How do you check if a table exists with NHibernate(or Fluent)?

Question

Whats the best, most consistent way to check if a table exists in NHibernate (or with Fluent-NHibernate)?

Is it even possible? I mean it seems like a simple task for such a heavy-duty ORM.

Also on a related question, can you check if a set of tables or a whole schema exists with NHibernate?

Answer 1

If you store you NHibernate configuration somewhere or do it before you build your session factory it is possible to validate the generated schema against the database.

    public void ValidateSchema(Configuration config)
    {
        new SchemaValidator(config).Validate();
    }
