Hi Hudson, thank you for the quick response. FileData is a byte
array (byte[]). As for my database configuration, I am using the
SqlLite20Driver and the SQLiteDialect for testing purposes. For your
#1 suggestion, are you saying that I should remove the explicit call
to "CustomSqlTypeIs" and let NHibernate automatically take care of the
conditional logic for what the Sql type should be? Also, I noticed I
messed up the copy and paste job of my mapping. The constructor name
didn't match the class name. Sorry for any confusion out there.
public class MyFileMap : ClassMap<MyFile>
{
public MyFileMap()
{
Id(x => x.Id);
Map(x => x.FileData)
.CustomSqlTypeIs("varbinary(MAX)");
}
}
