NHibernate QueryOver with JoinQueryOver select all columns - nhibernate

Question

I have some QueryOver with several joins and the result I get is OK in terms of the returned objects. This is the code>
var l = session.QueryOver<Discount>(() => discount)
.JoinQueryOver<ConPrdGrp>(r => r.ConPrdGrps)
.JoinQueryOver<PrdGroupTree>(k => k.PrdGroupTree)
.JoinQueryOver<Product>(g => g.Products)
.Where(p => p.ProductID == Product.ProductID)
.And(() => discount.FomDato <= DateTime.Now && discount.TomDato >= DateTime.Now).List();
But if I look at the SQL statement, I can see that the generated query selects ALL columns from all joined tables although the result only returns a list of Discount objects. I can get some properties of Discount using projections and the query will be much smaller. But how I can instruct NHibernate to get just columns from the Discount table and not from all joined tables?

Answer 1

As far as I know there is NOT a simple way like: .Select(Projections.Properties<Discount>()). Check this a bit outdated question (NHIbernate: Shortcut for projecting all properties?)
What you can do is explicitly name the columns you would like to see:
... // the QueryOver you have
.SelectList (l => l
.Select(() => discount.ID).WithAlias(() => discount.ID)
.Select(() => discount.Code).WithAlias(() => discount.Code)
...
)
.TransformUsing(Transformers.AliasToBean<Discount>())
...
The second approach could be to create the Subquery, and then just QueryOver<Discount>() 16.8. Subqueries
QueryOver<Discount> subQuery =
QueryOver.Of<Discount>(() => innerDiscount)
.JoinQueryOver<ConPrdGrp>(r => r.ConPrdGrps)
.JoinQueryOver<PrdGroupTree>(k => k.PrdGroupTree)
.JoinQueryOver<Product>(g => g.Products)
.Where(p => p.ProductID == Product.ProductID)
.And(() => innerDiscount.FomDato <= DateTime.Now
&& innerDiscount.TomDato >= DateTime.Now).List()
.Select( Projections.Property(() => innerDiscount.ID))
;
var query = session.QueryOver<Discount>(() => discount)
.Where(Subqueries.PropertyIn("ID", subQuery.DetachedCriteria))
;
