Returns:

The "add column" fragment.

supportsSequences

public boolean supportsSequences()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support sequences?

Overrides:

getSelectSequenceNextValString

public String getSelectSequenceNextValString(String sequenceName)

Description copied from class: Dialect

Generate the select expression fragment that will retreive the next value of a sequence as part of another (typically DML) statement.

This differs from Dialect.getSequenceNextValString(String) in that this should return an expression usable within another statement.

Overrides:

getSelectSequenceNextValString in class Dialect

Parameters:

sequenceName - the name of the sequence

Returns:

The "nextval" fragment.

getSequenceNextValString

public String getSequenceNextValString(String sequenceName)

Description copied from class: Dialect

Generate the appropriate select statement to to retreive the next value of a sequence.

This should be a "stand alone" select statement.

Overrides:

getSequenceNextValString in class Dialect

Parameters:

sequenceName - the name of the sequence

Returns:

String The "nextval" select string.

getCreateSequenceString

public String getCreateSequenceString(String sequenceName)

Description copied from class: Dialect

Typically dialects which support sequences can create a sequence with a single command. This is convenience form of Dialect.getCreateSequenceStrings(java.lang.String) to help facilitate that.

Dialects which support sequences and can create a sequence in a single command need *only* override this method. Dialects which support sequences but require multiple commands to create a sequence should instead override Dialect.getCreateSequenceStrings(java.lang.String).

Overrides:

getCreateSequenceString in class Dialect

Parameters:

sequenceName - The name of the sequence

Returns:

The sequence creation command

getDropSequenceString

public String getDropSequenceString(String sequenceName)

Description copied from class: Dialect

Typically dialects which support sequences can drop a sequence with a single command. This is convenience form of Dialect.getDropSequenceStrings(java.lang.String) to help facilitate that.

Dialects which support sequences and can drop a sequence in a single command need *only* override this method. Dialects which support sequences but require multiple commands to drop a sequence should instead override Dialect.getDropSequenceStrings(java.lang.String).

Overrides:

getDropSequenceString in class Dialect

Parameters:

sequenceName - The name of the sequence

Returns:

The sequence drop commands

getQuerySequencesString

public String getQuerySequencesString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Get the select command used retrieve the names of all sequences.

Overrides:

getQuerySequencesString in class Dialect

Returns:

The select command; or null if sequences are not supported.

Description copied from class: Dialect

Create a JoinFragment strategy responsible for handling this dialect's variations in how joins are handled.

Overrides:

createOuterJoinFragment in class Dialect

Returns:

This dialect's JoinFragment strategy.

getForUpdateString

public String getForUpdateString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Get the string to append to SELECT statements to acquire locks for this dialect.

Overrides:

getForUpdateString in class Dialect

Returns:

The appropriate FOR UPDATE clause string.

supportsColumnCheck

public boolean supportsColumnCheck()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support column-level check constraints?

Overrides:

supportsColumnCheck in class Dialect

Returns:

True if column-level CHECK constraints are supported; false otherwise.

supportsTableCheck

public boolean supportsTableCheck()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support table-level check constraints?

Overrides:

supportsTableCheck in class Dialect

Returns:

True if table-level CHECK constraints are supported; false otherwise.

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.

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.

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 Dialect

Returns:

True if this dialect supports some form of LIMIT.

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 Dialect

Returns:

True if limit is relative from offset; false otherwise.

getLimitString

public String getLimitString(String querySelect,
                             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:

querySelect - 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.

supportsCurrentTimestampSelection

public boolean supportsCurrentTimestampSelection()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support a way to retrieve the database's current timestamp value?

Overrides:

supportsCurrentTimestampSelection in class Dialect

Returns:

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

getCurrentTimestampSelectString

public String getCurrentTimestampSelectString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Overrides:

getCurrentTimestampSelectString in class Dialect

Returns:

The command.

isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable

public boolean isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable()

Description copied from class: Dialect

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
