Question

I am writing an application which works with a legacy database (brownfield). I have a couple of tables in which I insert data. These tables have some fields which need values of which I do not want the properties in my domain entities. Is there a way to insert the default value into the field without having to create a property for it my mapping file? I cannot alter the database to create a trigger, so it has to be done via the mapping file/.net application.

Hope someone can help. I hoped I could use a formula, but that doesn’t work and I couldn’t find any other ways to do it either.

You could use EventListeners

in the OnPostInsert / OnPostUpdate event you can get the db connection and ad-hoc execute a sql query.
