      • initializeFunctionRegistry

        public void initializeFunctionRegistry​(QueryEngine queryEngine)
        Initialize the given registry with any dialect-specific functions. Support for certain SQL functions is required, and if the database does not support a required function, then the dialect must define a way to emulate it. These required functions include the functions defined by the JPA query language specification:
        • avg(arg) - aggregate function
        • count([distinct ]arg) - aggregate function
        • max(arg) - aggregate function
        • min(arg) - aggregate function
        • sum(arg) - aggregate function
        • coalesce(arg0, arg1, ...)
        • nullif(arg0, arg1)
        • lower(arg)
        • upper(arg)
        • length(arg)
        • concat(arg0, arg1, ...)
        • locate(pattern, string[, start])
        • substring(string, start[, length])
        • trim([[spec ][character ]from] string)
        • abs(arg)
        • mod(arg0, arg1)
        • sqrt(arg)
        • current date
        • current time
        • current timestamp
        Along with an additional set of functions defined by ANSI SQL:
        • any(arg) - aggregate function
        • every(arg) - aggregate function
        • cast(arg as Type)
        • extract(field from arg)
        • ln(arg)
        • exp(arg)
        • power(arg0, arg1)
        • floor(arg)
        • ceiling(arg)
        • position(pattern in string)
        • substring(string from start[ for length])
        • overlay(string placing replacement from start[ for length])
        And the following functions for working with java.time types:
        • local date
        • local time
        • local datetime
        • offset datetime
        • instant
        And a number of additional "standard" functions:
        • left(string, length)
        • right(string, length)
        • replace(string, pattern, replacement)
        • pad(string with length spec[ character])
        • sign(arg)
        • sin(arg)
        • cos(arg)
        • tan(arg)
        • asin(arg)
        • acos(arg)
        • atan(arg)
        • atan2(arg0, arg1)
        • round(arg0, arg1)
        • least(arg0, arg1, ...)
        • greatest(arg0, arg1, ...)
        • format(datetime as pattern)
        • str(arg) - synonym of cast(a as String)
        • ifnull(arg0, arg1) - synonym of coalesce(a, b)
        Finally, the following functions are defined as abbreviations for extract(), and desugared by the parser:
        • second(arg) - synonym of extract(second from a)
        • minute(arg) - synonym of extract(minute from a)
        • hour(arg) - synonym of extract(hour from a)
        • day(arg) - synonym of extract(day from a)
        • month(arg) - synonym of extract(month from a)
        • year(arg) - synonym of extract(year from a)

      • currentDate

        public String currentDate()
        Translation of the HQL/JPQL current_date function, which maps to the Java type java.sql.Date, and of the HQL local_date function which maps to the Java type java.sql.LocalDate.

      • currentTime

        public String currentTime()
        Translation of the HQL/JPQL current_time function, which maps to the Java type java.sql.Time which is a time with no time zone. This contradicts ANSI SQL where current_time has the type TIME WITH TIME ZONE.

        It is recommended to override this in dialects for databases which support localtime or time at local.

      • currentTimestamp

        public String currentTimestamp()
        Translation of the HQL/JPQL current_timestamp function, which maps to the Java type java.sql.Timestamp which is a datetime with no time zone. This contradicts ANSI SQL where current_timestamp has the type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

        It is recommended to override this in dialects for databases which support localtimestamp or timestamp at local.

      • currentLocalTime

        public String currentLocalTime()
        Translation of the HQL local_time function, which maps to the Java type java.time.LocalTime which is a time with no time zone. It should usually be the same SQL function as for currentTime().

        It is recommended to override this in dialects for databases which support localtime or current_time at local.

      • currentLocalTimestamp

        public String currentLocalTimestamp()
        Translation of the HQL local_datetime function, which maps to the Java type java.time.LocalDateTime which is a datetime with no time zone. It should usually be the same SQL function as for currentTimestamp().

        It is recommended to override this in dialects for databases which support localtimestamp or current_timestamp at local.

      • currentTimestampWithTimeZone

        public String currentTimestampWithTimeZone()
        Translation of the HQL offset_datetime function, which maps to the Java type java.time.OffsetDateTime which is a datetime with a time zone. This in principle correctly maps to the ANSI SQL current_timestamp which has the type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

        Do the given JDBC type codes, as defined in Types represent essentially the same type in this dialect of SQL? The default implementation treats NUMERIC and DECIMAL as the same type, and FLOAT, REAL, and DOUBLE as essentially the same type, since the ANSI SQL specification fails to meaningfully distinguish them.
        Parameters:
        typeCode1 - the first JDBC type code

If true, the param position is always handled as the last parameter; if the dialect specifies the lock timeout elsewhere in the SQL statement then the timeout value should be directly rendered into the statement and this method should return false.
        Returns:
        True if the lock timeout is rendered into the SQL string as a parameter; false otherwise.

        Returns:
        The command used to create a multiset table.

        Registers a parameter (either OUT, or the new REF_CURSOR param type available in Java 8) capable of returning ResultSet *by position*. Pre-Java 8, registering such ResultSet-returning parameters varied greatly across database and drivers; hence its inclusion as part of the Dialect contract.
        Parameters:
        statement - The callable statement.
        position - The bind position at which to register the output param.
        Returns:

        Registers a parameter (either OUT, or the new REF_CURSOR param type available in Java 8) capable of returning ResultSet *by name*. Pre-Java 8, registering such ResultSet-returning parameters varied greatly across database and drivers; hence its inclusion as part of the Dialect contract.
        Parameters:
        statement - The callable statement.
        name - The parameter name (for drivers which support named parameters).
        Returns:
        The number of (contiguous) bind positions used.

      • buildSQLExceptionConversionDelegate

        public SQLExceptionConversionDelegate buildSQLExceptionConversionDelegate()
        Build an instance of a SQLExceptionConversionDelegate for interpreting dialect-specific error or SQLState codes.

        If this method is overridden to return a non-null value, the default SQLExceptionConverter will use the returned SQLExceptionConversionDelegate in addition to the following standard delegates:

        1. a "static" delegate based on the JDBC 4 defined SQLException hierarchy;
        2. a delegate that interprets SQLState codes for either X/Open or SQL-2003 codes, depending on java.sql.DatabaseMetaData#getSQLStateType

        It is strongly recommended that specific Dialect implementations override this method, since interpretation of a SQL error is much more accurate when based on the vendor-specific ErrorCode rather than the SQLState.

        Specific Dialects may override to return whatever is most appropriate for that vendor.

        Returns:
        The SQLExceptionConversionDelegate for this dialect

        sqlType - The Types type code.
        Returns:
        The appropriate select clause value fragment.

      • getMaxAliasLength

        public int getMaxAliasLength()
        What is the maximum length Hibernate can use for generated aliases?

        The maximum here should account for the fact that Hibernate often needs to append "uniqueing" information to the end of generated aliases. That "uniqueing" information will be added to the end of a identifier generated to the length specified here; so be sure to leave some room (generally speaking 5 positions will suffice).

        Returns:
        The maximum length.

Certain drivers do not allow access to these methods for forward only cursors.

        NOTE : this is highly driver dependent!

        Returns:
        True if methods like ResultSet.isAfterLast() and ResultSet.isBeforeFirst() are supported for forward only cursors; false otherwise.
        Since:
        3.2

        True if subselects can appear as the LHS of an in-predicate; false otherwise.
        Since:
        3.2

      • supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern

        public boolean supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern()
        Expected LOB usage pattern is such that I can perform an insert via prepared statement with a parameter binding for a LOB value without crazy casting to JDBC driver implementation-specific classes...

        Part of the trickiness here is the fact that this is largely driver dependent. For example, Oracle (which is notoriously bad with LOB support in their drivers historically) actually does a pretty good job with LOB support as of the 10.2.x versions of their drivers...

        Returns:
        True if normal LOB usage patterns can be used with this driver; false if driver-specific hookiness needs to be applied.
        Since:
        3.2

      • supportsUnboundedLobLocatorMaterialization

        public boolean supportsUnboundedLobLocatorMaterialization()
        Is it supported to materialize a LOB locator outside the transaction in which it was created?

        Again, part of the trickiness here is the fact that this is largely driver dependent.

        NOTE: all database I have tested which supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern() also support the ability to materialize a LOB outside the owning transaction...

        Returns:
        True if unbounded materialization is supported; false otherwise.
        Since:
        3.2

        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)
        Returns:

      • isEmptyStringTreatedAsNull

        public boolean isEmptyStringTreatedAsNull()
        Return whether the dialect considers an empty-string value as null.
        Returns:
