Aggregating multiple queries into one with EF?

I am using EF 4.0 POCO in my application. Are there any downsides to getting information like this?

Given a customerId

and a productId

, I would like to apply some business rules that require me to get many small pieces of information from a database that requires multiple queries. Instead, I could write one query like this:

var customerId = 1;
var productId = 1;

var aggregateQuery = 
    from entry in Customers.Take(0).DefaultIfEmpty()
    select new
    {
        numberOfOrders = SalesOrderHeaders.Where (header => header.CustomerID == customerId).Count(),
        canSellProduct = Products.Where(product => product.ProductID == productId && product.SellEndDate > DateTime.Now).Count () > 0

        //more infromation of this sort, required to enforce business rules
    };

var informationPacket = aggregateQuery.First();

      

        
        
        
      

    

Customers.Take(0).DefaultIfEmpty()

just makes it possible to run a query, and Customers

, SalesOrderHeaders

and Products

are instances of EF ObjectQuery from context (this example if from LinqPad). This results in the following SQL:

-- Region Parameters
DECLARE @p0 Int = 1
DECLARE @p1 Int = 1
DECLARE @p2 DateTime = '2012-04-04 21:02:20.798'
DECLARE @p3 Int = 0
-- EndRegion
SELECT TOP (1) [t6].[value] AS [numberOfOrders], [t6].[value2] AS [canSellProduct]
FROM (
    SELECT (
        SELECT COUNT(*)
        FROM [Sales].[SalesOrderHeader] AS [t3]
        WHERE [t3].[CustomerID] = @p0
        ) AS [value], 
        (CASE 
            WHEN ((
                SELECT COUNT(*)
                FROM [Production].[Product] AS [t5]
                WHERE ([t5].[ProductID] = @p1) AND ([t5].[SellEndDate] > @p2)
                )) > @p3 THEN 1
            WHEN NOT (((
                SELECT COUNT(*)
                FROM [Production].[Product] AS [t5]
                WHERE ([t5].[ProductID] = @p1) AND ([t5].[SellEndDate] > @p2)
                )) > @p3) THEN 0
            ELSE NULL
         END) AS [value2]
    FROM (
        SELECT NULL AS [EMPTY]
        ) AS [t0]
    OUTER APPLY (
        SELECT TOP (0) NULL AS [EMPTY]
        FROM [Sales].[Customer] AS [t1]
        ) AS [t2]
    ) AS [t6]
