What is NHibernate Second-level cache synchronization?

It is a mechanism where NCache monitors the database for changes and automatically invalidates or reloads cached NHibernate items to prevent stale data.

Can I use SQL statements to trigger NHibernate cache updates?

Yes, NCache allows you to define SQL-based dependencies in the NCacheNHibernate.xml file to track specific entities and their corresponding data changes in the database.

How does NCache handle database changes for NHibernate?

When a change is detected in the database, NCache either invalidates the corresponding cached item or reloads it based on the synchronization settings defined in the application configuration.

Synchronize Database with Second-level NHibernate Cache

NCache ensures data integrity for NHibernate applications by providing real-time database synchronization. This mechanism allows the NHibernate Second-level Cache to monitor changes in the underlying database, automatically invalidating or reloading cached entities when data is modified.

Configure NHibernate Second-level Cache Provider

You can configure NHibernate Second-level Cache Provider for NCache to use database synchronization. Just modify NCacheNHibernate.xml configuration file as follows:

 <configuration>
   <application-config application-id="myapp" enable-cache-exception="true" default-region-name="default" key-case-sensitivity="false">

    <database-dependencies>
      <dependency entity-name="nhibernator.BLL.Customer" type="sql" sql-statement="SELECT ContactName FROM dbo.Customers WHERE CustomerID =?" cache-key-format="depdency.customer:[us]"/>
    </database-dependencies>

  </application-config>
 </configuration>
