Enum Class SQLDialect

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<SQLDialect>
org.jooq.SQLDialect
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<SQLDialect>, Constable
public enum SQLDialect extends Enum<SQLDialect>
Dialects and dialect families as supported by jOOQ.

The commercial jOOQ distributions support a variety of dialects, which are grouped into dialect families. For instance, the PostgreSQL dialect family POSTGRES is specialised by its dialects

The open source jOOQ distributions only support the dialect family, which corresponds to the latest supported dialect version of the commercial distribution. A full list of mappings between dialect families and latest supported version can be seen here https://www.jooq.org/download/support-matrix.

If a dialect is documented but does not seem to be available in your jOOQ Edition, you may be using the wrong edition, e.g. because of a transitive dependency introduced by Spring Boot. See this article about how to exclude such transitive dependencies from your classpath https://blog.jooq.org/how-to-use-jooqs-commercial-distributions-with-spring-boot/.

    • commercial

      public final boolean commercial()
      Whether this dialect is supported with the jOOQ commercial license only.

    • supported

      public final boolean supported()
      Whether this dialect is supported by jOOQ as an output dialect.

      Unsupported, non-output dialects include:

    • family

      @NotNull public final @NotNull SQLDialect family()
      The dialect family.

      This returns the dialect itself, if it has no "parent family". E.g. 

      
 SQLSERVER == SQLSERVER2012.family();
 SQLSERVER == SQLSERVER2008.family();
 SQLSERVER == SQLSERVER.family();

    • category

      @NotNull public final @NotNull SQLDialectCategory category()
      The dialect category.

    • isFamily

      public final boolean isFamily()
      Whether this dialect is a family().

    • isVersioned

      public final boolean isVersioned()
      Whether this dialect is a versioned dialect or a family with versioned dialects.

    • predecessor

      @NotNull public final @NotNull SQLDialect predecessor()
      The predecessor dialect.

      If this is a dialect version (e.g. POSTGRES_9_4) within a family (e.g. POSTGRES), then the predecessor will point to the historically previous dialect version (e.g. POSTGRES_9_3) within the same family, or to the dialect itself if there was no predecessor explicitly supported by jOOQ.

    • predecessors

      @NotNull public final @NotNull Set<SQLDialect> predecessors()
      The predecessor dialects.

      Recursively calls predecessor() and finds all the preceding dialects to this one, including this one.

    • precedes

      public final boolean precedes(SQLDialect other)
      Whether this dialect precedes an other dialect from the same family.

      This returns:

      • true if this dialect is the same as the other dialect
      • true if this dialect precedes the other dialect via any number of calls to predecessor()
      The above also implies that:
      • false if the two dialects do not belong to the same family

      This is useful to see if some feature is supported by "at least" a given dialect version. Example: 

      
 // Do this block only if the chosen dialect supports PostgreSQL 9.4+ features
 if (POSTGRES_9_4.precedes(dialect)) {
 }

 // Do this block only if the chosen dialect supports PostgreSQL 9.3+ features
 else if (POSTGRES_9_3.precedes(dialect)) {
 }

 // Fall back to pre-PostgreSQL 9.3 behaviour
 else {
 }

    • precedesStrictly

      public final boolean precedesStrictly(SQLDialect other)
      Whether this dialect strictly precedes an other dialect from the same family.

      This returns:

      • false if this dialect is the same as the other dialect
      • true if this dialect precedes the other dialect via any number of calls to predecessor()
      The above also implies that:
      • false if the two dialects do not belong to the same family

      This is useful to see if some feature is supported by "at least" a given dialect version. Example: 

       
 // Do this block only if the chosen dialect was before PostgreSQL 9.3-
 if (dialect.precedesStrictly(POSTGRES_9_3)) {
 }

 // Do this block only if the chosen dialect was before PostgreSQL 9.4-
 else if (dialect.precedesStrictly(POSTGRES_9_4)) {
 }

 // Fall back to post-PostgreSQL 9.4+ behaviour
 else {
 }

    • supports

      public final boolean supports(SQLDialect other)
      Check whether this dialect supports another one.

      This is:

      • false if dialects don't belong to the same family
      • true if either dialect isFamily()
      • true if other dialect precedes this dialect

      The other argument dialect is typically referenced from a Support annotation, whereas this dialect is the user dialect.

    • supports

      @Deprecated(forRemoval=true, since="3.14") public final boolean supports(Collection<SQLDialect> other)
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      - [#9882] - 3.14.0 - Use supportedBy(SQLDialect...) instead
      Check whether this dialect supports any dialect from the argument collection.

    • supportsDatabaseVersion

      public final boolean supportsDatabaseVersion(int majorVersion, int minorVersion, String productVersion)
      Check if this SQLDialect supports a JDBC DatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseMajorVersion(), DatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseMinorVersion(), patch version.

    • getName

      @NotNull public final @NotNull String getName()
      The name of this dialect as it appears in related class names.

    • getNameLC

      @NotNull public final @NotNull String getNameLC()
      The name of this dialect as it appears in related package names.

    • getNameUC

      @NotNull public final @NotNull String getNameUC()
      The name of this dialect as it appears in related enum values.

    • thirdParty

      @NotNull public final @NotNull SQLDialect.ThirdParty thirdParty()
      Get access to third party representations of this SQLDialect.
