Is the calling of an SP in Ef Core always bound to the return of an entity?
I want to call a Sp that make only "dirty job" (eg. a series of TRUNCATE)
Should I return at the end a "fake" select * from MyEntity only to call
context.MyEntity.FromSqlRaw(sql);
Thanks
You could execute raw sql on the database context.
await _context.Database.ExecuteSqlRawAsync("EXEC dbo.YourStoredProcedure");

We are parsing the SaveBundle on the server and returning a custom SaveResult. We want to be able to notify the client of additional changed entities as a result of processing the SaveBundle.
For example we have a SaveBundle from the client containing 1 entity to be deleted which when we parse and process on the server we actually delete 2 entities.
As far as we can tell the SaveResult does not contain any properties that would allow us to indicate an entity was 'deleted', rather than say 'modified'.
Is there a way to return additional entity changes through the SaveResult? Or is the only solution to refresh the data by resubmitting a Breeze query client side after the save changes?
I 'think' that if you return the deleted entities with their foreign keys set to null or empty (in the case of non-nullable guids etc.) in the SaveResult then Breeze client-side will detect this and mark them as deleted
I couldn't find anything explicitly in the documentation or the source about this though
here is your answer:
var result = context.SaveChanges(saveBundle);
//create your own EntityInfo object and fill it with the the entity and it's state
var entityInfo = new EntityInfo();
//...
//add it to the result
result.Entities.Add(entityInfo);
//return the result
return result;
Breeze client will then treat that entity like any other entity returned from you normal save proc.
Hope this helps
I'm a newby to breeze and wonder if it is possible to run local queries against entities that have been fetched using a REST service like in Edmunds sample.
Is it possible to execute local queries using breeze EntityManager after reading the entities from a remote REST service?
I tried to extend Edmunds sample app with a local query that will be called after all Makes have been loaded:
var query = breeze.EntityQuery
.from("Make:#Edmunds")
.where("niceName", "startsWith", "A")
return manager.executeQueryLocally(query).then(returnResults);
When I execute the query I get the following Exception:
"Cannot find an entityType for resourceName: 'Make:#Edmunds'.
Consider adding an 'EntityQuery.toType' call to your query or calling
the MetadataStore.setEntityTypeForResourceName method to register an
entityType for this resourceName."
What is wrong or missing here? How could I make the local query run?
Breeze is interpretting your query .from() parameter as a resource instead of as a type. (which you appear to be trying to set)
To let Breeze know which type of entity you are trying to query, simply do as it suggest - chain a toType call onto your query -
var query = breeze.EntityQuery .from("Make:#Edmunds").where("niceName", "startsWith", "A").toType('Make')
return manager.executeQueryLocally(query).then(returnResults);
I am using EF code first model to get the data from data base table in which i have 400,000 records.
But when i use the LINQ query something like:
var urer = context.UserEntity.Where(c => c.FirstName.Contains('s'));
The above statement gives me all the user to whose first name contains 's'. But since this is a huge data base table, it is giving me the following error:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
Please suggest me the best way to do it. I am assigning this data to gridview. I am thinking to get the first 500 each time. Is there any way to do it from EF side, so that i won't need to do it in sql.
Thanks
1.add index on your column
2. increase timeout connection
You can create Store procedure
USE LINQ call Store procedure

I am accessing my database through ADO.NET Entity framework in MVC 3 Application.
I am updating my database through Stored Procedure.
But the changes are not reflected at run time.I mean to say i am able to see the changes only after restarting it.
What is the reason for the problem and How can i avoid it ?
I am using Repository pattern So at repository My code look like this
Ther Is One Function Which Save Changes
public void SaveNewAnswer(AnswerViewModel answer,string user)
{
SurveyAdminDBEntities _entities = new SurveyAdminDBEntities();
_entities.usp_SaveNewAnswer(answer.QuestionId, answer.AnswerName, answer.AnswerText, answer.AnswerOrder, answer.Status, user);
_entities.SaveChanges();
}
Data Retreival Code
public IEnumerableGetMultipleChoiceQuestions(string questionId)
{
SurveyAdminDBEntities _entities = new SurveyAdminDBEntities();
_entities.AcceptAllChanges();
_entities.SaveChanges();
return _entities.usp_GetMultipleChoiceQuestions(Int32.Parse(questionId));
}
But Changes are not reflected till the time i don't clode the session of the browser and run it again .
Please help !
Thank You In advance
Are you calling context.SaveChanges() on your Entities (DbContext/ObjectContext) object? Are you using a transaction that you haven't committed?
If you have an uncommitted transaction in your sproc, you can try creating your own entity transaction and seeing if committing your transaction will commit the nested transaction as well. The problem is that calling SaveChanges() automatically begins and commits a transaction, so this may not be any different than that.
I would also call _entities.AcceptAllChanges() in your save operation.
public void SaveNewAnswer(AnswerViewModel answer,string user)
{
SurveyAdminDBEntities _entities = new SurveyAdminDBEntities();
_entities.Connection.Open();
System.Data.Common.DbTransaction tran = _entities.Connection.BeginTransaction();
try
{
_entities.usp_SaveNewAnswer(answer.QuestionId, answer.AnswerName, answer.AnswerText, answer.AnswerOrder, answer.Status, user);
_entities.SaveChanges(); // automatically uses the open transaction instead of a new one
tran.Commit();
}
catch
{
tran.Rollback();
}
finally
{
if (_entities.Connection.State == System.Data.ConnectionState.Open)
_entities.Connection.Close();
_entities.AcceptAllChanges();
}
}
Is your stored procedure doing an explicit commit? Things run in a database session will be available for that session, but not available to any other session until the action is committed.
When you pull data out of your database into your context that data is kept in memory, separate from the actual database itself.
You will see the changes if you create a new context object instance and load the data from the database with it.
It's good practice to not use the same instance of your context object but create them on an as needed basis for individual transactions with the database. In your case if you're updating via function imports instead of the context.SaveChanges() method then you need to refresh your context with the updated data after you commit those changes.
Add this to your connect string (assuming sql 2005)
transaction binding=Explicit Unbind;
if the data is no longer available after session reset, then the problem is indeed with a transaction, if the data is then available after reset, then your problem is something different and we'll likely need more details.
I want to include a table (Events) from another database in my LINQ to SQL class.
How should I format the Data Source of that table?
I have tried with IP.dbo.Events, IP.DatabaseName.dbo.Events and so on, but can not get it to work.
The reason for all this is to select Events that a Client have attended.
I have also tried to have the table in another LINQ to SQL class, but then it complains on the Data Context.
public static IQueryable<Event> ByClientID(this IQueryable<Event> events, int clientID)
{
events = from e in events
from c in new MyDataContext().ClientCourses
where e.EventID == c.CourseID &&
c.ClientID == clientID
select e;
return events;
}
You can only use tables that reside on the same physical SQL Server in two different instances. I did this once as someone had "cleverly" put an application's DB across two database instances.
There is a blog post on it here that may help.
Could you create a view that returns the data from the 2nd database and use this instead? (Not tried this so absolutely no idea if it'll work :)
Obviously this is no good if you need to be saving to the other database too..
