Hello, me and my team are currently using LLBLGen which does not support MARS and were wondering if NHibernate has added support for MARS. We are using SQL2005. Thanks.

Sorry, some of us are still here on Earth. :D

On a serious note, is MARS the same as the batch support that Ayende wrote? If so, then yes.

Thanks for the quick reply. Im new to these forums, where can I find the post/article on the batch support?

Update: Essentially MARS (multiple active record set) gives the ability to have more than one pending request under a single sql server connection and allows requests to interleave.

Not sure if these will be helpful, but here you go.

Thanks for looking into it for me. Batching is a different topic, we were really hoping support would be there for MARS which doesn't seem to be the case. It seems like my company would rather scale the application by throwing more hardware at problem to handle the extra connections *sigh*.

@DavidB,
MARS is used for a very differnet purpose, usually so you can interleve read/write in SQL.

Why do you need this support?
NHibernate supports this, but that is completely invisible to the users.
The SQL Server 2000 dialect doesn't support it, but it is trivial to add, and is on the road map to 1.2
You can open a JIRA if this is so important, but I would love to hear about the use case that require this.
