[hibernate-dev] hibernate-extras

[Diego Pires Plentz]

Btw, talking on dialects, I've started to talk with Postgre developers

http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2942

They asked for a way to dynamically add functions to the dialect,
doing some query's on db metadata. Another thing is to send database
minor version  to DialectFactory, since in Postgre 8.2, major version
is 8 and minor version is 2. I think we could improve it a lot with
their help.
