Use this for the meantime:
public static string ToLowercaseNamingConvention(this string s, bool toLowercase)
{
if (toLowercase)
{
var r = new Regex(@"
(?<=[A-Z])(?=[A-Z][a-z]) |
(?<=[^A-Z])(?=[A-Z]) |
(?<=[A-Za-z])(?=[^A-Za-z])", RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace);
return r.Replace(s, "_").ToLower();
}
else
return s;
}

I'm not familiar with NHibernate, but why does it not quote identifiers if it is case sensitive?

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, NHibernate doesn't quote tables and columns by default. Perhaps they are of the thinking that the majority of Postgresql users are naming their tables and columns in lowercase, so constructing query would not be a tedious chore. e.g. SELECT * FROM Person WHERE Lastname = 'Hejlsberg' and Firstname = 'Anders', select * from lastname = 'hejlsberg' and firstname = 'anders' will do too; whereas if those Postgresql users make their DDL like this CREATE TABLE "Person"("Lastname" text, "Firstname" text), querying could induce RSI, i.e. SELECT * FROM "Person" WHERE "Person"."Lastname" = 'Hejlsberg' AND "Person"."Firstname" = 'Anders'. Unquoting them in ORMs will let Postgresql fold the table and column names to lowercase.
The ToLowercaseNamingConvention function, aside from making names lowercase, it also put an undescore on compound words, e.g. AddressCity to address_city, PostComment to post_comment
However, there's a solution with FNH(via INamingStrategy) if you are using uppercase in your table and column names: http://manfredlange.blogspot.com/2011/04/fluent-nhibernate-postgresql-and.html
