Question

In plain old SQL, I can do something like this:

select * from mytable COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS

Is there a way to specify the type of collation I want to use for a given query in nHibernate, in HQL or in criteria?

Answer 1

Germán Schuager has managed to specify collation at run time. Take a look here.

var user = session.CreateCriteria(typeof (User))
    .Add(Expression.Sql("Username like ? collate Modern_Spanish_CS_AS", username, NHibernateUtil.String))
    .UniqueResult<User>();
