Hello,

I have been starting to use the alpha release of nhibernate 1.2. It works great with Generics, good work ! :)

But some questions have also risen from it. Questions i have not found answer from elsewhere.

1. How could i compile alpha2 of nhibernate 1.2 ? ( i see from the issue tracker, that quite a lot of bugs have been fixed). If i download the trunk from the subversion repository then do i get the source for 1.2 or 1.0.3 ? That is a bit confusing. Trunk has the currently working copy. Or since the bugs fixed in 1.0.3 are also needed for 1.2 the trunk is ok for custom build ?

2. Why do all the members in the class that is persisted have to be virtual ? (methods, properties)

Thanks in advance and great work,
Taavi

PS! These could be stupid questions ... apologize if they are.

1. The version number in SVN wasn't updated, so if you check out trunk and compile it, it will report its version as Alpha1 but it will in fact be the newer version.

The future version 1.0.3 is located in branches/v10branch.

2. See the post that started this topic.

Thank you for the answers :)

I have downloaded the latest trunk :)

I have also read the post that started this topic, i dont know how i missed the sentence.

Hi Frnds,

I have to use nHibernate OR Mapping tool in my project and for that I am using MS .Net 2005 and MS SQL server 2005. So please let me know whether NHibernate 1.0.2 Alpha version supports SQL Server 2005 ot not?

Thanks,
DSB

SQL Server 2005 support in 1.2 alpha 1 seems pretty stable from my use over the last few weeks. I haven't found any show-stopper bugs using the 2005 dialect or driver.

Hi JStelly,

I guess we can not rely on alpha version. Product should be in released version so that we can integrate it with our product. Please let me know whether nHibernate Version 1.2 supports sql 2005 or not?

Thanks,
Deepak

In my experience, the current release version works just fine with SQL Server 2005. You just have to use the MsSql2005Dialect.

If you can't use alpha version, you can still use a driver for Sql 2005. Just create a new class project, put the Sql 2005 driver file, connect the needed references, add reference to this new driver .dll in your main project and add the necessary setting in the .config file. In our project we use NH 1.02, and we had our version for the Sql 2005 driver, but later we just took the version from the NH 1.2 and everything works great.

HTH, Tom

Oops, in my previous post, I meant to say that you can use the SqlServer2000Dialect. i.e. generally speaking, having the SqlServer2005Dialect in the alpha isn't totally necessary.

When is a Production release of NHibernate 1.2 expected to be released ?
(at least a rough estimate would be nice, i.e. early 2007, late 2007, 2008, 2009,...?)
