Querying Northwind with Group By bug fixed

In this post:

https://blogs.msdn.com/calvin_hsia/archive/2007/08/17/install-northwind-for-sql-express-and-use-visual-studio-and-dlinq-to-query-it.aspx

I mentioned how a bug with Group By and composite keys made more local calculations. Using the AsEnumerable operator caused the query to execute locally.

I now have a build of Visual Studio that has the bug fixed and I modified the query to remove the AsEnumerable().

The performance is very quick, as it’s all executed on the back end, as seen by this log:

SELECT [t7].[CustomerID], [t7].[CompanyName], [t7].[value] AS [CustTotal], [t7].[value2] AS [PctTotal]

FROM (

    SELECT SUM([t6].[value2]) AS [value], SUM([t6].[value]) AS [value2], [t6].[CustomerID], [t6].[CompanyName]

    FROM (

        SELECT (@p1 * (CONVERT(Real,(CONVERT(Decimal(29,4),CONVERT(Int,[t3].[Quantity]))) * [t3].[UnitPrice])) * (@p2 - [t3].[Discount])) / ((

            SELECT SUM([t5].[value])

            FROM (

                SELECT (CONVERT(Real,(CONVERT(Decimal(29,4),CONVERT(Int,[t4].[Quantity]))) * [t4].[UnitPrice])) * (@p3 - [t4].[Discount]) AS [value]

                FROM [dbo].[Order Details] AS [t4]

                ) AS [t5]

            )) AS [value], [t3].[CustomerID], [t3].[CompanyName], [t3].[value] AS [value2]

        FROM (

     SELECT (CONVERT(Real,(CONVERT(Decimal(29,4),CONVERT(Int,[t2].[Quantity]))) * [t2].[UnitPrice])) * (@p0 - [t2].[Discount]) AS [value], [t2].[Quantity], [t2].[UnitPrice], [t2].[Discount], [t0].[CustomerID], [t0].[CompanyName]

            FROM [dbo].[Customers] AS [t0]

            INNER JOIN [dbo].[Orders] AS [t1] ON [t0].[CustomerID] = [t1].[CustomerID]

            INNER JOIN [dbo].[Order Details] AS [t2] ON [t1].[OrderID] = [t2].[OrderID]

            ) AS [t3]

        ) AS [t6]

    GROUP BY [t6].[CustomerID], [t6].[CompanyName]

    ) AS [t7]

ORDER BY [t7].[value2] DESC, [t7].[CustomerID]
