Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate Extras module

Hi Vlad, "any other features that cannot be added into the hibernate-core because they are DB-specific." Aren't Dialects in Hibernate DB specific? Why is there a reason not to support some DB specific feature in Hibernate core? Isn't it possible to have DB specific Hibernate modules? For example hibernate-core contains the core of Hibernate (as the name suggests) but everything else DB specific is in a specific module, Dialects, custom types, etc. If you could clarify this for me, that would be great as I don't know the historic reasons. :-) Thank you guys!
