《Entity Framework 6 Recipes》中文翻译系列 (24) ------ 第五章 加载实体和导航属性之查询内存对象

翻译的初衷以及为什么选择《Entity Framework 6 Recipes》来学习,请看本系列开篇

5-4  查询内存对象

问题

  你想使用模型中的实体对象,如果他们已经加载到上下文中,便不用与数据库发生交互。另外,你想使用Code-First来管理数据访问。

解决方案

  假设你有如图5-12所示的模型。

图5-12 一个包含Club实体对象的简单模型

 

  在Visual Studio中添加一个名为Recipe4的控制台应用,并确保引用了实体框架6的库,NuGet可以很好的完成这个任务。在Reference目录上右键,并选择 Manage NeGet Packages(管理NeGet包),在Online页,定位并安装实体框架6的包。这样操作后,NeGet将下载,安装和配置实体框架6的库到你的项目中。

  创建一个名为Club类,复制代码清单5-8中的属性到这个类中,创建club实体。 

代码清单5-8. Club实体类

1 public class Club
2     {
3         public int ClubId { get; set; }
4         public string Name { get; set; }
5         public string City { get; set; }
6     }

   

   接下来,创建一个名为Recipe4Context的类,并将代码清单5-9中的代码添加到其中,并确保其派生到DbContext类。

代码清单5-9. 上下文对象Recipe4Contex

复制代码
 1  public class Recipe4Context : DbContext
 2     {
 3         public Recipe4Context()
 4             : base("Recipe4ConnectionString")
 5         {
 6             // 禁用实体框架的模型兼容性
 7             Database.SetInitializer<Recipe3Context>(null);
 8         }
 9 
10         protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
11         {
12              modelBuilder.Entity<Club>().ToTable("Chapter5.Club");
13         }
14 
15         public DbSet<Club> Clubs { get; set; }
16     }
复制代码

 

  接下来添加App.Config文件到项目中,并使用代码清单5-10中的代码添加到文件的ConnectionStrings小节下。

代码清单5-10. 连接字符串

复制代码
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Recipe4ConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=.;
Initial Catalog=EFRecipes;
Integrated Security=True;
MultipleActiveResultSets=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
复制代码

 

   在这个模型中,我们有一个实体类型Club,你可以通过查询获取各种各样的俱乐部(Clubs). 我们可以通过查询DbSet的属性Local来减少与数据库的交互。它是对Club实体的包装。属性Local 公布了一个内存实体对象的动态集合(Observable Collection),与上下文对象保持同步。代码清单5-11演示了Local动态集合的用法。

代码清单5-11. DbSet对象中Local 属性的一般用法

 1        int desertSunId;
 2 
 3             using (var context = new Recipe4Context())
 4             {
 5                 var starCity = new Club {Name = "Star City Chess Club", City = "New York"};
 6                 var desertSun = new Club {Name = "Desert Sun Chess Club", City = "Phoenix"};
 7                 var palmTree = new Club {Name = "Palm Tree Chess Club", City = "San Diego"};
 8 
 9                 context.Clubs.Add(starCity);
10                 context.Clubs.Add(desertSun);
11                 context.Clubs.Add(palmTree);
12 
13                 context.SaveChanges();
14 
15                 desertSunId = desertSun.ClubId;
16             }
17 
18             using (var context = new Recipe4Context())
19             {

原理

   这个示例使用Club实体对象。开始,我们从Local属性公布的动态集合中获取Club实体对象的数量。注意,图5-13没有SQL查询产生,因为一个对Local属性的查询,是不会产生针对数据库的SQL查询的。

图5-13 访问Local动态集合,不会产生一个SQL查询

   现在,结果为0,因为我们还没有通过上下文对象执行一个关于Clubs的查询。记住,Local动态集合会自动地与上下文对象保持同步。

  接下来,我们通过上下文对象在数据库中查询前面两个Club实体。并循环输出他们的名称和地点。如图5-14所示。

图5-14 查询上下文对象,总是产生一个SQL查询

 

   随后,我们立即循环相应的Local集合,得到了相同的结果。记住,结果集完全一样,因为Local集合自动与DbContext保持同步。如果新的实体被获取到上下文,通过这些实体,Loacal集合会被自动更新。注意,图5-15中,当访问Local集合时,没有SQL查询生成。

图5-15 访问 local集合,没有生成SQL语句

 

   为了进一步演示Local属性的默认行为,我们通过上下文查询获取第三个Club实体,我们又一次循环上下文对象和Local集合,同样得到了相同的结果。图5-16中,通过查询上下文对象的查询产生了一个SQL语句,图5-17中,能通查询Local集合的查询,没有产生任何SQL语句。

图5-16 查询上下文对象,总是产生一个SQL查询

 

图5-17  访问 local集合,没有生成SQL语句

   接下来,我们添加一个名为 Lonesone Pine Club实体到Local集合中,同时,我们从Local集合中删除Desert Sun Club. 然后我们枚举上下文对象中的Clubs,正如期望的那样,一个SQL查询产生了,如图5-18所示。

图5-18 查询上下文对象,总是产生一个SQL查询

   有趣的是,我们看到,在上下文中Desert Sun Club已经被标记为删除,但我们没有看到最新添加的Lonesome Pine Club对象。记住,Lonesome Pine Club已经被添加到上下文中,但我们还没有调用SaveChanges()方法更新到底层据库中

  然而,当我们枚举Local集合时,没有产生针对底层数据库的查询,如图5-19所示。相反,我们看到了最新添加的Lonesome Pine Club对象,但我们不再看到标记为删除的Desert Sun Club对象。 Loacl集合的默认行为是,隐藏任何标记为删除的对象,因为这些对象不于有效

图5-19  访问 local集合,没有生成SQL语句

  

  本质:访问Local集合不会产生针对底层数据库的SQL查询,访问上下中的属性集合总是会产生一个被发送到数据库中的SQL是查询

  总之,名为Local的属性公布的实体集,是一个动态的集合(Observale Collection)(译注:也有人译为,可观察的集合,但综合该对象的作用和功能来看,个人认为译为动态集合更恰当一些),它是上下文内容的一个镜像。正如本小节演示的那样,查询Local集合非常有效,因为它不会产生针对底层数据库的SQL查询。
