linq-to-nhibernate

To keep my integration tests independent I remove all old data and insert new test data before each test. Is there a better way of doing this than simply querying for all entities and deleting them one by one? I have considered writing a stored proc that runs "delete from tablename ;" for each table that is to be cleared. That ought to quite a bit faster, but it would be nice to do it without doing SQL queries or calling SPs via NH. I'm using vanilla NHibernate and Linq to NHibernate. I beleive Castle Active Record has something like Foo.DeleteAll(), but I don't want to use Active Record for

I need a way to query in Nhibernate for items that have a Dictionary Property containing value. Assume: public class Item { public virtual IDictionary<int, string> DictionaryProperty {get; set;} } and mapping: public ItemMap() { HasMany(x => x.DictionaryProperty) .Access.ReadOnlyPropertyThroughCamelCaseField(Prefix.Underscore) .AsMap<string>( index => index.Column("IDNumber").Type<int>(), element => element.Column("TextField").Type<string>().Length(666) ) .Cascade.AllDeleteOrphan() .Fetch.Join(); } I want to query all Item s that have a dictionary value of "SomeText". The following example in

To take advantage of Full text indexing on MariaDB 10, I need to use this new "MATCH AGAINST" syntax in the sql string. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-search.html#function_match I think it would be really cool if, for certain columns only, I could override linq-to-nhibernate to change the sql it generates when I use .Where(x => FullTextIndexedStringProperty.Contains("Some word")).ToList(). Who can give me some general directions on how to get started? This will get you a very simple MATCH ... AGAINST clause. If you want to get more complex (more arguments, specifying the

I want to do paging with NHibernate when writing a Linq query. It's easy to do something like this: return session.Query<Payment>() .OrderByDescending(payment => payment.Created) .Skip((page - 1)*pageSize) .Take(pageSize) .ToArray(); But with this I don't get any info about the total number of items. And if I just do a simple .Count(), that will generate a new call to the database. I found this answer which solved it by using future. But it uses Criteria. How can I do this with Linq? The difficulty with using Futures with LINQ is that operations like Count execute immediately. As @vandalo
