Hello, I use fluent and nHibernate for about 2 months now but can not find the right documentation for my problem:
I habe a table "OrgUnits" wich represents a tree that can easy be queried. I have the following columns: Id (Uniqueidentifier) Name (string) ParentOrgUnitId (uniqueidentifier) HierarchicalPath (string - the complete path is resolved using a configured seperator) I want to avoid any recursion and have a query, based on the HierarchicalPath column that can select all descendant org units (not only the children). I need this recursion-less query to resolve some connected ACL's (Access Control Lists). I think there is some solution to query for all descendants in linq, but: How can I MAP this descendant org units. There is no Primary-Foreign Key relationship to all descendants. It is easy to create an SQL to query for all descendents (the select is cheap if you have an index in "HierarchicalPath": I do not know if I can tell the fluent "HasMany" statement not to use any primary-foreign-key relationship but instead give some "StartsWith" on the HierarchicalPath column. Here is the SQL that collects all org units I want to be returned by the "Descendants" mapping. This selects all descendant org units including "MyRoot". Is it possible to do a mapping (self-mapping) that serves a IEnumerable<OrgUnit> property with all org units defined in the SQL below using Fluent? select d.* from OrgUnits o left join OrgUnits d on CharIndex(o.HierarchicalPath,d.HierarchicalPath)=1 where o.Name='MyRoot' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Fluent NHibernate" group.
