NHibernate 3 specify sql data type with loquacious syntax

Question

I\'m trying to map an Entity with a string property to a varchar column in NHibernate 3 using the new Loquacious API but I can\'t figure out how to specify the Type to

Answer 1

An answer to the question itself ("specify sql type") would be to define the property like this:

ca.Property(x => x.Code, map =>
        {
            map.Column(cm => {
                cm.Name("EnityCode"); 
                cm.NotNullable(true);
                cm.SqlType("varchar");
            }); 
        });

Directly specifying the SQL type should be considered a hack which is not necessary here, though. It's preferable to use the map.Type(NHibernateUtil.AnsiString); solution and have NHibernate deduce the SQL type.

Answer 2

ca.Property(x => x.Code, map =>
{
    map.Type(NHibernateUtil.AnsiString);
    map.Column(/*etc.*/); 
});
