NHibernate QUery Analyzer - Now in beta!
time to read 5 min | 926 words

It's about time that I did this. NHibernate Query Analyzer is now officially in beta status with the release of 0.7.

Let's cut to the chase, the project page is at: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/nqa/

The subversion repository is at: svn co svn://svn.berliod.de/nqa

But, the most important thing, of course, is the pretty long Flash Demo! 

In this release:

  • Functional hbm.xml editor with full UI integration!
    Including:
    • On the fly verification of the schema and error reporting,
    • Customized menus for each element, so you can't make mistakes.
    • NHibernate QUery Analyzer will also tells you which elements and attributes are missing and then suggest ways to fix it.
  • Many small bug fixes and improvements.

Next release:

Known problems:

  • The cfg.xml editor is not very stable and will be replaced soon.
  • You can't edit elemet's inner text - no particular reason, I forgot about it until it was too late.
  • Tree view names doesn't update when you change an element name.
  • There is little, if any, error recovery.

Request:

  • If someone with some graphical talent reads this, I need help making the UI more attractive. The current UI works, but....
  • Please send any problems you've to Bugs@ayende.com, I can't promise to fix everything, but I can promise to try.

Thanks:

  • For NHibernate itself, for making databases a breeze and XML & GUI a nightmare :-D
  • To  Pierre Henri, for several good ideas and new challanges creating them.
  • To xsd.exe, because of all the work it saved me.

P.S.

  • The whole thing with the matching version numbers is a pure coincidence.
