After some investigation I finally realised that if you create a new entity, then query NHibernate it may implicitly persist the transient object during a Flush. When it does this any interceptors will be fired [...]

I love my Mac, but this morning I found the one reason why the glossy UI isn’t always that great – since upgrading to Leopard Apache hasn’t been working on localhost but according to the System Preferences panel all is well.
A quick Google and I found several references to apachectl which is the server control [...]

The system i’m working on at the moment recently went into systest and we found a couple of database errors relating which NHibernate was throwing an exception of
Unexpected row count: -1, expected 1

Having upgraded the website I work on to .net 2.0, one of our console apps failed whilst talking to a webservice on the site. We’d not changed anything on either the console app, or the website other than upgrading the website to 2.0.
The error message was “global:System.Collections.IList cannot be deserialized because it does not have [...]

We’ve got a moderately large database here – 80gb, 5 tables and 500m rows – and we had problems updating it. Following a bout of Horizontal Partitioning we’ve now got 130 tables and those rows distributed evenly across them. However when a check constraint was updated today SQL Server 2000 wouldn’t allow data to import [...]
