Is it true that calling Add on an IList configured as a bag will not load the entire bag? When I try to Add to the end, NHibernate issues a select that loads the entire bag.

I have configured the association like

<bag name="Transactions" lazy="true" batch-size="15" order-by="Id asc" cascade="all-delete-orphan">

Do any of the other attributes have an effect?

thanks,

As I understand it, any change to the shape of a bag requires that the entire bag be loaded, or at least have its ids fully loaded. The other collection types do not suffer from this "feature".

I forgot the make the association bi-directional. Once I did, it worked as advertised and it did not need to fetch the entire bag.
