NHibernate does not create Tables

Question

var cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.Configure();
cfg.AddAssembly(typeof(<ClassName>).Assembly);
new SchemaExport(cfg).Execute(false, true, false, false);

The above piece of code is supposed to create a database Table with name <ClassName>.

But it is not creating.

Answer 1

Your most likely problems:

• using SQLite with connection.release_mode=on_close
• no mapping files in the specified assembly
• mapping files have not been added to the assembly as an Embedded Resource
• mapping files are not named *.hbm.xml
• some table or column names should be quoted for SQL (this would be throwing an exception)

Answer 2

The first parameter to Execute() must be true.

new SchemaExport(cfg).Execute(**true**, true, false, false);

I don't know why, but there you have it.
