[hibernate-dev] Dialect Registration
Hi,
I have finished up a document and a patch for Dialect Registration
mechanism, and I posted them as an attachment to HHH-2933 which I think
was a related topic.
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2933
I have reached this design after trying to make it easy for users to
integrate optional or third-party dialects into their applications.
It might be a bit different from what you had had in your mind...
Hope it helps,
Tomoto

I have a design where each dialect implementation knows the database
name and the version it can be applied to, and users just need to
enumerate the dialect class names in the configuration file to register
them. If you were interested in this idea, I could write down the
design sketch and/or the code and post them to this ML or JIRA.

I appreciate your offer. We will decide when the module comes.
Possibly we should not move the dialect to "extras" after it was
released in jp.co.hitachi package and users started to use it.
Thanks,
