTER APPLY and combine shapers.
AddToProjection(SqlExpression)	Adds given SqlExpression to the projection.
AppendOrdering(OrderingExpression)	Appends ordering to the existing orderings of the SelectExpression.
ApplyDefaultIfEmpty(ISqlExpressionFactory)	Applies DefaultIfEmpty<TSource>(IQueryable<TSource>) on the SelectExpression.
ApplyDistinct()	Applies DISTINCT operator to the projections of the SelectExpression.
ApplyExcept(SelectExpression, Boolean)	Applies EXCEPT operation to the SelectExpression.
ApplyGrouping(Expression)	Applies grouping from given key selector.
ApplyGrouping(Expression, Expression, ISqlExpressionFactory)	Applies grouping from given key selector and generate RelationalGroupByShaperExpression to shape results.
ApplyIntersect(SelectExpression, Boolean)	Applies INTERSECT operation to the SelectExpression.
ApplyLimit(SqlExpression)	Applies limit to the SelectExpression to limit the number of rows returned in the result set.
ApplyOffset(SqlExpression)	Applies offset to the SelectExpression to skip the number of rows in the result set.
ApplyOrdering(OrderingExpression)	Applies ordering to the SelectExpression. This overwrites any previous ordering specified.
ApplyPredicate(SqlExpression)	Applies filter predicate to the SelectExpression.
ApplyProjection()	Adds expressions from projection mapping to projection ignoring the shaper expression. This method should only be used when populating projection in subquery.
ApplyProjection(Expression, ResultCardinality, QuerySplittingBehavior)	Adds expressions from projection mapping to projection and generate updated shaper expression for materialization.
ApplyTags(ISet<String>)	Applies a given set of tags.
ApplyUnion(SelectExpression, Boolean)	Applies UNION operation to the SelectExpression.
AssignUniqueAliases(SqlExpression)	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.
ClearOrdering()	Clears existing orderings.
Clone()	This is an internal API that supports the Entity Framework Core infrastructure and not subject to the same compatibility standards as public APIs. It may be changed or removed without notice in any release. You should only use it directly in your code with extreme caution and knowing that doing so can result in application failures when updating to a new Entity Framework Core release.
CreateColumnExpression(TableExpressionBase, String, Type, RelationalTypeMapping, Nullable<Boolean>)	Creates a ColumnExpression that references a table on this SelectExpression.
