Overrides:

getAddForeignKeyConstraintString in class Dialect

Parameters:

constraintName - The FK constraint name.

foreignKey - The names of the columns comprising the FK

referencedTable - The table referenced by the FK

primaryKey - The explicit columns in the referencedTable referenced by this FK.

referencesPrimaryKey - if false, constraint should be explicit about which column names the constraint refers to

supportsLimit

public boolean supportsLimit()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support some form of limiting query results via a SQL clause?

Overrides:

Description copied from class: Dialect

Apply s limit clause to the query.

Typically dialects utilize variable limit caluses when they support limits. Thus, when building the select command we do not actually need to know the limit or the offest since we will just be using placeholders.

Here we do still pass along whether or not an offset was specified so that dialects not supporting offsets can generate proper exceptions. In general, dialects will override one or the other of this method and Dialect.getLimitString(String, int, int).

Overrides:

getLimitString in class Dialect

Parameters:

sql - The query to which to apply the limit.

hasOffset - Is the query requesting an offset?

Returns:

the modified SQL

public boolean supportsIfExistsBeforeTableName()

Overrides:

supportsIfExistsBeforeTableName in class Dialect

getSelectGUIDString

Returns:

True if the current timestamp can be retrieved; false otherwise.

isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable

public boolean isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable()

Should the value returned by Dialect.getCurrentTimestampSelectString() be treated as callable. Typically this indicates that JDBC escape sytnax is being used...

Overrides:

isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable in class Dialect

Returns:

True if the Dialect.getCurrentTimestampSelectString() return is callable; false otherwise.

getCurrentTimestampSelectString

public String getCurrentTimestampSelectString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

The command.

registerResultSetOutParameter

public int registerResultSetOutParameter(CallableStatement statement,
                                         int col)
                                  throws SQLException

Description copied from class: Dialect

Registers an OUT parameter which will be returing a ResultSet. How this is accomplished varies greatly from DB to DB, hence its inclusion (along with Dialect.getResultSet(java.sql.CallableStatement)) here.

Overrides:

registerResultSetOutParameter in class Dialect

Parameters:

statement - The callable statement.

col - The bind position at which to register the OUT param.

Returns:

The number of (contiguous) bind positions used.

Throws:

SQLException - Indicates problems registering the OUT param.

getResultSet

public ResultSet getResultSet(CallableStatement ps)
                       throws SQLException

Overrides:

getResultSet in class Dialect

Parameters:

ps - The callable statement.

Returns:

The extracted result set.

Throws:

SQLException - Indicates problems extracting the result set.

supportsRowValueConstructorSyntax

public boolean supportsRowValueConstructorSyntax()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Is this dialect known to support what ANSI-SQL terms "row value constructor" syntax; sometimes called tuple syntax.

Basically, does it support syntax like "... where (FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME) = ('Steve', 'Ebersole') ...".

Overrides:

supportsRowValueConstructorSyntax in class Dialect

Returns:

True if this SQL dialect is known to support "row value constructor" syntax; false otherwise.

performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation

public Boolean performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does the dialect require that temporary table DDL statements occur in isolation from other statements? This would be the case if the creation would cause any current transaction to get committed implicitly.

JDBC defines a standard way to query for this information via the DatabaseMetaData.dataDefinitionCausesTransactionCommit() method. However, that does not distinguish between temporary table DDL and other forms of DDL; MySQL, for example, reports DDL causing a transaction commit via its driver, even though that is not the case for temporary table DDL.

Possible return values and their meanings:

• Boolean.TRUE - Unequivocally, perform the temporary table DDL in isolation.
• Boolean.FALSE - Unequivocally, do not perform the temporary table DDL in isolation.
• null - defer to the JDBC driver response in regards to DatabaseMetaData.dataDefinitionCausesTransactionCommit()

Overrides:

performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation in class Dialect

Returns:

see the result matrix above.

supportsEmptyInList

public boolean supportsEmptyInList()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support empty IN lists?

For example, is [where XYZ in ()] a supported construct?

Overrides:

supportsEmptyInList in class Dialect

Returns:

True if empty in lists are supported; false otherwise.

areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive

public boolean areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Are string comparisons implicitly case insensitive.

In other words, does [where 'XYZ' = 'xyz'] resolve to true?

Overrides:

areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive in class Dialect

Returns:

True if comparisons are case insensitive.

supportsLobValueChangePropogation

public boolean supportsLobValueChangePropogation()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does the dialect support propogating changes to LOB values back to the database? Talking about mutating the internal value of the locator as opposed to supplying a new locator instance...

For BLOBs, the internal value might be changed by: Blob.setBinaryStream(long), Blob.setBytes(long, byte[]), Blob.setBytes(long, byte[], int, int), or Blob.truncate(long).

For CLOBs, the internal value might be changed by: Clob.setAsciiStream(long), Clob.setCharacterStream(long), Clob.setString(long, String), Clob.setString(long, String, int, int), or Clob.truncate(long).

NOTE : I do not know the correct answer currently for databases which (1) are not part of the cruise control process or (2) do not Dialect.supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern().

Overrides:

supportsLobValueChangePropogation in class Dialect

Returns:

True if the changes are propogated back to the database; false otherwise.

supportsSubqueryOnMutatingTable

public boolean supportsSubqueryOnMutatingTable()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support referencing the table being mutated in a subquery. The "table being mutated" is the table referenced in an UPDATE or a DELETE query. And so can that table then be referenced in a subquery of said UPDATE/DELETE query.

For example, would the following two syntaxes be supported:

• delete from TABLE_A where ID not in ( select ID from TABLE_A )
• update TABLE_A set NON_ID = 'something' where ID in ( select ID from TABLE_A)

Overrides:

supportsSubqueryOnMutatingTable in class Dialect

Returns:

True if this dialect allows references the mutating table from a subquery.
