Dealing with NHibernate System.IndexOutOfRangeException

Whenever I call SQL Server stored procedures from an NHibernate (3.2) application, I generate proxy methods that look like this

IList<T> MyProcedure<T>(ISession session
  , [some parameters]
)
{
  IQuery sp = session.CreateSQLQuery(@"BEGIN
    EXECUTE MyProcedure
            :SomeParameter
END")
    .AddEntity(typeof(T));
  sp.SetParameter<[datatype]>("SomeParameter", SomeParameter);
  ...;
  sp.SetResultTransformer(Transformers.RootEntity);
  //sp.SetTimeout(timeout);
  return sp.List<T>();
}

and manually create the data class MyProcedureResult and the corresponding mapping class MyProcedure_Result.

The SP is invoked like this:

var result = Procedures.MyProcedure<MyProcedureResult>(session, [parameters]);

This usually works, but recently I experienced an exception when calling a specific SP:

[Data]

As you can see, NH expects the column name [Data], which does not exist in the result set, causing GetOrdinal() to throw an exception.

What’s going on here?

Well, the stored procedure returns a result set containing the column name Data, but NH tries to find the column [Data].

After stepping through the source code of NH 3.2, I claim to partially understand how this happens.

When the entities and mappings are initialized, NH calls connection.GetSchema(DbMetaDataCollectionNames.ReservedWords) to check whether column names are reserved words. If a column name is found to be a reserved word, the name is flagged to be quoted and/or aliased when used in SQL.

If, however, the column name occurs in the result set of an SP, aliasing cannot be applied, and quoting is not required.

Quoting using backticks (`name`) as proposed on SO did not help either.

After many experiments, my solution was to simply rename the columns in the SP (DataX), and add a column name mapping

map.Column("DataX");

to the class map.
