Nhibernate + QueryOver: filter with Where ignoring sensitive

Question

I am trying to build a simple query in nHibernate with QueryOver but I want it to convert everything lower-case or ignore sensitive:

Domain.User User = Sessi         


        

Answer 1

public static class QueryOverExtension
{
    /// <summary>
    /// This method is used in cases where the root type is required
    /// Example: .WhereEqualInsensitive(t => t.Property, stringValue)
    /// </summary>
    public static IQueryOver<T, TU> WhereEqualInsensitive<T, TU>(this IQueryOver<T, TU> queryOver, Expression<Func<T, object>> path, string value)
    {
        return queryOver.Where(Restrictions.Eq(Projections.SqlFunction("upper", NHibernateUtil.String, Projections.Property(path)), value.ToUpper()));
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// This method is used in cases where the root type is NOT required
    /// Example: .WhereEqualInsensitive(() => addressAlias.DefaultEmail, contactEmailAddress)
    /// </summary>
    public static IQueryOver<T, TU> WhereEqualInsensitive<T,TU>(this IQueryOver<T, TU> queryOver, Expression<Func<object>> path, string value)
    {
        return queryOver.Where(Restrictions.Eq(Projections.SqlFunction("upper", NHibernateUtil.String, Projections.Property(path)), value.ToUpper()));
    }
}

Usages:

Session.QueryOver<DTO>()
           .WhereEqualInsensitive(t => t.Property, value)

ChildDTO childAlias = null;
Session.QueryOver<DTO>()
           .JoinAlias(t => t.ChildDTO, () => childAlias)
           .WhereEqualInsensitive(() => myAlias.Property, value)

NH 3.0 has a linq provider so you can use

Session.Query<Domain.User>()
           .Where(x=>x.Login.ToLower() =="username")
           .SingleOrDefault();

Answer 3

In QueryOver you can use following:

Domain.User User = Session.QueryOver<Domain.User>()
       .WhereRestrictionOn(x=>x.Login).IsInsensitiveLike("username")
       .SingleOrDefault();

Answer 4

my workaround for this is using a expression.eq combined with a projection, so a case insensitive equals without any magic strings can be done with queryover

query.Where(Expression.Eq(Projections.Property(Of MyType)
                (Function(x) x.Name), "something").IgnoreCase)

Better way is to change collation of your database to case insensitive one. If you can change database.
