Question

i have readonly VIEWs in an existing Database and i’d like to get them with FHN. i tried mapping it the following way:

public class HhstMap : ClassMap<Hhst>
{
    public HhstMap()
    {
        Table("HHST");

        ReadOnly();

        Id();

        Map(x => x.Hkz);
        Map(x => x.Kapitel);
        Map(x => x.Titel);
        Map(x => x.Apl);
        Map(x => x.Hhpz);
    }
}

but i got an error:
could not execute query
[ SELECT this_.id as id3_0_, this_.Hkz as Hkz3_0_, this_.Kapitel as Kapitel3_0_, this_.Titel as Titel3_0_, this_.Apl as Apl3_0_, this_.Hhpz as Hhpz3_0_ FROM HHST this_ ]

this is ok cause there is no ID Column, but how can i do mapping with Fluent without the ID?

Answer 1

You could retrieve the records as value objects (non-managed entities) instead of entities.

“14.1.5. Returning non-managed entities
It is possible to apply an IResultTransformer to native sql queries. Allowing it to e.g. return non-managed entities.

sess.CreateSQLQuery("SELECT NAME, BIRTHDATE FROM CATS")
    .SetResultTransformer(Transformers.AliasToBean(typeof(CatDTO)))

This query specified:
the SQL query string
a result transformer

The above query will return a list of CatDTO which has been instantiated and injected the values of NAME and BIRTHNAME into its corresponding properties or fields. “
