Hibernate version: 1.0.4

Mapping documents:




When storing a new Person, NHibernate creates a new (parent)record Relation.

In the database, we want CreatedOn to be database-generated datetimevalue.

However, NHibernate needs to add the Relationrecord first and than tries to store a NULL value for the CreatedOn property.

Is it possible to let NHibernate ignore the CreatedOn property when saving a new class to the database? If yes, how? If no, how to use database-generated default-values with NHibernate?

say this is your table

create table test (
id number(1) pRIMARY KEY,
ins date DEFAULT SYSDATE);

you could leave ins out of the mapping altogether.

or if you still want it for select, in the property

specify insert="false"
that way it will use the DB generated default value when the row is inserted.

Thank you! insert="false" was what I needed.
