实体框架，高效的NavigationProperty.OfType查询

我在使用每表类型 (TPT) 继承在 EF4 中构造有效查询时遇到问题。

我有一个名为Episode，并且每个情节可以有多个事件。有几种不同类型的事件都源自称为Event。我想过滤不包含特定类型事件的所有剧集。Episode有一个导航属性，它是其所有事件的集合（即基本事件的集合）Event type)

我试过了：

from episode in context.EpisodeSet
where episode.Events.OfType<DerivedEvent>().Count() == 0
select episode

and

from episode in context.EpisodeSet
where episode.Events.Where(p => p is DerivedEvent).Count() == 0
select episode

这两者都会产生典型的长 SQL 扩展，查询每个Event类型表。

难道不应该有一种方法在 LINQ 中表达这个查询，只涉及Episode和派生事件结果 SQL 中的表？

Edit:作为对 ProfessorX 的回应，这里是生成的 SQL（基本上只是所有事件表的典型大规模联合）

)

经过一番绞尽脑汁后，我设法让它发挥作用：

var episodes = (from episode in context.EpisodeSet
                join e in context.EventSet.OfType<DerivedEvent>() on episode.Id equals e.EpisodeId into outer
                from o in outer.DefaultIfEmpty()
                where o == null
                select episode)

因此，我不必尝试将 OfType 过滤器应用于导航属性，而必须将其应用于 ObjectSet 并执行外部联接。似乎 OfType 和“as”类型过滤不适用于导航属性。

这会生成在 DerivedEvent 表中没有相应事件的剧集，并且使用您手动编写的 SQL 类型。

LINQ 遵循您自然使用 SQL 编写查询的方式。人们很容易被所有这些导航属性所诱惑，这些属性导致 LINQ 看起来很漂亮，但 SQL 看起来很糟糕。
