Question

I’m trying to run the following MS SQL query:

 select PolicyCode, OccupancyCode, premiumcode, VersionNumber, rate
 from COVERAGE_RATES as cov
 group by PolicyCode, OccupancyCode, PremiumCode,VersionNumber, rate
 having (VersionNumber = 25 or VersionNumber = 
 (
     select MAX(versionnumber) from COVERAGE_RATES where
     PolicyCode = 4 and OccupancyCode=2 and PremiumCode = cov.PremiumCode
 ) ) and PolicyCode = 4
 AND OccupancyCode = 2

The idea is to take records where VersionNumber is 25 or, if there is no such version in the group, take the maximum number. That is if we have the table:

policyCode Version ...
----------------------
1          2
1          10
2          1
2          25
2          26

We should have the following result:

policyCode Version ...
----------------------
1          10
2          25

The Linq code is:

var res = (from c in CoverageRate
                       group c by c.PolicyCode
                           into rateGroup
                           where rateGroup.Any(r => r.VersionNumber == versionNumber ||
                           r.VersionNumber == 
                           CoverageRate.Where(c2 => c2.OccupancyCode == occupancyCode && c2.PolicyCode == policyCode)
                               .Max(c2 => c2.VersionNumber))
                           select rateGroup);

But I suppose I’m doing something wrong because when I try to take res.Count() I have the following error:

Unable to create a constant value of type ‘..CoverageRate’. Only primitive types (‘such as Int32, String, and Guid’) are supported in this context.

Could someone help me with this query?

Update – I think you are looking for this:

var res =  from c in CoverageRate
           group c by c.PolicyCode into rateGroup
           select rateGroup.OrderByDescending(x => x.VersionNumber)
                           .FirstOrDefault();
