hibernate.dialect

19 September 2008

To set SQL dialect, one has to set the hibernate.dialect property to correct org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect subclass for the database.

Specify a dialect and then Hibernate will use defaults for some of the properties and this will save the effort of specifying them manually.

Following dialects are supported.

DB2	org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect
