NHibernate, LINQ, Oracle and the placement of Take: avoid “Specified method is not supported.”
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/22
Even though as of 12c R1, Oracle supports a row limiting clause, NHibernate 4.2 with Oracle.DataAccess.dll 2.112.3.0 does not support that.
When you let it generate the SQL for a LINQ Take call to limit the number of results, you get an exception like this (full exception and stack trace are below):
System.NotSupportedException was unhandled by user code HResult=-2146233067 Message=Specified method is not supported.
The place where you Take is important, as this does fail:
public ResultType[] SelectByFilter(int? foreignKey,
DateTime? startDateTime,
DateTime? endDateTime)
{
if (!((foreignKey.HasValue) || (startDateTime.HasValue) || (endDateTime.HasValue)))
throw new ArgumentException("At least one of foreignKey, startDateTime or endDateTime must have a value");
IQueryable entities = this.repository.GetEntities();
if (foreignKey.HasValue)
entities = entities.Where(e => e.foreignKey == foreignKey.Value);
if (startDateTime.HasValue)
entities = entities.Where(e => e.CreationDateTime >= startDateTime.Value);
if (endDateTime.HasValue)
entities = entities.Where(e => e.CreationDateTime <= endDateTime.Value);
entities = entities.Take(MaxSelectByFilterCount); // cause of the exception
IQueryable resultTypes = entities.Select(
e =>
new ResultType
{
ResultTypeId = e.ResultTypeEntityId,
ForeignKey = e.ForeignKey,
CreationDateTime = e.CreationDateTime,
CreationUserId = e.CreationUserId,
UpdateUserId = e.UpdateUserId
});
return resultTypes.ToArray(); // line at which the Exception is fired
}
But this succeeds:
public ResultType[] SelectByFilter(int? foreignKey,
DateTime? startDateTime,
DateTime? endDateTime)
{
if (!((foreignKey.HasValue) || (startDateTime.HasValue) || (endDateTime.HasValue)))
throw new ArgumentException("At least one of foreignKey, startDateTime or endDateTime must have a value");
IQueryable entities = this.repository.GetEntities();
if (foreignKey.HasValue)
entities = entities.Where(e => e.foreignKey == foreignKey.Value);
if (startDateTime.HasValue)
entities = entities.Where(e => e.CreationDateTime >= startDateTime.Value);
if (endDateTime.HasValue)
entities = entities.Where(e => e.CreationDateTime <= endDateTime.Value);
IQueryable resultTypes = entities.Select(
e =>
new ResultType
{
ResultTypeId = e.ResultTypeEntityId,
ForeignKey = e.ForeignKey,
CreationDateTime = e.CreationDateTime,
CreationUserId = e.CreationUserId,
UpdateUserId = e.UpdateUserId
});
resultTypes = resultTypes.Take(MaxSelectByFilterCount); // put Take here to let LINQ bypass NHibernate
return resultTypes.ToArray(); // line at which the Exception is fired
}
The workaround generates an Oracle query that is not limit the result set, but LINQ only fetches MaxSelectByFilterCount entries (in my case 10k). Not as optimal as it could be, but good enough.
