I am starting to play with (Fluent) nHibernate and I am wondering if someone can help with the following. I'm sure it's a total
noob question.
I want to do:
delete from TABX where name = 'abc'
where table TABX is defined as:
ID int
name varchar(32)
...
I build the code based on internet samples:
using (ITransaction transaction = session.BeginTransaction())
{
IQuery query = session.CreateQuery("FROM TABX WHERE name = :uid")
.SetString("uid", "abc");
session.Delete(query.List<Person>()[0]);
transaction.Commit();
}
but alas, it's generating two queries (one select and one delete). I want to do this in a single statement, as in my original SQL. What is the correct way of doing this?
Also, I noticed that in most samples on the internet, people tend to always wrap all queries in transactions. Why is that? If I'm only running a single statement, that seems an overkill. Do people tend to just mindlessly cut and paste, or is there a reason beyond that? For example, in my query above, if I do manage it to get it from two queries down to one, i should be able to remove the begin/commit transaction, no?
if it matters, I'm using PostgreSQL for experimenting.
