  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  The syntax used to add a column to a table (optional).

  Overrides:
    `getAddColumnString` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    The "add column" fragment.

### getSequenceNextValString

    public String getSequenceNextValString(String sequenceName)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`

  Returns:
    String The "nextval" select string.

### getSelectSequenceNextValString

    public String getSelectSequenceNextValString(String sequenceName)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Generate the select expression fragment that will retrieve the next value of a sequence as part of another (typically DML) statement.

  This differs from `Dialect.getSequenceNextValString(String)` in that this should return an expression usable within another statement.

  Overrides:
    `getSelectSequenceNextValString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `sequenceName` - the name of the sequence
  Returns:
    The "nextval" fragment.

### getCreateSequenceString

    public String getCreateSequenceString(String sequenceName)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Typically dialects which support sequences can create a sequence with a single command. This is convenience form of `Dialect.getCreateSequenceStrings(java.lang.String)` to help facilitate that.

  Dialects which support sequences and can create a sequence in a single command need *only* override this method. Dialects which support sequences but require multiple commands to create a sequence should instead override `Dialect.getCreateSequenceStrings(java.lang.String)`.

  Overrides:
    `getCreateSequenceString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `sequenceName` - The name of the sequence
  Returns:
    The sequence creation command

### getDropSequenceString

    public String getDropSequenceString(String sequenceName)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Typically dialects which support sequences can drop a sequence with a single command. This is convenience form of `Dialect.getDropSequenceStrings(java.lang.String)` to help facilitate that.

  Dialects which support sequences and can drop a sequence in a single command need *only* override this method. Dialects which support sequences but require multiple commands to drop a sequence should instead override `Dialect.getDropSequenceStrings(java.lang.String)`.

  Overrides:

    `supportsSequences` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if sequences supported; false otherwise.

### supportsLimit

    public boolean supportsLimit()

  Overrides:
    `supportsLimit` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if this dialect supports some form of LIMIT.

### getLimitString

    public String getLimitString(String sql,
                                 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

### bindLimitParametersInReverseOrder

  Overrides:
    `bindLimitParametersInReverseOrder` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    true if the correct order is limit, offset

### supportsIdentityColumns

    public boolean supportsIdentityColumns()

                                      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.

  Overrides:
    `registerResultSetOutParameter` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `statement` - The callable statement.

  Throws:
    `SQLException` - Indicates problems extracting the result set.

### supportsPooledSequences

                                             int incrementSize)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Overloaded form of `Dialect.getCreateSequenceString(String)`, additionally taking the initial value and increment size to be applied to the sequence definition. The default definition is to suffix `Dialect.getCreateSequenceString(String)` with the string: " start with {initialValue} increment by {incrementSize}" where {initialValue} and {incrementSize} are replacement placeholders. Generally dialects should only need to override this method if different key phrases are used to apply the allocation information.

  Overrides:
    `getCreateSequenceString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `sequenceName` - The name of the sequence
    `initialValue` - The initial value to apply to 'create sequence' statement

  Returns:
    True if empty in lists are supported; false otherwise.

### supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern

    public boolean supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Expected LOB usage pattern is such that I can perform an insert via prepared statement with a parameter binding for a LOB value without crazy casting to JDBC driver implementation-specific classes...

  Part of the trickiness here is the fact that this is largely driver dependent. For example, Oracle (which is notoriously bad with LOB support in their drivers historically) actually does a pretty good job with LOB support as of the 10.2.x versions of their drivers...

  Overrides:
    `supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if normal LOB usage patterns can be used with this driver; false if driver-specific hookiness needs to be applied.

### 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.

### supportsUnboundedLobLocatorMaterialization

    public boolean supportsUnboundedLobLocatorMaterialization()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Is it supported to materialize a LOB locator outside the transaction in which it was created?

  Again, part of the trickiness here is the fact that this is largely driver dependent.

  NOTE: all database I have tested which `Dialect.supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern()` also support the ability to materialize a LOB outside the owning transaction...

  Overrides:
    `supportsUnboundedLobLocatorMaterialization` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if unbounded materialization is supported; false otherwise.

### getForUpdateString

    public String getForUpdateString()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Get the string to append to SELECT statements to acquire locks for this dialect.

  Overrides:
    `getForUpdateString` in class `Dialect`

  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:
    `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:
