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

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。

其他回答

下面是一个扩展方法:

public static IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TLeft, TRight>> FullOuterJoin<TLeft, TRight>(this IEnumerable<TLeft> leftItems, Func<TLeft, object> leftIdSelector, IEnumerable<TRight> rightItems, Func<TRight, object> rightIdSelector)
{
    var leftOuterJoin = from left in leftItems
        join right in rightItems on leftIdSelector(left) equals rightIdSelector(right) into temp
        from right in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
        select new { left, right };

    var rightOuterJoin = from right in rightItems
        join left in leftItems on rightIdSelector(right) equals leftIdSelector(left) into temp
        from left in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
        select new { left, right };

    var fullOuterJoin = leftOuterJoin.Union(rightOuterJoin);

    return fullOuterJoin.Select(x => new KeyValuePair<TLeft, TRight>(x.left, x.right));
}

我不知道这是否适用于所有情况,但从逻辑上讲,这似乎是正确的。其思想是取一个左外连接和一个右外连接,然后取结果的并集。

var firstNames = new[]
{
    new { ID = 1, Name = "John" },
    new { ID = 2, Name = "Sue" },
};
var lastNames = new[]
{
    new { ID = 1, Name = "Doe" },
    new { ID = 3, Name = "Smith" },
};
var leftOuterJoin =
    from first in firstNames
    join last in lastNames on first.ID equals last.ID into temp
    from last in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
    select new
    {
        first.ID,
        FirstName = first.Name,
        LastName = last?.Name,
    };
var rightOuterJoin =
    from last in lastNames
    join first in firstNames on last.ID equals first.ID into temp
    from first in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
    select new
    {
        last.ID,
        FirstName = first?.Name,
        LastName = last.Name,
    };
var fullOuterJoin = leftOuterJoin.Union(rightOuterJoin);

这就像写的一样,因为它是在LINQ to Objects中。如果LINQ to SQL或其他,查询处理器可能不支持安全导航或其他操作。你必须使用条件操作符有条件地获取值。

也就是说,

var leftOuterJoin =
    from first in firstNames
    join last in lastNames on first.ID equals last.ID into temp
    from last in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
    select new
    {
        first.ID,
        FirstName = first.Name,
        LastName = last != null ? last.Name : default,
    };

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。

我喜欢她的回答,但它没有使用延迟执行(输入序列被调用ToLookup急切地枚举)。因此,在查看了LINQ-to-objects的.NET源代码后,我想到了这个:

public static class LinqExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable<TResult> FullOuterJoin<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult>(
        this IEnumerable<TLeft> left,
        IEnumerable<TRight> right,
        Func<TLeft, TKey> leftKeySelector,
        Func<TRight, TKey> rightKeySelector,
        Func<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult> resultSelector,
        IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparator = null,
        TLeft defaultLeft = default(TLeft),
        TRight defaultRight = default(TRight))
    {
        if (left == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("left");
        if (right == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("right");
        if (leftKeySelector == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("leftKeySelector");
        if (rightKeySelector == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("rightKeySelector");
        if (resultSelector == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("resultSelector");

        comparator = comparator ?? EqualityComparer<TKey>.Default;
        return FullOuterJoinIterator(left, right, leftKeySelector, rightKeySelector, resultSelector, comparator, defaultLeft, defaultRight);
    }

    internal static IEnumerable<TResult> FullOuterJoinIterator<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult>(
        this IEnumerable<TLeft> left,
        IEnumerable<TRight> right,
        Func<TLeft, TKey> leftKeySelector,
        Func<TRight, TKey> rightKeySelector,
        Func<TLeft, TRight, TKey, TResult> resultSelector,
        IEqualityComparer<TKey> comparator,
        TLeft defaultLeft,
        TRight defaultRight)
    {
        var leftLookup = left.ToLookup(leftKeySelector, comparator);
        var rightLookup = right.ToLookup(rightKeySelector, comparator);
        var keys = leftLookup.Select(g => g.Key).Union(rightLookup.Select(g => g.Key), comparator);

        foreach (var key in keys)
            foreach (var leftValue in leftLookup[key].DefaultIfEmpty(defaultLeft))
                foreach (var rightValue in rightLookup[key].DefaultIfEmpty(defaultRight))
                    yield return resultSelector(leftValue, rightValue, key);
    }
}

该实现具有以下重要属性:

延迟执行,在枚举输出序列之前不会枚举输入序列。 每个输入序列只枚举一次。 保留输入序列的顺序,在某种意义上,它将以左序列和右序列的顺序生成元组(对于不在左序列中出现的键)。

这些属性很重要,因为它们是那些刚接触FullOuterJoin但有LINQ经验的人所期望的。

在两个输入上执行内存流枚举,并为每一行调用选择器。如果在当前迭代中没有相关性,则选择器参数之一将为空。

例子:

   var result = left.FullOuterJoin(
         right, 
         x=>left.Key, 
         x=>right.Key, 
         (l,r) => new { LeftKey = l?.Key, RightKey=r?.Key });
