FirebirdDialect

public FirebirdDialect(Connection connection)
                throws SQLException

Creates a FirebirdDialect.

Parameters:

connection - Connection

Throws:

SQLException

Method Detail

allowsAs

public boolean allowsAs()

Description copied from interface: Dialect

Returns whether the SQL dialect allows "AS" in the FROM clause. If so, "SELECT * FROM t AS alias" is a valid query.

Specified by:

allowsAs in interface Dialect

Overrides:

allowsAs in class JdbcDialectImpl

Returns:

whether dialect allows AS in FROM clause

generateOrderByNulls

public String generateOrderByNulls(String expr,
                                   boolean ascending,
                                   boolean collateNullsLast)

Description copied from class: JdbcDialectImpl

Generates SQL to force null values to collate last.

This default implementation makes use of the ANSI SQL 1999 CASE-WHEN-THEN-ELSE in conjunction with IS NULL syntax. The resulting SQL will look something like this:

CASE WHEN "expr" IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END

You can override this method for a particular database to use something more efficient, like ISNULL().

ANSI SQL provides the syntax "ASC/DESC NULLS LAST" and "ASC/DESC NULLS FIRST". If your database supports the ANSI syntax, implement this method by calling JdbcDialectImpl.generateOrderByNullsAnsi(java.lang.String, boolean, boolean).

This method is only called from JdbcDialectImpl.generateOrderItem(String, boolean, boolean, boolean). Some dialects override that method and therefore never call this method.

Overrides:

generateOrderByNulls in class JdbcDialectImpl

Parameters:

expr - Expression.

ascending - Whether ascending.

collateNullsLast - Whether nulls should appear first or last.

Returns:

Expression to force null values to collate last or first.
