Conclusion

In conclusion, we have seen that Nhibernate allows the programmer to do not worry about the access of the data base and to work in a completely transparent way with loaded object in the memory.

We have seen that it is possible to directly query these objects with HQL requests. This accelerates the time of development of the application. Indeed, we can concentrate on the Business layer of the software and we do not waste the time with development about the database accesses.

This principle tends to be generalized in the world of the software development. Indeed, version 3.0 of framework .NET will integrate an up layer called LINQ. This will allow in the same way than HQL, to directly query objects generated from the data base. (ADO.NET VNext).

All of this need to be watch very carefully. Indeed we can see in some groups in Internet that a new project combining Nhibernate and LINQ has been started…
