Question

Is there a way to do
“UPDATE Item SET start_date = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP” ?
in Nhibernate without using hql/sql.

I am trying to avoid hql/sql because the rest of my code is in criteria. I want to do something like :

var item = session.get<Item>(id)
item.start_date = current_timestamp

Answer 1

There are two ways and sql is correct one.

Either you will

1. load all entities, change, update and commit, or
2. write sql query and let dbms handle most of the work
