                                                   String referencedTable,
                                                   String[] primaryKey,

                                 boolean hasOffset)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Apply s limit clause to the query.

  Typically dialects utilize `variable` limit clauses when they support limits. Thus, when building the select command we do not actually need to know the limit or the offest since we will just be using placeholders.

  Here we do still pass along whether or not an offset was specified so that dialects not supporting offsets can generate proper exceptions. In general, dialects will override one or the other of this method and `Dialect.getLimitString(String, int, int)`.

  Overrides:
    `getLimitString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `sql` - The query to which to apply the limit.
    `hasOffset` - Is the query requesting an offset?
  Returns:
    the modified SQL

    The dialect's specific close quote character.

### openQuote

    public char openQuote()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  The character specific to this dialect used to begin a quoted identifier.

  Overrides:
    `openQuote` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    The dialect's specific open quote character.

### supportsIfExistsBeforeTableName

    public boolean supportsIfExistsBeforeTableName()

  Overrides:
    `supportsIfExistsBeforeTableName` in class `Dialect`

### getSelectGUIDString

    public String getSelectGUIDString()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`

  Does this dialect support temporary tables?

  Overrides:
    `supportsTemporaryTables` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if temp tables are supported; false otherwise.

### getCreateTemporaryTableString

    public String getCreateTemporaryTableString()

### getDropTemporaryTableString

    public String getDropTemporaryTableString()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Command used to drop a temporary table.

  Overrides:
    `getDropTemporaryTableString` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    The command used to drop a temporary table.

### performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation

    public Boolean performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Does the dialect require that temporary table DDL statements occur in isolation from other statements? This would be the case if the creation would cause any current transaction to get committed implicitly.

  JDBC defines a standard way to query for this information via the `DatabaseMetaData.dataDefinitionCausesTransactionCommit()` method. However, that does not distinguish between temporary table DDL and other forms of DDL; MySQL, for example, reports DDL causing a transaction commit via its driver, even though that is not the case for temporary table DDL.

  Possible return values and their meanings:
  - `Boolean.TRUE` - Unequivocally, perform the temporary table DDL in isolation.
  - `Boolean.FALSE` - Unequivocally, do not perform the temporary table DDL in isolation.
  - null - defer to the JDBC driver response in regards to `DatabaseMetaData.dataDefinitionCausesTransactionCommit()`

  Overrides:
    `performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    see the result matrix above.

### getCastTypeName

    public String getCastTypeName(int code)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Get the name of the database type appropriate for casting operations (via the CAST() SQL function) for the given `Types` typecode.

  Overrides:
    `getCastTypeName` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `code` - The `Types` typecode
  Returns:
    The database type name

### supportsCurrentTimestampSelection

    public boolean supportsCurrentTimestampSelection()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Does this dialect support a way to retrieve the database's current timestamp value?

  Overrides:
    `supportsCurrentTimestampSelection` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if the current timestamp can be retrieved; false otherwise.

### 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.

### 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.

    public int registerResultSetOutParameter(CallableStatement statement,
                                             int col)
                                      throws SQLException

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Registers an OUT parameter which will be returning a `ResultSet`. How this is accomplished varies greatly from DB to DB, hence its inclusion (along with `Dialect.getResultSet(java.sql.CallableStatement)`) here.

    `registerResultSetOutParameter` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `statement` - The callable statement.
    `col` - The bind position at which to register the OUT param.
  Returns:
    The number of (contiguous) bind positions used.
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - Indicates problems registering the OUT param.

### getResultSet

    public ResultSet getResultSet(CallableStatement ps)
                           throws SQLException

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Given a callable statement previously processed by `Dialect.registerResultSetOutParameter(java.sql.CallableStatement, int)`, extract the `ResultSet` from the OUT parameter.

  Overrides:
    `getResultSet` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `ps` - The callable statement.
  Returns:
    The extracted result set.
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - Indicates problems extracting the result set.

### supportsRowValueConstructorSyntax

    public boolean supportsRowValueConstructorSyntax()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Is this dialect known to support what ANSI-SQL terms "row value constructor" syntax; sometimes called tuple syntax.

  Basically, does it support syntax like "... where (FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME) = ('Steve', 'Ebersole') ...".

  Overrides:
    `supportsRowValueConstructorSyntax` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if this SQL dialect is known to support "row value constructor" syntax; false otherwise.

  Overrides:
    `getWriteLockString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `timeout` - in milliseconds, -1 for indefinite wait and 0 for no wait.
  Returns:
    The appropriate `LOCK` clause string.

### getReadLockString

    public String getReadLockString(int timeout)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Get the string to append to SELECT statements to acquire WRITE locks for this dialect. Location of the of the returned string is treated the same as getForUpdateString.

  Overrides:
    `getReadLockString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `timeout` - in milliseconds, -1 for indefinite wait and 0 for no wait.
  Returns:
    The appropriate `LOCK` clause string.

### supportsEmptyInList

    public boolean supportsEmptyInList()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Does this dialect support empty IN lists?

  For example, is [where XYZ in ()] a supported construct?

  Overrides:
    `supportsEmptyInList` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if empty in lists are supported; false otherwise.

### areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive

    public boolean areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Are string comparisons implicitly case insensitive.

  In other words, does [where 'XYZ' = 'xyz'] resolve to true?

  Overrides:
    `areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive` in class `Dialect`

    True if comparisons are case insensitive.

### supportsLobValueChangePropogation

    public boolean supportsLobValueChangePropogation()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Does the dialect support propagating changes to LOB values back to the database? Talking about mutating the internal value of the locator as opposed to supplying a new locator instance...

  For BLOBs, the internal value might be changed by: `Blob.setBinaryStream(long)`, `Blob.setBytes(long, byte[])`, `Blob.setBytes(long, byte[], int, int)`, or `Blob.truncate(long)`.

  For CLOBs, the internal value might be changed by: `Clob.setAsciiStream(long)`, `Clob.setCharacterStream(long)`, `Clob.setString(long, String)`, `Clob.setString(long, String, int, int)`, or `Clob.truncate(long)`.

  NOTE : I do not know the correct answer currently for databases which (1) are not part of the cruise control process or (2) do not `Dialect.supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern()`.

  Overrides:
    `supportsLobValueChangePropogation` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if the changes are propagated back to the database; false otherwise.

### supportsSubqueryOnMutatingTable

    public boolean supportsSubqueryOnMutatingTable()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Does this dialect support referencing the table being mutated in a subquery. The "table being mutated" is the table referenced in an UPDATE or a DELETE query. And so can that table then be referenced in a subquery of said UPDATE/DELETE query.

  For example, would the following two syntaxes be supported:
  - delete from TABLE_A where ID not in ( select ID from TABLE_A )
  - update TABLE_A set NON_ID = 'something' where ID in ( select ID from TABLE_A)

  Overrides:
    `supportsSubqueryOnMutatingTable` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if this dialect allows references the mutating table from a subquery.
