[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-1753) DB2Dialect.getCurrentTimestampSQLFunctionName() uses Oracle syntax

DB2Dialect.getCurrentTimestampSQLFunctionName() uses Oracle syntax ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-1753 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1753 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.1.3 Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3, DB2 UDB Express-C 8.1 on Windows XP Professional SP2 Reporter: Carey Evans Assignee: Steve Ebersole Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.2.6, 3.3 Attachments: patch-db2dialect-currentTime.txt The DB2Dialect class overrides Dialect.getCurrentTimestampSQLFunctionName() to return "sysdate". However, DB2 supports the standard "current_timestamp" value, not the new value, which appears to be from Oracle: db2 => select sysdate from sysibm.sysdummy1 SQL0206N "SYSDATE" is not valid in the context where it is used. SQLSTATE=42703 db2 => select current_timestamp from sysibm.sysdummy1 1 -------------------------- 2006-05-16-13.13.47.625000 1 record(s) selected. It looks to me like the method should be removed from the DB2Dialect class.
