Hi

I was wondering about NHibernate and scalability.

I'm making a web app that does a lot of reporting, so does a lot of big select statements and not too many inserts/updates. If I needed to scale to more than one computer its likely that the database will need to be scaled before the web application because it is used heavily.

To scale it it seemed a good idea to have a master database that handles the inserts, and slave databases that handle the select statements. But I don't think this will work cleanly with NHibernate since you can't really configure it to work this way.

So should I forget NHibernate or is there a better strategy that I could use that works well with NHibernate?
