NHibernate Query Analyzer new Logo:

At long last (5 months!), I've NHibernate Query Analyzer just the way I want it. This release feature the following goodies:

  • Code that I would own up to :-), seriously, the old codebase was a horror, this one has promise.
  • Plenty of tests (which doesn't cover the GUI, though. This is a pretty important thing for a front end application).
  • Lots of UI enhancements - check out the flash demo and you'll get a feeling about what I'm talking about! The object graph view is actually a graph (and with pretty colors, too :-D).
  • The ability to view the results from an HQL query in both tabular and object graph formats.
  • Support for lazy collections.
  • On the fly error checking for HQL statements.
  • Support for parametrized queries.
  • Smart error checking for schema violations and helpful messages about how to fix them.
  • The editors for configuration and mapping files are both more pleasing to the eye and much better in regard to such things as accurate error reporting.
  • The editors will try to help you when they know what kind of information you should input to the class.
  • Using NHiberante 0.8.4, the latest released package.

Some of the things that you won't see directly unless you mess with the code:

  • The ability to add very easily new XML types for editing, as long as they have an XML Schema.

Here are the links to the project page and to the downloads. Documentation will appear shortly.

One thing to notice, there seems to be a problem with Berlios' subversion server, I can't access them for the last five hours or so.
