Hi,

I'm writing a data access layer and would like to combine the Save and SaveOrUpdate methods so that the user doesn't need to worry about which one to use. I thought about using an IsTransient property for all my domain entities but then realised that I'd need to have a column in each table to store the value.

Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks!

If you don't use assigned ids, you don't have to worry at all. You can use SaveOrUpdate() anytime and hibernate uses the correct command.

Ah I see, thank you very much!
