Question

I am considering using Fluent NHibernate for my project and I haven’t found any documentation on whether FH supports NHibernate settings such as show_sql and prepare_sql. I could live without show_sql in a pinch, but prepare_sql is important for ensuring good performance at run time.

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to configure these settings in Fluent NHibernate?

Answer 1

Yes, you can.

Fluently.Configure()
    .Database(ConfigureDatabase())
    .Mappings(ConfigureMapping)
    .ExposeConfiguration(ModifyConfiguration)
    .BuildConfiguration();

And now in ModifyConfiguration method you have plain NHibernate‘s Configuration object to modify

private void ModifyConfiguration(Configuration configuration)
{
    // set parameters here like this:
    configuration.Properties["show_sql"] = "true";
}
