NHibernate: insert multiple items at once
- by Gart
Hello, all! I am learning NHibernate now and I would like to know is it possible to save multiple objects to database in one operation.
For example, consider this test code
    private static void SaveTestBillNamesInSession(ISession session, params string[] names)
    {
        var bills = from name in names
                    select new Bill
                        {
                            Name = name,
                            DateRegistered = DateTime.Now,
                        };
        foreach (var bill in bills)
            session.SaveOrUpdate(bill);
    }
This loop here generates many INSERT statements which may be sub-optimal in SQL Server 2008 which allows to include multiple data rows in one INSERT statement. 
Is it possible to rewrite this code to make use of this functionality - insert all the data in one operation?
