Edit Question
Title
Body
As a new user of nHibernate and its utility library, fluent nhibernate, I am trying to learn enough to be dangerous with a good database. I am having an exceptionally great deal of difficulty understanding the concept of Projections . Specifically, What in the world are they? I have literally done exact searches on ' What are projections? ' and ' Projects in nHibernate ' and ' nHibernate, Projections, Definition ', etc. And I am still very confused. The most helpful posts so far are This other StackOverflow Question and This Blog Post by Colin Ramsay . But I am still vastly confused. My knowledge of databases is still entry-level at best. I do not really understand what projections are, why I would want to use them, what they are accomplishing, etc. I see in the blog post that he is using them to get a list of integers (I presume Primary Keys) so that he can use them in a different query, but this is kind of nebulous in the way it is functioning and the why.
