[hibernate-dev] solidDB Hibernate dialect ?

[Niall DOWNEY]

Hi Chris,
Your option 3 does sound interesting all right.

If putting a link on Hibernate.org could still be done and because we do
have control of including the Dialect with the solidDB JDBC driver, this
approach sounds like it would suit both yourselves and us.  Also we would
be responsible for running the TestSuite and for ensuring sufficient
quality was maintained.

Let me circulate this approach here and get back to you and Steve shortly.

Regards,

Niall

We discussed some other ways to deal with Dialects in the past:

http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/hibernate-dev/2008-September/003323.html

I still like Option 3 -- make the Dialect available with the JDBC driver
distribution but I don't know of anyone doing this today.
