How do I select the Count(*) of an nHibernate Subquery's results

Question

I need to do the following for the purposes of paging a query in nHibernate:

Select count(*) from 
(Select e.ID,e.Name from Object as e where...)


        

Answer 1

I prefer,

    public IList GetOrders(int pageindex, int pagesize, out int total)
    {
            var results = session.CreateQuery().Add(session.CreateQuery("from Orders o").SetFirstResult(pageindex).SetMaxResults(pagesize));

            var wCriteriaCount = (ICriteria)results.Clone());

            wCriteriaCount.SetProjection(Projections.RowCount());

            total = Convert.ToInt32(wCriteriaCount.UniqueResult());


            return results.List();
    }

Answer 2

If you just need e.Id,e.Name:

select count(*) from Object where.....

Answer 3

var session = GetSession();
var criteria = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Order))
                    .Add(Restrictions.Eq("Product", product))
                    .SetProjection(Projections.CountDistinct("Price"));
return (int) criteria.UniqueResult();

Answer 4

Solved My own question by modifying Geir-Tore's answer.....

 IList results = session.CreateMultiQuery()
        .Add(session.CreateQuery("from Orders o").SetFirstResult(pageindex).SetMaxResults(pagesize))
        .Add(session.CreateQuery("select count(distinct e.Id) from Orders o where..."))
        .List();
    return results;

Answer 5

Here is a draft of how I do it:

Query:

public IList GetOrders(int pageindex, int pagesize)
{
    IList results = session.CreateMultiQuery()
        .Add(session.CreateQuery("from Orders o").SetFirstResult(pageindex).SetMaxResults(pagesize))
        .Add(session.CreateQuery("select count(*) from Orders o"))
        .List();
    return results;
}

ObjectDataSource:

[DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Select)]
public DataTable GetOrders(int startRowIndex, int maximumRows)
{
    IList result = dao.GetOrders(startRowIndex, maximumRows);
    _count = Convert.ToInt32(((IList)result[1])[0]);

    return DataTableFromIList((IList)result[0]); //Basically creates a DataTable from the IList of Orders
}

Answer 6

NHibernate 3.0 allows Linq query.

Try this

int count = session.QueryOver<Orders>().RowCount();
