Direzione di ricerca

Start by tracing the SQL Server provider translation for Contains over primitive collections nested in JSON collections, especially the OPENJSON and JSON_CONTAINS paths affected by Azure SQL compatibility level 170. Compare the generated SQL for UseAzureSql and UseSqlServer, then add or find a regression test for the supplied model and query. Done means the query works on both provider configurations without errors 8116 or 13618.

Descrizione

Bug description

With UseAzureSql at compatibility level 170, Contains over a primitive collection inside a JSON-mapped collection fails:

Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Argument data type nvarchar(max) is invalid for argument 1 of json_contains function.

This looks like an interaction between two changes:

  • The Azure SQL fix for #38615 (PR #38665): with UseAzureSql, the nested fragment in OPENJSON ... WITH is declared nvarchar(max) ... AS JSON instead of json ... AS JSON.
  • The JSON_CONTAINS translation (#36656 / #37562): it is then applied to that fragment. JSON_CONTAINS only accepts the json type as its first argument.

Generated SQL with UseAzureSql:

WHERE EXISTS (
    SELECT 1
    FROM OPENJSON([b].[Details], '$.Tags') WITH ([Names] nvarchar(max) '$.Names' AS JSON) AS [t]
    WHERE JSON_CONTAINS([t].[Names], N'a') = 1)

With UseSqlServer the fragment is declared json and the query works on SQL Server 2025. On Azure SQL Database, though, that form is the one #38615 fixed (error 13618). So on Azure SQL at level 170 this query shape fails with either provider configuration.

Possible fixes: keep the OPENJSON translation for Contains over a fragment that was declared nvarchar(max), or wrap the fragment in CAST(... AS json) before JSON_CONTAINS. JSON_CONTAINS(CAST(JSON_QUERY(...) AS json), ...) works on both SQL Server 2025 and Azure SQL.

Your code
// dotnet run repro.cs -- "<connection string to an empty database on SQL Server 2025 or Azure SQL Database>"
#:property PublishAot=false
#:package [email protected]
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

var options = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<BlogContext>()
    .UseAzureSql(args[0], o => o.UseCompatibilityLevel(170))
    .Options;
await using var context = new BlogContext(options);
await context.Database.EnsureDeletedAsync();
await context.Database.EnsureCreatedAsync();

context.Blogs.Add(new Blog { Details = new Details { Tags = [new Tag { Names = ["a"] }] } });
await context.SaveChangesAsync();

// FAIL: Argument data type nvarchar(max) is invalid for argument 1 of json_contains function.
await context.Blogs.CountAsync(b => b.Details.Tags.Any(t => t.Names.Contains("a")));

public class Blog
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public Details Details { get; set; } = new();
}

public class Details
{
    public List<Tag> Tags { get; set; } = [];
}

public class Tag
{
    public List<string> Names { get; set; } = [];
}

public class BlogContext(DbContextOptions<BlogContext> options) : DbContext(options)
{
    public DbSet<Blog> Blogs => Set<Blog>();
    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
        => modelBuilder.Entity<Blog>().OwnsOne(b => b.Details, d =>
        {
            d.ToJson();
            d.OwnsMany(x => x.Tags);
        });
}
