Fluent NHibernate Solution to enable SchemaExport to create HiLo colum

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:40:26 GMT

I spent a few hours recently trying to figure out why Fluent NHibernate (FNH) wasn't doing what I thought it should be doing when using the HiLo generator conventions and then using the SchemaExport tool to generate my schema.

A strange bug in NHibernate 2.1 - 3.2.0

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:22:39 GMT

In a previous post I described a technique to insert query hints into NHibernate query with the use of comments.

If you look into the NHibernate code that is throwing the exception you find this function in the Sql Dialect

Ruby, Python, Perl, Node, and Clojure all have, to varying degrees, a unified story for defining a project, translating its source code into runnable code, running a test suite, building distributable packages, and resolving and installing a project or package's dependencies. These stories just work across all supported platforms. Setting up a cross-platform open source .NET project is non-trivial. ...
