In a scenario such as Customers - Orders - Order Details, have have many
people creating Customer records independently. There are now duplicates of
companies that users have created that people would like to merge together
into one (the proper) record. Historically, I have used
Session.CreateSQLQuery(" ... ") to do migrate the old record to the new one
and then delete the old one. But, as we add to the object graph, the method
for merging them gets to be laborious and a task where it is often
forgotten until we are receiving "No row with the given identifier exists"
exceptions because of something we have forgot to add to the series of
update statements. I am wondering if there is a native mechanism within
NHibernate to merge the two records into a single one that would take care
of all the cascading across the object graphs?

TIA,
