        Overrides:

      • supportsSequences

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

      • getSelectSequenceNextValString

        public java.lang.String getSelectSequenceNextValString​(java.lang.String sequenceName)
        Description copied from class: Dialect
        Generate the select expression fragment that will retrieve 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 java.lang.String getSequenceNextValString​(java.lang.String sequenceName)
        Description copied from class: Dialect
        Generate the appropriate select statement to to retrieve 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 java.lang.String getCreateSequenceString​(java.lang.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 java.lang.String getDropSequenceString​(java.lang.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

        Overrides:
        getQuerySequencesString in class Dialect
        Returns:
        The select command; or null if sequences are not supported.

        Overrides:
        supportsVariableLimit in class Dialect

        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

                                               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

        Returns:
