Constructor Detail

DB2400Dialect

public DB2400Dialect()
Method Detail

supportsSequences

public boolean supportsSequences()
Description copied from class: Dialect
Does this dialect support sequences?

Overrides:
supportsSequences in class DB2Dialect
Returns:
True if sequences supported; false otherwise.

getIdentitySelectString

public String getIdentitySelectString()
Description copied from class: Dialect
Get the select command to use to retrieve the last generated IDENTITY value.

Overrides:
getIdentitySelectString in class DB2Dialect
Returns:
The appropriate select command

supportsLimit

public boolean supportsLimit()
Description copied from class: Dialect
Does this dialect support some form of limiting query results via a SQL clause?

Overrides:
supportsLimit in class DB2Dialect
Returns:
True if this dialect supports some form of LIMIT.

supportsLimitOffset

public boolean supportsLimitOffset()
Description copied from class: Dialect
Does this dialect's LIMIT support (if any) additionally support specifying an offset?

Overrides:
supportsLimitOffset in class Dialect
Returns:
True if the dialect supports an offset within the limit support.

getLimitString

public String getLimitString(String sql,
                             int offset,
                             int limit)
Description copied from class: Dialect
Given a limit and an offset, apply the limit clause to the query.

Overrides:
getLimitString in class Dialect
Parameters:
sql - The query to which to apply the limit.
offset - The offset of the limit
limit - The limit of the limit ;)
Returns:
The modified query statement with the limit applied.

useMaxForLimit

public boolean useMaxForLimit()
Description copied from class: Dialect
Does the LIMIT clause take a "maximum" row number instead of a total number of returned rows?

This is easiest understood via an example. Consider you have a table with 20 rows, but you only want to retrieve rows number 11 through 20. Generally, a limit with offset would say that the offset = 11 and the limit = 10 (we only want 10 rows at a time); this is specifying the total number of returned rows. Some dialects require that we instead specify offset = 11 and limit = 20, where 20 is the "last" row we want relative to offset (i.e. total number of rows = 20 - 11 = 9)

So essentially, is limit relative from offset? Or is limit absolute?

Overrides:
useMaxForLimit in class DB2Dialect
Returns:
True if limit is relative from offset; false otherwise.

supportsVariableLimit

public boolean supportsVariableLimit()
Description copied from class: Dialect
Does this dialect support bind variables (i.e., prepared statememnt parameters) for its limit/offset?

Overrides:
supportsVariableLimit in class Dialect
Returns:
True if bind variables can be used; false otherwise.
