Research direction

Start with the LINQ query expression and filterByName example in the issue, then reproduce the generated SQL using SQLProvider 1.1.91, FSharp.Core 4.7.2, and .NET Core 3.1. Compare the table alias used for the filtered Name field with the expected SQL; done means the filter targets the intended joined table without requiring the workaround of reversing table order.

Description

question

Describe the bug
Trying to execute a join and filtering using Linq.Where on the second table produces a sql where clause where the field is linked to the first table not the second one.

To Reproduce
let filterByName (filter: Filter): Filtering = fun q -> match filter.Name with | ValueNone -> q | ValueSome n -> n |> Str.value |> (fun v -> q.Where(fun e -> e.Name.Contains(v)))

let search: Insurer.Query.DbSearch = fun (tenantId, filter) -> let tenantId = tenantId |> TenantId.value let ctx = Db.readerCtx () query { for i in ctx.Insurance.InsurerTable do join c in ctx.People.Company on ((i.TenantId, i.PersonId) = (c.TenantId, c.Id)) where (c.TenantId = tenantId) select c } |> filterByName filter

generates the following sql clause:
SELECT [Column List] FROM [Insurance].[InsurerTable] as i INNER JOIN [People].[Company] as c on i.[TenantId] = c.[TenantId] AND i.[PersonId] = c.[Id] WHERE ((c.[TenantId] = 561) AND (c.[Name] LIKE N'%Name209092560%'))

Expected behavior
SELECT [Column List] FROM [Insurance].[InsurerTable] as i INNER JOIN [People].[Company] as c on i.[TenantId] = c.[TenantId] AND i.[PersonId] = c.[Id] WHERE ((c.[TenantId] = 561) AND (i.[Name] LIKE N'%Name209092560%'))

Please, note the expected clause uses i.[Name] instead of c.[Name] in WHERE section.

Additional context
SQLProvider (1.1.91)
FSharp.Core (4.7.2)
Net Core 3.1

Workaround for this particular case
Inverting the order of the tables in the query solves the problem:
for c in ctx.People.Company do join i in ctx.Insurance.InsurerTable on ((c.TenantId, c.Id) = (i.TenantId, i.PersonId))
But this is valid in this case, in many others, this solution won't be possible.
