```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    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)

    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)

public String currentDate()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect

public String currentTime()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    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.

public String currentTimestamp()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    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.

    currentLocalTime in class Dialect
  - currentLocalTimestamp
```
public String currentLocalTimestamp()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    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 Dialect.currentTimestamp().
    It is recommended to override this in dialects for databases which support localtimestamp or current_timestamp at local.
    
    Overrides:
    
    currentLocalTimestamp in class Dialect
  - currentTimestampWithTimeZone
```
public String currentTimestampWithTimeZone()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    currentTimestampWithTimeZone in class Dialect
  - castPattern
```
public String castPattern(CastType from,
                          CastType to)
```
    Oracle doesn't have any sort of Types.BOOLEAN type or Types.TIME type, and its default behavior for casting dates and timestamps to and from strings is just awful.
    
    Overrides:

    Parameters:
    
    from - a CastType indicating the type of the value argument

  - extractPattern
```
public String extractPattern(TemporalUnit unit)
```
    Oracle supports a limited list of temporal fields in the extract() function, but we can emulate some of them by using to_char() with a format string instead of extract(). Thus, the additional supported fields are TemporalUnit.DAY_OF_YEAR, TemporalUnit.DAY_OF_MONTH, TemporalUnit.DAY_OF_YEAR, and TemporalUnit.WEEK.

```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    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:
    
    a "static" delegate based on the JDBC 4 defined SQLException hierarchy;
    
    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.
    Overrides:

    Returns:
    
    The SQLExceptionConversionDelegate for this dialect

    getReadLockString in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    aliases - The columns to be read locked.
    
    timeout - in milliseconds, -1 for indefinite wait and 0 for no wait.
    
    Returns:
    
    The appropriate LOCK clause string.
  - appendDatetimeFormat
```
public void appendDatetimeFormat(SqlAppender appender,
                                 String format)
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    Translate the given datetime format string from the pattern language defined by Java's DateTimeFormatter to whatever pattern language is understood by the native datetime formatting function for this database (often the to_char() function).
    Since it's never possible to translate all of the pattern letter sequences understood by DateTimeFormatter, only the following subset of pattern letters is accepted by Hibernate:
    
    G: era
    
    y: year of era
    
    Y: year of week-based year
    
    M: month of year
    
    w: week of week-based year (ISO week number)
    
    W: week of month
    
    E: day of week (name)
    
    e: day of week (number)
    
    d: day of month
    
    D: day of year
    
    a: AM/PM
    
    H: hour of day (24 hour time)
    
    h: hour of AM/PM (12 hour time)
    
    m: minutes
    
    s: seconds
    
    z,Z,x: timezone offset
    
    In addition, punctuation characters and single-quoted literal strings are accepted.
    Overrides:
    
    appendDatetimeFormat in class Dialect
  - datetimeFormat
```
public static Replacer datetimeFormat(String format,
                                      boolean useFm,
                                      boolean resetFm)
```
  - appendBinaryLiteral
```
public void appendBinaryLiteral(SqlAppender appender,
                                byte[] bytes)
```
    Overrides:
    
    appendBinaryLiteral in class Dialect
  - getResultSet
```
public ResultSet getResultSet(CallableStatement statement,
                              int position)
                       throws SQLException
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Given a callable statement previously processed by Dialect.registerResultSetOutParameter(java.sql.CallableStatement, int), extract the ResultSet.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getResultSet in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    statement - The callable statement.
    
    position - The bind position at which to register the output param.
    
    Returns:
    
    The extracted result set.
    
    Throws:
    
    SQLException - Indicates problems extracting the result set.
  - registerResultSetOutParameter
```
public int registerResultSetOutParameter(CallableStatement statement,
                                         String name)
                                  throws SQLException
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    registerResultSetOutParameter in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    statement - The callable statement.
    
    name - The parameter name (for drivers which support named parameters).
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of (contiguous) bind positions used.
    
    Throws:
    
    SQLException - Indicates problems registering the param.
  - getResultSet
```
public ResultSet getResultSet(CallableStatement statement,
                              String name)
                       throws SQLException
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Given a callable statement previously processed by Dialect.registerResultSetOutParameter(java.sql.CallableStatement, int), extract the ResultSet from the OUT parameter.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getResultSet in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    statement - The callable statement.
    
    name - The parameter name (for drivers which support named parameters).
    
    Returns:
    
    The extracted result set.
    
    Throws:
    
    SQLException - Indicates problems extracting the result set.
