Fixes #29667
Description
Query using keyless entities that also uses Take and Count throws SqlException.
Customer impact
Query using keyless entities that also uses Take and Count throws SqlException. Scenario is not common, but it is a regression and there is no good workaround for it. Only options are to not use keyless entities or perform Count on the client (which can be a significant perf hit)
How found
Customer report on 7.0.
Regression
Yes.
Testing
Added regression tests.
Risk
Low; Fix is very isolated, only affecting empty projection by adding an alias for it. Empty projection by definition can't be referenced in other parts of the query, so there is no risk of name clashes due to new alias. Also quirked.
