[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-3196) Dialect auto detection not documented?

[James Roper (JIRA)]

Dialect auto detection not documented?
--------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3196
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3196
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
            Reporter: James Roper
            Priority: Trivial


The documentation says:

"You should always set the hibernate.dialect property to the correct org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect subclass for your database. If you specify a dialect, Hibernate will use sensible defaults for some of the other properties listed above, saving you the effort of specifying them manually."

Is that still correct, or is it possible that this is left over from a time when Hibernate didn't support auto detecting dialects?  Because I've noticed feature requests in JIRA for auto detecting dialects that were rejected, and I've noticed other JIRA issues that talk about adding dialects to the auto detection map.  What is hibernates behavior when the dialect isn't specified?
