Max Rydahl Andersen commented on HHH-3200:
------------------------------------------
wouldn't it not just be better to cahnge the existing exception check to: "Dialect not set nor possible to autodetect from database. Hibernate dialect mut be explicit set" ?

> Key: HHH-3200
> URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3200
> Project: Hibernate3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5, 3.2.6
> Environment: I'm testing with 3.2.5.ga, Windows XP SP2, and SQL Server 2000. However, I'm fairly certain this will affect any OS/DB combination.

> If the DB connection is unable to be created in org.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory.buildSettings(Properties props), the error message that is returned indicates "Hibernate Dialect must be explicitly set". This message is misleading. The real problem is that auto-detection can not work because the DB connection failed and the metadata could not be retrieved. A warning is issued that explains this, but production environments often disable log4j warnings for third-party packages to maintain reasonable-sized log files.
> The failure to create a connection should be used to generate a useful error message. Something like:
> //SQL Dialect:
> Dialect dialect = determineDialect( props, databaseName, databaseMajorVersion );
> settings.setDialect(dialect);
> The relevant log entries are below.
