How to delete an object by using PK in nhibernate?

Question

How do I delete an object without fetching it from the db first?

In another ORM, I can do this:

session.Delete(1); // 1 = PK

Answer 1

Check out the ExecuteUpdate method on the IQuery object.

IQuery q = session.CreateQuery ("delete from User where Id = 1");
q.ExecuteUpdate();

Should delete the object without retrieving it afaik.
