    public class HSQLDialect

extends Dialect

An SQL dialect compatible with HSQLDB (HyperSQL).

Note this version supports HSQLDB version 1.8 and higher, only.

Enhancements to version 3.5.0 GA to provide basic support for both HSQLDB 1.8.x and 2.x Does not works with Hibernate 3.2 - 3.4 without alteration.

### supportsUnique

    public boolean supportsUnique()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Does this dialect support the `UNIQUE` column syntax?

  Returns:
    boolean

### supportsLimit

    public boolean supportsLimit()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Does this dialect support some form of limiting query results via a SQL clause?

  Overrides:
    `supportsLimit` in class `Dialect`

                                 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.

    True if column-level CHECK constraints are supported; false otherwise.

### supportsSequences

    public boolean supportsSequences()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`

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

### supportsPooledSequences

    public boolean supportsPooledSequences()

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`

  Overrides:
    `supportsPooledSequences` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if such "pooled" sequences are supported; false otherwise.
  See Also:
    `Dialect.getCreateSequenceStrings(String, int, int)`, `Dialect.getCreateSequenceString(String, int, int)`

### getCreateSequenceString

    protected 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

    protected 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:
    `getDropSequenceString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `sequenceName` - The name of the sequence
  Returns:
    The sequence drop commands

### 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.

### getSequenceNextValString

    public String getSequenceNextValString(String sequenceName)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Generate the appropriate select statement to to retrieve the next value of a sequence.

  This should be a "stand alone" select statement.

  Overrides:
    `getSequenceNextValString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `sequenceName` - the name of the sequence
  Returns:
    String The "nextval" select string.

  Specified by:
    `getViolatedConstraintNameExtracter` in interface `ConversionContext`
  Overrides:
    `getViolatedConstraintNameExtracter` in class `Dialect`

### getSelectClauseNullString

    public String getSelectClauseNullString(int sqlType)

  Description copied from class: `Dialect`
  Given a `Types` type code, determine an appropriate null value to use in a select clause.

  One thing to consider here is that certain databases might require proper casting for the nulls here since the select here will be part of a UNION/UNION ALL.

  Overrides:
    `getSelectClauseNullString` in class `Dialect`
  Parameters:
    `sqlType` - The `Types` type code.
  Returns:
    The appropriate select clause value fragment.

### supportsUnionAll

  No fragment is needed if data is not needed beyond commit, otherwise should add "on commit preserve rows"

  Overrides:
    `getCreateTemporaryTablePostfix` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    Any required postfix.

### getDropTemporaryTableString

    public String getDropTemporaryTableString()

  Command used to drop a temporary table.

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

  Returns:
    see the result matrix above.

### dropTemporaryTableAfterUse

  Overrides:
    `dropTemporaryTableAfterUse` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if the table should be dropped.

### supportsCurrentTimestampSelection

    public boolean supportsCurrentTimestampSelection()

  HSQLDB 1.8.x requires CALL CURRENT_TIMESTAMP but this should not be treated as a callable statement. It is equivalent to "select current_timestamp from dual" in some databases. HSQLDB 2.0 also supports VALUES CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

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

### isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable

    public boolean isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable()

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

### requiresCastingOfParametersInSelectClause

    public boolean requiresCastingOfParametersInSelectClause()

  todo - needs usage clarification If the SELECT statement is always part of a UNION, then the type of parameter is resolved by v. 2.0, but not v. 1.8 (assuming the other SELECT in the UNION has a column reference in the same position and can be type-resolved). On the other hand if the SELECT statement is isolated, all versions of HSQLDB require casting for "select ? from .." to work.

  Overrides:
    `requiresCastingOfParametersInSelectClause` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if select clause parameter must be cast()ed
  Since:
    3.2

### doesReadCommittedCauseWritersToBlockReaders

    public boolean doesReadCommittedCauseWritersToBlockReaders()

  For the underlying database, is READ_COMMITTED isolation implemented by forcing readers to wait for write locks to be released?

  Overrides:
    `doesReadCommittedCauseWritersToBlockReaders` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if writers block readers to achieve READ_COMMITTED; false otherwise.

### doesRepeatableReadCauseReadersToBlockWriters

  Overrides:
    `doesRepeatableReadCauseReadersToBlockWriters` in class `Dialect`
  Returns:
    True if readers block writers to achieve REPEATABLE_READ; false otherwise.

### 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.

### toBooleanValueString

    public String toBooleanValueString(boolean bool)
