Method Detail

requiresAliasForFromQuery
public boolean requiresAliasForFromQuery()
Description copied from interface:DialectReturns whether this Dialect requires subqueries in the FROM clause to have an alias.- Specified by:
 requiresAliasForFromQueryin interfaceDialect- Overrides:
 requiresAliasForFromQueryin classJdbcDialectImpl- Returns:
 - whether dialewct requires subqueries to have an alias
 - See Also:
 Dialect.allowsFromQuery()

generateOrderByNulls
protected String generateOrderByNulls(String expr, boolean ascending, boolean collateNullsLast)
Description copied from class:JdbcDialectImplGenerates 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 ENDYou 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:
 generateOrderByNullsin classJdbcDialectImpl- 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.
 
 
- 
getDatabaseProduct
public Dialect.DatabaseProduct getDatabaseProduct()
Description copied from interface:DialectReturns the database for this Dialect, orDialect.DatabaseProduct.UNKNOWNif the database is not a common database.- Specified by:
 getDatabaseProductin interfaceDialect- Overrides:
 getDatabaseProductin classJdbcDialectImpl- Returns:
 - Database
 
 
- 
allowsRegularExpressionInWhereClause
public boolean allowsRegularExpressionInWhereClause()
Description copied from interface:DialectInforms Mondrian if the dialect supports regular expressions when creating the 'where' or the 'having' clause.- Specified by:
 allowsRegularExpressionInWhereClausein interfaceDialect- Overrides:
 allowsRegularExpressionInWhereClausein classJdbcDialectImpl- Returns:
 - True if regular expressions are supported.
 
 
- 
generateRegularExpression
public String generateRegularExpression(String source, String javaRegex)
Description copied from interface:DialectMust generate a String representing a regular expression match operation between a string literal and a Java regular expression. The string literal might be a column identifier or some other identifier, but the implementation must presume that it is already escaped and fit for use. The regular expression is not escaped and must be adapted to the proper dialect rules.Postgres / Greenplum example:
generateRegularExpression( "'foodmart'.'customer_name'", "(?i).*oo.*") -> 'foodmart'.'customer_name' ~ "(?i).*oo.*"Oracle example:
generateRegularExpression( "'foodmart'.'customer_name'", ".*oo.*") -> REGEXP_LIKE('foodmart'.'customer_name', ".*oo.*")Dialects are allowed to return null if the dialect cannot convert that particular regular expression into something that the database would support.
- Specified by:
 generateRegularExpressionin interfaceDialect- Overrides:
 generateRegularExpressionin classJdbcDialectImpl- Parameters:
 source- A String identifying the column to match against.javaRegex- A Java regular expression to match against.- Returns:
 - A dialect specific matching operation, or null if the dialect cannot convert that particular regular expression into something that the database would support.
 
 
- 
getType
public SqlStatement.Type getType(ResultSetMetaData metaData, int columnIndex) throws SQLException
Description copied from interface:DialectChooses the most appropriate type for accessing the values of a column in a result set for a dialect.
Dialect-specific nuances involving type representation should be encapsulated in implementing methods. For example, if a dialect has implicit rules involving scale or precision, they should be handled within this method so the client can simply retrieve the "best fit" SqlStatement.Type for the column.
- Specified by:
 getTypein interfaceDialect- Overrides:
 getTypein classJdbcDialectImpl- Parameters:
 metaData- Results set metadatacolumnIndex- Column ordinal (0-based)- Returns:
 - the most appropriate SqlStatement.Type for the column
 - Throws:
 SQLException
