IQueryable to SQL

I needed a quick way to convert simple LINQ queries to SQL for testing execution plans, Someone (Thank you Yaniv Lorencez!) suggested using ToTraceString, but it doesn't provide a query you can execute and doesn't show the parameters, so first I've added the parameters but its useless for executing on SQL.


/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the sql text command + simple representation of values
/// </summary>
public static string ToTraceString<T>(this IQueryable<T> query)
{
    if (query != null)
    {
        ObjectQuery<T> objectQuery = query as ObjectQuery<T>;

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        sb.Append(objectQuery.ToTraceString());
        foreach (var p in objectQuery.Parameters)
            sb.AppendFormat("\r\n{0} ({2}): {1}", p.Name, p.Value, p.ParameterType);
        return sb.ToString();
    }
    return "No Trace string to return";
}


So, I've added a bit of code and we now have something that generates a valid sp_executesql:


/// <summary>
/// Retrieves SQL text command in sp_executesql ready for execution.
/// </summary>
public static string ToSqlString<T>(this IQueryable<T> query)
{
    if (query == null)
        return string.Empty;

    //get query
    ObjectQuery<T> objectQuery = query as ObjectQuery<T>;
    var sqlquery = objectQuery.ToTraceString();


    //if there are parameters, first add parameter types, then the parameter values.
    if (objectQuery.Parameters.Count() > 0)
    {
        //create a list of parameters with sql type
        StringBuilder retval = new StringBuilder();

        retval.Append("sp_executesql ");
        retval.AppendFormat("@statement = N'{0}'", sqlquery);

        //create sql parameter for each parameter
        List<string> parameters = new List<string>();
        List<string> values = new List<string>();
        foreach (var p in objectQuery.Parameters)
        {
            //get sqldbtype
            parameters.Add(string.Format("@{0} {1}", p.Name, GetDbType(p.Value)));
            //get sql values for each parameter
            values.Add(string.Format("@{0} = {1}", p.Name, GetDbValue(p.Value))); 
        }

        retval.AppendFormat(", @parameters = N'{0}'", string.Join(", ", parameters.ToArray()));
        retval.Append(", ");
        retval.Append(string.Join(", ", values.ToArray()));

        return retval.ToString();
    }
    else
    {
        return sqlquery;
    }
}

/// <summary>
/// Retrieve sql type from object value
/// </summary>
private static string GetDbType(object value)
{
    var p1 = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter();
    p1.Value = value;

    if (p1.SqlDbType == SqlDbType.NVarChar)
        return "nvarchar(max)";
    if ((p1.SqlDbType == SqlDbType.Binary) || (p1.SqlDbType == SqlDbType.VarBinary))
        return "varbinary(max)";

    return p1.SqlDbType.ToString().ToLower();
}

/// <summary>
/// Retrieve escaped sql value
/// </summary>
private static string GetDbValue(object obj)
{
    if (obj == null)
        return "null";

    if (obj is string)
        return "'" + obj.ToString().Replace("'", "''") + "'";

    if (obj is Guid)
        return "'" + obj.ToString() + "'";

    if (obj is DateTime)
        return "N'" + ((DateTime)obj).ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ff") + "'";

    if (obj is bool)
        return (((bool)obj) == true) ? "1" : "0";

    if (obj is byte[])
        return "0x" + BitConverter.ToString((byte[])obj).Replace("-", "") + "";

    if (obj is int)
        return ((int)obj).ToString();

    if (obj is decimal)
        return ((decimal)obj).ToString();

    if (obj is long)
        return ((long)obj).ToString();

    if (obj is double)
        return ((double)obj).ToString();

    if (obj is Single)
        return ((Single)obj).ToString();

    throw new NotImplementedException(obj.GetType().Name + " not implemented");
}

  1. This is great! Very similar to what I had started. I just added a bit more so it spit out straight SQL if there are no parameters because that is what the native call looks like:

    if (parameters.Count > 0)
    {
    // Call will need sp_executesql
    retval.Append("sp_executesql ");
    retval.AppendFormat("@statement = N'{0}'", sqlquery);
    }
    else
    {
    // Call will be straight SQL
    retval.Append(sqlquery);
    }

    Great work!

  2. Thanks!

    You're absolutely right, forgot about that one.. :-)

    I've updated the article.
