Oracle egger loading EF 4.1 Code First with Table-per-type

Post by jared » Thu 13 Oct 2011 22:17

I have come across an issue when egger loading multiple collection properties and the collection type has inherited classes.

Let me illustrate, given the root class:

Code: Select all

    public class RootItem
    {
        [Key]
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        public int Id { get; set; }

        public List ChildItems1 { get; set; }
        public List ChildItems2 { get; set; }
    }
With child classes:

Code: Select all

    [Table("ChildItem1")]
    public class ChildItem1
    {
        [Key]
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        public int Id { get; set; }
    }
And:

Code: Select all

    public class ChildItem2
    {
        [Key]
        [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
        public int Id { get; set; }
    }
And with inherited class:

Code: Select all

    [Table("InheritedChild1")]
    public class InheritedChild1 : ChildItem1
    {
        [MaxLength(10)]
        public string TheColumnThatCausesErrors { get; set; }
    }
With Context:

Code: Select all

    public class MyDbContext : DbContext
    {

        protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        {
            modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove();

            modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove();
        }

        public DbSet RootItems { get; set; }
        public DbSet ChildItems1 { get; set; }
        public DbSet ChildItems2 { get; set; }

    }
Then if you run the following command:

Code: Select all

    using (MyDbContext context = new MyDbContext())
    {
        var query = (from p in
                            context.RootItems
                                .Include(r => r.ChildItems1)
                                .Include(r => r.ChildItems2)
                        select p).ToList();

    }
You will get a "ORA-12704: character set mismatch" error.

The following query is sent to the database:

Code: Select all

SELECT 
"UnionAll1"."Id" AS C1, 
"UnionAll1"."Id1" AS C2, 
"UnionAll1".C1 AS C3, 
"UnionAll1"."Id2" AS C4, 
"UnionAll1".C2 AS C5, 
"UnionAll1"."Id3" AS C6, 
"UnionAll1".C3 AS C7, 
"UnionAll1"."RootItem_Id" AS C8, 
"UnionAll1".C4 AS C9, 
"UnionAll1".C5 AS C10,

	CASE WHEN "Join1"."Id1" IS NULL THEN TO_NUMBER(NULL) ELSE 1 END AS C1, 
	"Extent1"."Id" AS "Id", 
	"Extent1"."Id" AS "Id1", 
	"Join1"."Id1" AS "Id2", 
	CASE WHEN "Join1"."Id1" IS NULL THEN TO_CHAR(NULL) WHEN  NOT (("Join1".C1 = 1) AND ("Join1".C1 IS NOT NULL)) THEN '2X' ELSE '2X0X' END AS C2, 
	"Join1"."Id1" AS "Id3", 
	CASE WHEN "Join1"."Id1" IS NULL THEN TO_CHAR(NULL) WHEN  NOT (("Join1".C1 = 1) AND ("Join1".C1 IS NOT NULL)) THEN TO_CHAR(NULL) ELSE "Join1"."TheColumnThatCausesErrors" END AS C3, 
	"Join1"."RootItem_Id" AS "RootItem_Id", 
	TO_NUMBER(NULL) AS C4, 
	TO_NUMBER(NULL) AS C5, 
	TO_NUMBER(NULL) AS C6
	FROM  "RootItems" "Extent1"
	LEFT OUTER JOIN  (SELECT 
		"Extent2"."Id" AS "Id1", 
		"Extent2"."RootItem_Id" AS "RootItem_Id", 
		"Project1"."Id" AS "Id2", 
		"Project1"."TheColumnThatCausesErrors" AS "TheColumnThatCausesErrors", 
		"Project1".C1 AS C1
		FROM  "ChildItem1" "Extent2"
		LEFT OUTER JOIN  (SELECT 
			"Extent3"."Id" AS "Id", 
			"Extent3"."TheColumnThatCausesErrors" AS "TheColumnThatCausesErrors", 
			1 AS C1
			FROM "InheritedChild1" "Extent3" ) "Project1" ON "Extent2"."Id" = "Project1"."Id" ) "Join1" ON "Extent1"."Id" = "Join1"."RootItem_Id"
UNION ALL
	SELECT 
	2 AS C1, 
	"Extent4"."RootItem_Id" AS "RootItem_Id", 
	"Extent4"."RootItem_Id" AS "RootItem_Id1", 
	TO_NUMBER(NULL) AS C2, 
	TO_CHAR(NULL) AS C3, 
	TO_NUMBER(NULL) AS C4, 
	TO_NCHAR(NULL) AS C5, 
	TO_NUMBER(NULL) AS C6, 
	"Extent4"."Id" AS "Id", 
	"Extent4"."Id" AS "Id1", 
	"Extent4"."RootItem_Id" AS "RootItem_Id2"
	FROM "ChildItem2" "Extent4"
	WHERE "Extent4"."RootItem_Id" IS NOT NULL) "UnionAll1"
ORDER BY "UnionAll1"."Id1" ASC, "UnionAll1".C1 ASC

Please tell us the exact version (x.xx.xxx) of dotConnect for Oracle you have generated your model with. Tell us the version of your current build. Does it work with the workaround that is mentioned at http://www.devart.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22137? If not, please send us a small test project with the corresponding DDL/DML script to reproduce the issue in our environment.

I am using version 6.50.228.0, and with the simple model that I have described here, calling modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove() does resolve the issue, but with the much more complex model that I am programming, it still does not fully resolve the issue, and calling this causes other issues, like strings with no MaxLength are created as VARCHAR2 and not CLOB. I will wait for the new version, and test my more complex model, and if I still have issues I will send it to you.

I have now tested with dotConnect for Oracle 6.50.237, and I still get the error with the following code:

Code: Select all

[Table("ChildItem1")]
public abstract class Child1

        config.DatabaseScript.Schema.DeleteDatabaseBehaviour = DeleteDatabaseBehaviour.ModelObjectsOnly;

        System.Data.Entity.Database.SetInitializer(new DropCreateDatabaseAlways());

        using (MyDbContext context = new MyDbContext())
        {

The bug with character set mismatch when UNION is used for CASEs is fixed. We will post here when the corresponding build of dotConnect for Oracle is available for download.
