NHibernate Console

Question

Looking for any console where I could try my NHibernate HQL queries before embedding them in my application. Something like MySql Workbench would be very nice to have: all I need to do is enter a query and return the result.

If possible, list free tools first.

thanks

Answer 2

It has been a while since I last used it, but I believe that the NHibernate Query Analyzer can do this, at least in part. YMMV.

Answer 3

A special tool will be nice, but you really don't need it. You can test your queries with unit tests and NHProfiler. If you work in a team, you can share your tests so others can find out about it.
