OrmLite can be extended to support new Types using SQL Server Special Type Converters which currently adds support for the SQL Server-specific
SqlGeography,
SqlGeometry
and
SqlHierarchyId
Types.
Since these Types require an external dependency to the Microsoft.SqlServer.Types NuGet package they're
contained in a separate NuGet package that can be installed with:
In addition to using SqlServer2012Dialect.Provider you'll also need to specify you're using MSSQL 2012 on the connection string by adding the ;Type System Version=SQL Server 2012; suffix, e.g:
vardbFactory=newOrmLiteConnectionFactory("Server=host;Database=db;User Id=sa;Password=test;Type System Version=SQL Server 2012",SqlServer2012Dialect.Provider);vardb=dbFactory.OpenDbConnection();
Example Usage
After the Converters are registered they can treated like a normal .NET Type, e.g:
SqlHierarchyId Example:
publicclassNode{[AutoIncrement]publiclongId{get;set;}publicSqlHierarchyIdTreeId{get;set;}}db.DropAndCreateTable<Node>();vartreeId=SqlHierarchyId.Parse("/1/1/3/");// 0x5ADE is hexdb.Insert(newNode{TreeId=treeId});varparent=db.Scalar<SqlHierarchyId>(db.From<Node>().Select("TreeId.GetAncestor(1)"));parent.ToString().Print();//= /1/1/
SqlGeography and SqlGeometry Example:
publicclassGeoTest{publiclongId{get;set;}publicSqlGeographyLocation{get;set;}publicSqlGeometryShape{get;set;}}db.DropAndCreateTable<GeoTest>();vargeo=SqlGeography.Point(40.6898329,-74.0452177,4326);// Statue of Liberty// A simple line from (0,0) to (4,4) Length = SQRT(2 * 4^2)varwkt=newSystem.Data.SqlTypes.SqlChars("LINESTRING(0 0,4 4)".ToCharArray());varshape=SqlGeometry.STLineFromText(wkt,0);db.Insert(newGeoTestTable{Id=1,Location=geo,Shape=shape});vardbShape=db.SingleById<GeoTest>(1).Shape;new{dbShape.STEndPoint().STX,dbShape.STEndPoint().STY}.PrintDump();
Output:
{
STX: 4,
STY: 4
}
Memory Optimized Tables
OrmLite allows access to many other advanced SQL Server features including
Memory-Optimized Tables where you can tell
SQL Server to maintain specific tables in Memory using the [SqlServerMemoryOptimized] attribute, e.g:
The [SqlServerBucketCount] attribute can be used to
configure the bucket count for a hash index
whilst the new [SqlServerCollate] attribute can be used to specify an SQL Server collation.
