NHibernate AssertException: Interceptor.OnPrepareStatement(SqlString) returned null or empty SqlString

Question

I am trying to switch a table from being a many-to-one mapping to being many-to-many with an intermediate mapping table. However, when I switched it over and tried to do a query on it with NHibernate, it's giving me this error: "Interceptor.OnPrepareStatement(SqlString) returned null or empty SqlString."

My query was originally something more complex, but I switched it to a basic fetch all and I'm still having the problem:

Session.QueryOver<T>().Future();

It would seem to either be a problem in my model mapping files or something in my database.

Here are my model mappings:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" assembly="GBI.Core" namespace="GBI.Core.Models">

<class name="Market" table="gbi_Market">

        <one-to-many class="MarketFastFact" />
    </set>

    <set name="NewsItems" table="gbi_NewsItem_Market_Map" lazy="true">
        <key column="MarketId" />

    </set>

    <!--<set name="MarketUpdates" table="gbi_Market_MarketUpdate_Map" lazy="extra">

    </set>
</class>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" assembly="GBI.Core" namespace="GBI.Core.Models">

    <!--<many-to-one name="Market" column="MarketId" lazy="proxy"></many-to-one>-->

    <set name="Comments" where="IsDeleted=0" order-by="CreatedOn desc" lazy="extra">

    </set>

    <many-to-one name="CreatedBy" column="CreatedBy" lazy="proxy"></many-to-one>
    <many-to-one name="ModifiedBy" column="ModifiedBy" lazy="proxy"></many-to-one>
</class>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2" assembly="GBI.Core" namespace="GBI.Core.Models">

    <property name="CreatedOn" />
    <property name="ModifiedOn" />
    <property name="IsDeleted" />

    <many-to-one name="CreatedBy" column="CreatedBy" lazy="proxy"></many-to-one>
    <many-to-one name="ModifiedBy" column="ModifiedBy" lazy="proxy"></many-to-one>

    <many-to-one name="MarketUpdate" column="MarketUpdateId" lazy="proxy"></many-to-one>
    <many-to-one name="Market" column="MarketId" lazy="proxy"></many-to-one>
</class>

As I mentioned, MarketUpdate was originally a many-to-one with Market (MarketId column is still in there, but I'm ignoring it. Could this be a problem?). But I've added in the Market_MarketUpdate_Map table to make it a many-to-many.

I'm running in circles trying to figure out what this could be. I couldn't find any reference to this error when searching. And it doesn't provide much detail.

Using:

NHibernate 2.2

.NET 4.0

SQL Server 2005

Answer 1

Turns out the problem was just that the xml mapping file was set as content instead of embedded resource in visual studio. Changing that fixed all my problems.

Answer 2

If you're using Fluent rather than xml for mappings and encounter this issue, try deleting the generated xml files in %root%\LocalCache\NHibernate.
