Class FrontBaseDialect

org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect

org.hibernate.dialect.FrontBaseDialect

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConversionContext

public class FrontBaseDialect
extends Dialect

An SQL Dialect for Frontbase. Assumes you're using the latest version of the FrontBase JDBC driver, available from http://frontbase.com/

NOTE: The latest JDBC driver is not always included with the latest release of FrontBase. Download the driver separately, and enjoy the informative release notes.

This dialect was tested with JDBC driver version 2.3.1. This driver contains a bug that causes batches of updates to fail. (The bug should be fixed in the next release of the JDBC driver.) If you are using JDBC driver 2.3.1, you can work-around this problem by setting the following in your hibernate.properties file: hibernate.jdbc.batch_size=15

Constructs a FrontBaseDialect

Method Detail

getAddColumnString

public String getAddColumnString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

The syntax used to add a column to a table (optional).

Overrides:

getAddColumnString in class Dialect

Returns:

The "add column" fragment.

getCascadeConstraintsString

public String getCascadeConstraintsString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Completely optional cascading drop clause

Overrides:

getCascadeConstraintsString in class Dialect

Returns:

String

dropConstraints

public boolean dropConstraints()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Do we need to drop constraints before dropping tables in this dialect?

Overrides:

dropConstraints in class Dialect

Returns:

True if constraints must be dropped prior to dropping the table; false otherwise.

getForUpdateString

public String getForUpdateString()

FrontBase doesn't support this syntax, which was dropped with SQL92.

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.

getCurrentTimestampSelectString

public String getCurrentTimestampSelectString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Retrieve the command used to retrieve the current timestamp from the database.

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 syntax is being used...

Overrides:

isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable in class Dialect

Returns:

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

getLockingStrategy

public LockingStrategy getLockingStrategy(Lockable lockable,
                                 LockMode lockMode)

Description copied from class: Dialect

Get a strategy instance which knows how to acquire a database-level lock of the specified mode for this dialect.

Overrides:

getLockingStrategy in class Dialect

Parameters:

lockable - The persister for the entity to be locked.

lockMode - The type of lock to be acquired.

Returns:

The appropriate locking strategy.
