How to do use IN operator in LINQ queries?

[tforkmann]

I'm trying to convert SqlProvider queries to Dapper.FSharp queries.

In Sqlprovider you can use |=| as an IN operator in the where clause.

Would be nice if I could do something like that with Dapper.FSharp.

I tried this which obviously does not work:

let getIdsAndDescriptions (conn: IDbConnection)=
    task {
        let! ids =
            select {
            for e in enmsTabelle do
            join datapoints  in enmsSichtDatenpunkte on (e.Sakto = datapoints.Sakto)
            where (datapoints.Mandant = int16 999
                && datapoints.USER_KstEbene |=| [|"Contracting";"BGA";"KW"|])
            distinct
             }
            |> conn.SelectAsync<{| Saktobez: string ; Sakto : string ; USER_KstEbene : string |}>
        return ids |> Seq.toArray
    }

Any idea how to implement that?

This should work.

• I moved the int16 999 outside of the query (prepping "parameters" should happen outside of query to avoid exceptions)
• The "isIn" or "isNotIn" query functions currently require a list

let getIdsAndDescriptions (conn: IDbConnection)=
    task {
        let mandant = int16 999
        let! ids =
            select {
                for e in enmsTabelle do
                join datapoints  in enmsSichtDatenpunkte on (e.Sakto = datapoints.Sakto)
                where (
                    datapoints.Mandant = mandant &&
                    isIn datapoints.USER_KstEbene [ "Contracting";"BGA";"KW" ])
                distinct
             }
             |> conn.SelectAsync<{| Saktobez: string ; Sakto : string ; USER_KstEbene : string |}>
        return ids |> Seq.toArray
    }

I think I missed your intent. To implement that you would need to stub out the new operator, and then check for it alongside the
isIn / isNotIn MethodCall handler. That's just a guess - not sure if it would be a straightforward add.

Thanks @JordanMarr!

I think the isIn operator is totally fine.
Didn't know those operators work for then LINQ queries stlye as well.

Closing!
