我有一份人们的身份证和名字的名单,还有一份人们的身份证和姓氏的名单。有些人没有名字,有些人没有姓;我想在这两个列表上做一个完整的外部连接。

下面列出:

ID  FirstName
--  ---------
 1  John
 2  Sue

ID  LastName
--  --------
 1  Doe
 3  Smith

应该生产:

ID  FirstName  LastName
--  ---------  --------
 1  John       Doe
 2  Sue
 3             Smith

我已经发现了相当多的解决方案的“LINQ外部连接”,它们看起来都很相似,但似乎真的是离开外部连接。

到目前为止我的尝试是这样的:

private void OuterJoinTest()
{
    List<FirstName> firstNames = new List<FirstName>();
    firstNames.Add(new FirstName { ID = 1, Name = "John" });
    firstNames.Add(new FirstName { ID = 2, Name = "Sue" });

    List<LastName> lastNames = new List<LastName>();
    lastNames.Add(new LastName { ID = 1, Name = "Doe" });
    lastNames.Add(new LastName { ID = 3, Name = "Smith" });

    var outerJoin = from first in firstNames
        join last in lastNames
        on first.ID equals last.ID
        into temp
        from last in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
        select new
        {
            id = first != null ? first.ID : last.ID,
            firstname = first != null ? first.Name : string.Empty,
            surname = last != null ? last.Name : string.Empty
        };
    }
}

public class FirstName
{
    public int ID;
    
    public string Name;
}
    
public class LastName
{
    public int ID;
    
    public string Name;
}

但结果是:

ID  FirstName  LastName
--  ---------  --------
 1  John       Doe
 2  Sue

我做错了什么?


当前回答

我猜@sehe的方法更强大,但在我更好地理解它之前,我发现自己跳过了@MichaelSander的扩展。我修改了它,以匹配这里描述的内置Enumerable.Join()方法的语法和返回类型。我在@JeffMercado的解决方案下为@cadrell0的注释添加了“distinct”后缀。

public static class MyExtensions {

    public static IEnumerable<TResult> FullJoinDistinct<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult> (
        this IEnumerable<TLeft> leftItems, 
        IEnumerable<TRight> rightItems, 
        Func<TLeft, TKey> leftKeySelector, 
        Func<TRight, TKey> rightKeySelector,
        Func<TLeft, TRight, TResult> resultSelector
    ) {

        var leftJoin = 
            from left in leftItems
            join right in rightItems 
              on leftKeySelector(left) equals rightKeySelector(right) into temp
            from right in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
            select resultSelector(left, right);

        var rightJoin = 
            from right in rightItems
            join left in leftItems 
              on rightKeySelector(right) equals leftKeySelector(left) into temp
            from left in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
            select resultSelector(left, right);

        return leftJoin.Union(rightJoin);
    }

}

在这个例子中,你可以这样使用它:

var test = 
    firstNames
    .FullJoinDistinct(
        lastNames,
        f=> f.ID,
        j=> j.ID,
        (f,j)=> new {
            ID = f == null ? j.ID : f.ID, 
            leftName = f == null ? null : f.Name,
            rightName = j == null ? null : j.Name
        }
    );

在未来,随着我了解更多,我有一种感觉,我会迁移到@sehe的逻辑,因为它很受欢迎。但即使这样,我也必须小心,因为我觉得如果可行的话,至少有一个重载与现有的“.Join()”方法的语法匹配是很重要的,原因有两个:

方法的一致性有助于节省时间、避免错误和避免意外行为。 如果将来有一个开箱即用的“. fulljoin()”方法,我想它会尽量保持当前存在的“. join()”方法的语法。如果是这样,那么如果您想迁移到它,您可以简单地重命名函数,而不需要更改参数或担心不同的返回类型破坏您的代码。

对于泛型、扩展、Func语句和其他特性,我还是新手,所以当然欢迎反馈。

编辑:我没花很长时间就意识到我的代码有问题。我在LINQPad中做了一个. dump(),并查看返回类型。它只是IEnumerable,所以我试着匹配它。但是当我实际上在我的扩展上做了. where()或. select()时,我得到了一个错误:“系统集合。IEnumerable'不包含'Select'和…"的定义。因此,最后我能够匹配. join()的输入语法,但不能匹配返回行为。

编辑:将“TResult”添加到函数的返回类型中。在阅读微软的文章时错过了这一点,当然这是有道理的。有了这个修复,现在看来返回行为是符合我的目标毕竟。

其他回答

谢谢大家的有趣帖子!

我修改了代码,因为在我的情况下我需要

个性化的连接谓词 一个个性化的联合,独特的比较

这是我修改过的代码(不好意思,用VB写的)

    Module MyExtensions
        <Extension()>
        Friend Function FullOuterJoin(Of TA, TB, TResult)(ByVal a As IEnumerable(Of TA), ByVal b As IEnumerable(Of TB), ByVal joinPredicate As Func(Of TA, TB, Boolean), ByVal projection As Func(Of TA, TB, TResult), ByVal comparer As IEqualityComparer(Of TResult)) As IEnumerable(Of TResult)
            Dim joinL =
                From xa In a
                From xb In b.Where(Function(x) joinPredicate(xa, x)).DefaultIfEmpty()
                Select projection(xa, xb)
            Dim joinR =
                From xb In b
                From xa In a.Where(Function(x) joinPredicate(x, xb)).DefaultIfEmpty()
                Select projection(xa, xb)
            Return joinL.Union(joinR, comparer)
        End Function
    End Module

    Dim fullOuterJoin = lefts.FullOuterJoin(
        rights,
        Function(left, right) left.Code = right.Code And (left.Amount [...] Or left.Description.Contains [...]),
        Function(left, right) New CompareResult(left, right),
        New MyEqualityComparer
    )

    Public Class MyEqualityComparer
        Implements IEqualityComparer(Of CompareResult)

        Private Function GetMsg(obj As CompareResult) As String
            Dim msg As String = ""
            msg &= obj.Code & "_"
            [...]
            Return msg
        End Function

        Public Overloads Function Equals(x As CompareResult, y As CompareResult) As Boolean Implements IEqualityComparer(Of CompareResult).Equals
            Return Me.GetMsg(x) = Me.GetMsg(y)
        End Function

        Public Overloads Function GetHashCode(obj As CompareResult) As Integer Implements IEqualityComparer(Of CompareResult).GetHashCode
            Return Me.GetMsg(obj).GetHashCode
        End Function
    End Class

更新1:提供一个真正通用的扩展方法FullOuterJoin 更新2:可选地接受键类型的自定义IEqualityComparer 更新3:这个实现最近已经成为MoreLinq的一部分-谢谢大家!

编辑新增FullOuterGroupJoin (ideone)。我重用了GetOuter<>实现,使它的性能比它可能的要低一些,但我现在的目标是“高级”代码,而不是前沿优化。

请登录http://ideone.com/O36nWc观看直播

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var ax = new[] { 
        new { id = 1, name = "John" },
        new { id = 2, name = "Sue" } };
    var bx = new[] { 
        new { id = 1, surname = "Doe" },
        new { id = 3, surname = "Smith" } };

    ax.FullOuterJoin(bx, a => a.id, b => b.id, (a, b, id) => new {a, b})
        .ToList().ForEach(Console.WriteLine);
}

打印输出:

{ a = { id = 1, name = John }, b = { id = 1, surname = Doe } }
{ a = { id = 2, name = Sue }, b =  }
{ a = , b = { id = 3, surname = Smith } }

您还可以提供默认值:http://ideone.com/kG4kqO

    ax.FullOuterJoin(
            bx, a => a.id, b => b.id, 
            (a, b, id) => new { a.name, b.surname },
            new { id = -1, name    = "(no firstname)" },
            new { id = -2, surname = "(no surname)" }
        )

印刷:

{ name = John, surname = Doe }
{ name = Sue, surname = (no surname) }
{ name = (no firstname), surname = Smith }

使用术语的解释:

连接是一个借用自关系数据库设计的术语:

只要b中有对应键的元素,连接就会重复A中的元素(即:如果b为空,则什么都没有)。数据库行话称之为内部连接(equi)。 外部连接包括没有对应的元素 元素存在于b中(即:如果b为空则结果为偶数)。这通常称为左连接。 一个完整的外部连接包括来自A和b的记录,如果另一个中不存在相应的元素。(即,如果a为空,则结果为偶数)

在RDBMS中不常见的是组连接[1]:

组连接与上面描述的相同,但它不是为多个对应的b重复A中的元素,而是用对应的键对记录进行分组。当您希望根据公共键枚举“已连接”记录时,这通常更方便。

另请参阅GroupJoin,其中还包含一些一般的背景说明。

我真的很讨厌这些linq表达式,这就是SQL存在的原因:

select isnull(fn.id, ln.id) as id, fn.firstname, ln.lastname
   from firstnames fn
   full join lastnames ln on ln.id=fn.id

在数据库中创建此sql视图并将其作为实体导入。

当然,(不同的)左连接和右连接的并集也可以做到这一点,但这是愚蠢的。

我认为其中大部分都存在问题,包括公认的答案,因为它们与Linq相比IQueryable工作不太好,要么是由于做了太多的服务器往返和太多的数据返回,要么是做了太多的客户端执行。

对于IEnumerable,我不喜欢Sehe的答案或类似的答案,因为它占用了过多的内存(一个简单的10000000两个列表测试在我的32GB机器上运行Linqpad内存)。

另外,其他大多数方法实际上并没有实现正确的Full Outer Join,因为它们使用的是带有右连接的Union,而不是带有右反半连接的Concat,这不仅消除了结果中重复的内部连接行,而且消除了最初存在于左或右数据中的任何正确的副本。

所以这里是我的扩展,处理所有这些问题,生成SQL以及直接实现LINQ到SQL的连接,在服务器上执行,比其他枚举对象更快,内存更少:

右反半连接(Right Anti-Semi-Join)之间的差异在Linq to Objects或源代码中大多是没有意义的,但在最终的答案中,在服务器(SQL)端产生了差异,删除了一个不必要的连接。

手动编码Expression来处理将Expression<Func<>>合并到lambda中,可以使用LinqKit进行改进,但如果语言/编译器为此添加了一些帮助,那就更好了。为了完整起见,包括了fullouterjo模糊不清和RightOuterJoin函数,但我还没有重新实现FullOuterGroupJoin。

我为IEnumerable编写了另一个完整的外部连接版本,用于键是可排序的情况,这比组合左外部连接和右反半连接快50%左右,至少在小型集合上是这样。它只对每个集合进行一次排序。

我还为使用EF的版本添加了另一个答案,即用自定义展开替换Invoke。

我认为LINQ join子句并不是这个问题的正确解决方案,因为join子句的目的并不是按照这个任务解决方案所需的方式来积累数据。合并创建的独立集合的代码变得太复杂了,也许这对于学习目的来说是可以的,但对于真正的应用程序来说不是。解决这个问题的方法之一是下面的代码:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<FirstName> firstNames = new List<FirstName>();
        firstNames.Add(new FirstName { ID = 1, Name = "John" });
        firstNames.Add(new FirstName { ID = 2, Name = "Sue" });

        List<LastName> lastNames = new List<LastName>();
        lastNames.Add(new LastName { ID = 1, Name = "Doe" });
        lastNames.Add(new LastName { ID = 3, Name = "Smith" });

        HashSet<int> ids = new HashSet<int>();
        foreach (var name in firstNames)
        {
            ids.Add(name.ID);
        }
        foreach (var name in lastNames)
        {
            ids.Add(name.ID);
        }
        List<FullName> fullNames = new List<FullName>();
        foreach (int id in ids)
        {
            FullName fullName = new FullName();
            fullName.ID = id;
            FirstName firstName = firstNames.Find(f => f.ID == id);
            fullName.FirstName = firstName != null ? firstName.Name : string.Empty;
            LastName lastName = lastNames.Find(l => l.ID == id);
            fullName.LastName = lastName != null ? lastName.Name : string.Empty;
            fullNames.Add(fullName);
        }
    }
}
public class FirstName
{
    public int ID;

    public string Name;
}

public class LastName
{
    public int ID;

    public string Name;
}
class FullName
{
    public int ID;

    public string FirstName;

    public string LastName;
}

如果真正的集合对于HashSet的形成很大,而不是foreach循环可以使用下面的代码:

List<int> firstIds = firstNames.Select(f => f.ID).ToList();
List<int> LastIds = lastNames.Select(l => l.ID).ToList();
HashSet<int> ids = new HashSet<int>(firstIds.Union(LastIds));//Only unique IDs will be included in HashSet
