使用IQueryable时遇到两个问题

1. The 'Distinct' operation cannot be applied to the collection ResultType of the specified argument.

　　当查询结果包含引用类型时，不能直接使用union，Distinct只能处理简单类型。

　　所以在OrderDetailsQuery 中，不能有List。

2. The type 'EFSample.OrderDetailsTable' appears in two structurally incompatible initializations within a single LINQ to Entities query. A type can be initialized in two places in the same query, but only if the same properties are set in both places and those properties are set in the same order.

　　当查询结果集排序或者字段不一致时，无法union。因此在ChaiUpdateOrder 中虽然不需要其他信息，还是要按照union的格式写全。

3. public static IEnumerable<TResult> Join<TOuter, TInner, TKey, TResult>(this IEnumerable<TOuter> outer, IEnumerable<TInner> inner, Func<TOuter, TKey> outerKeySelector, Func<TInner, TKey> innerKeySelector, Func<TOuter, TInner, TResult> resultSelector);

var IQueryJoin = spainOrder.Join(productFilterOrder, a => a.OrderID, b => b.OrderID, (a, b) => a);

A Join B，A.Key Compare with B.Key, Select A.*
