Question

I am using NHIbernate against MySql, and when I use the following statement, NHibernate Profiler shows me that the query passed to MySql is basically SELECT * FROM tablename with NO WHERE clause. The LINQ expression isn’t applied until after all the data are retrieved. This is obviously not acceptable from a performance standpoint. What am I doing wrong?

Session.Linq<T>().Where(expression).AsQueryable()

Thanks!

[UPDATE]
As @GertArnold guessed, the call preceding this was:

public IQueryable<Student> FindByExpression(Func<Student, bool> expression)

The expression was:

   _studentRepository.FindByExpression(t =>
         (t.Teacher.Id == dto.TeacherId) &&
         (t.Id != dto.Id) &&
         (
           (t.ExternalId != null && student.ExternalId != null
         )

Answer 1

You should use an Expression<Func<T, bool>> instead of Func<T, bool>.
