Hi!
I'm using Linq to Entities.
I have the following query in my code, it includes left outer Join:
var surgeonList = (from item in context.T1_STM_Surgeon.Include("T1_STM_SurgeonTitle")
.Include("OTER").Include("OSLP")
join reptable in context.OSLP on item.Rep equals reptable.SlpCode into surgRepresentative
where item.ID == surgeonId
select new
{
ID = item.ID,
First = item.First,
Last = item.Last,
Rep = (surgRepresentative.FirstOrDefault() != null) ? surgRepresentative.FirstOrDefault().SlpName : "N/A",
Reg = item.OTER.descript,
PrimClinic = item.T1_STM_ClinicalCenter.Name,
Titles = item.T1_STM_SurgeonTitle,
Phone = item.Phone,
Email = item.Email,
Address1 = item.Address1,
Address2 = item.Address2,
City = item.City,
State = item.State,
Zip = item.Zip,
Comments = item.Comments,
Active = item.Active,
DateEntered = item.DateEntered
})
.ToList();
My DEV server has SQL 2008, so the code works just fine.
When I moved this code to client's production server - they use SQL 2000, I started getting "Incorrect syntax near '(' ".
I've tried changing the ProviderManifestToken to 2000 in my .edmx file, then I started getting "The execution of this query requires the APPLY operator, which is not supported in versions of SQL Server earlier than SQL Server 2005." I tied changing the token to 2005, the "Incorrect syntax near '(' " is back.
Can anybody help me to find a workaround for this?
Thank you very much in advance!
