How do add NOLOCK with nHibernate?

Question

How do you add NOLOCK when using nhibernate? (criteria query)

Answer 1

You can solve it by using Interceptor.

var session = SessionFactory.OpenSession(new NoLockInterceptor());

Here is the implementation for the NoLockInterceptor class. Basically the NoLockInterceptor class will insert "WITH (NOLOCK)" hint after each table names in the select query, generated by nHibernate.

public class NoLockInterceptor : EmptyInterceptor
{
    public override SqlString OnPrepareStatement(SqlString sql)
        {
            //var log = new StringBuilder();
            //log.Append(sql.ToString());
            //log.AppendLine();

            // Modify the sql to add hints
            if (sql.StartsWithCaseInsensitive("select"))
            {
                var parts = sql.ToString().Split().ToList();
                var fromItem = parts.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Trim().Equals("from", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
                int fromIndex = fromItem != null ? parts.IndexOf(fromItem) : -1;
                var whereItem = parts.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Trim().Equals("where", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
                int whereIndex = whereItem != null ? parts.IndexOf(whereItem) : parts.Count;

                if (fromIndex == -1)
                    return sql;

                parts.Insert(parts.IndexOf(fromItem) + 3, "WITH (NOLOCK)");
                for (int i = fromIndex; i < whereIndex; i++)
                {
                    if (parts[i - 1].Equals(","))
                    {
                        parts.Insert(i + 3, "WITH (NOLOCK)");
                        i += 3;
                    }
                    if (parts[i].Trim().Equals("on", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                    {
                        parts[i] = "WITH (NOLOCK) on";
                    }
                }
                // MUST use SqlString.Parse() method instead of new SqlString()
                sql = SqlString.Parse(string.Join(" ", parts));
            }

            //log.Append(sql);
            return sql;
        }
}
