如何計算嵌套集合/ codefirst中的項目EntityFramework

Question

我已經定義瞭如下定義的CodeFirst集合。

對於任何給定的EmailOwnerId，我想統計存在EmailDetailAttachments記錄的數量，而不實際下載所有圖像本身。

我知道我可以這樣做

var emailsToView = (from data in db.EmailDetails.Include("EmailDetailAttachments") 
         where data.EmailAccount.EmailOwnerId = 999 
         select data).ToList(); 
int cnt = 0;  
foreach (var email in emailsToView) 
{ 
    cnt += email.EmailDetailAttachments.Count(); 
} 

但這意味着我已經下載圖像的所有字節從我的遙遠的服務器。

任何建議，將不勝感激。

public class EmailDetail 
{ 
    [Key] 
    [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)] 
    public int Id { get; set; } 
    public int EmailOwnerId {get;set;} 

    public virtual ICollection<ImageDetail> EmailDetailAttachments { get; set; } 
    .. 
} 

public class ImageDetail 
{ 
    [Key] 
    [DatabaseGeneratedAttribute(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)] 
    public int Id { get; set; } 

    [MaxLengthAttribute(256)] 
    public string FileName { get; set; } 

    [MaxLengthAttribute(256)] 
    public string ContentMimeType { get; set; } 

    public byte[] ImageDataBytes { get; set; } 
    public DateTime ImageCreation { get; set; } 
}

引擎應該能夠將其更新爲COUNT(*)語句。

var emailsToView = (from data in db.EmailDetails // no Include 
        where data.EmailAccount.EmailOwnerId = 999 
        select new { 
         Detail = data, 
         Count=data.EmailDetailAttachments.Count() } 
        ).ToList(); 

但是你必須驗證這是否產生正確的（和更高效的）SQL。
