org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect

org.hibernate.dialect.Cache71Dialect

public class Cache71Dialect
extends Dialect

Caché 2007.1 dialect. This class is required in order to use Hibernate with Intersystems Cach� SQL.

Compatible with Cach� 2007.1.

Caché and Hibernate

PREREQUISITES

These setup instructions assume that both Caché and Hibernate are installed and operational.

HIBERNATE DIRECTORIES AND FILES

JBoss distributes the InterSystems Cache' dialect for Hibernate 3.2.1 For earlier versions of Hibernate please contact InterSystems Worldwide Response Center (WRC) for the appropriate source files.

CACHÉ DOCUMENTATION

Documentation for Caché is available online when Caché is running. It can also be obtained from the InterSystems website. The book, "Object-oriented Application Development Using the Caché Post-relational Database: is also available from Springer-Verlag.

HIBERNATE DOCUMENTATION

Hibernate comes with extensive electronic documentation. In addition, several books on Hibernate are available from Manning Publications Co. Three available titles are "Hibernate Quickly", "Hibernate in Action", and "Java Persistence with Hibernate".

TO SET UP HIBERNATE FOR USE WITH CACHÉ

The following steps assume that the directory where Caché was installed is C:\CacheSys. This is the default installation directory for Caché. The default installation directory for Hibernate is assumed to be C:\Hibernate.

If either product is installed in a different location, the pathnames that follow should be modified appropriately.

Caché version 2007.1 and above is recommended for use with Hibernate. The next step depends on the location of your CacheDB.jar depending on your version of Caché.

1. Copy C:\CacheSys\dev\java\lib\JDK15\CacheDB.jar to C:\Hibernate\lib\CacheDB.jar.
2. Insert the following files into your Java classpath:
   • All jar files in the directory C:\Hibernate\lib
   • The directory (or directories) where hibernate.properties and/or hibernate.cfg.xml are kept.
3. In the file, hibernate.properties (or hibernate.cfg.xml), specify the Caché dialect and the Caché version URL settings.

For example, in Hibernate 3.2, typical entries in hibernate.properties would have the following "name=value" pairs:

Property Name	Property Value
hibernate.dialect	org.hibernate.dialect.Cache71Dialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class	com.intersys.jdbc.CacheDriver
hibernate.connection.username	(see note 1)
hibernate.connection.password	(see note 1)
hibernate.connection.url	jdbc:Cache://127.0.0.1:1972/USER

Note 1

Please contact your administrator for the userid and password you should use when attempting access via JDBC. By default, these are chosen to be "_SYSTEM" and "SYS" respectively as noted in the SQL standard.

CACHÉ VERSION URL

This is the standard URL for the JDBC driver. For a JDBC driver on the machine hosting Caché, use the IP "loopback" address, 127.0.0.1. For 1972, the default port, specify the super server port of your Caché instance. For USER, substitute the NAMESPACE which contains your Caché database data.

CACHÉ DIALECTS

Choices for Dialect are:

1. org.hibernate.dialect.Cache71Dialect (requires Caché 2007.1 or above)

SUPPORT FOR IDENTITY COLUMNS

Caché 2007.1 or later supports identity columns. For Hibernate to use identity columns, specify "native" as the generator.

SEQUENCE DIALECTS SUPPORT SEQUENCES

To use Hibernate sequence support with Caché in a namespace, you must FIRST load the following file into that namespace:

     etc\CacheSequences.xml
 

For example, at the COS terminal prompt in the namespace, run the following command:

d LoadFile^%apiOBJ("c:\hibernate\etc\CacheSequences.xml","ck")

In your Hibernate mapping you can specify sequence use.

For example, the following shows the use of a sequence generator in a Hibernate mapping:

     <id name="id" column="uid" type="long" unsaved-value="null">
         <generator class="sequence"/>
     </id>
 

Some versions of Hibernate under some circumstances call getSelectSequenceNextValString() in the dialect. If this happens you will receive the error message: new MappingException( "Dialect does not support sequences" ).

HIBERNATE FILES ASSOCIATED WITH CACHÉ DIALECT

The following files are associated with Caché dialect:

1. src\org\hibernate\dialect\Cache71Dialect.java
2. src\org\hibernate\dialect\function\ConditionalParenthesisFunction.java
3. src\org\hibernate\dialect\function\ConvertFunction.java
4. src\org\hibernate\exception\CacheSQLStateConverter.java
5. src\org\hibernate\sql\CacheJoinFragment.java

Cache71Dialect ships with Hibernate 3.2. All other dialects are distributed by InterSystems and subclass Cache71Dialect.

performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation

public Boolean performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does the dialect require that temporary table DDL statements occur in isolation from other statements? This would be the case if the creation would cause any current transaction to get committed implicitly.

JDBC defines a standard way to query for this information via the DatabaseMetaData.dataDefinitionCausesTransactionCommit() method. However, that does not distinguish between temporary table DDL and other forms of DDL; MySQL, for example, reports DDL causing a transaction commit via its driver, even though that is not the case for temporary table DDL.

Possible return values and their meanings:

• Boolean.TRUE - Unequivocally, perform the temporary table DDL in isolation.
• Boolean.FALSE - Unequivocally, do not perform the temporary table DDL in isolation.
• null - defer to the JDBC driver response in regards to DatabaseMetaData.dataDefinitionCausesTransactionCommit()

Overrides:

performTemporaryTableDDLInIsolation in class Dialect

Returns:

see the result matrix above.

getLockingStrategy

public LockingStrategy getLockingStrategy(Lockable lockable,
 LockMode lockMode)

Description copied from class: Dialect

Get a strategy instance which knows how to acquire a database-level lock of the specified mode for this dialect.

Overrides:

getLockingStrategy in class Dialect

Parameters:

lockable - The persister for the entity to be locked.

lockMode - The type of lock to be acquired.

Returns:

The appropriate locking strategy.

supportsLimit

public boolean supportsLimit()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support some form of limiting query results via a SQL clause?

Overrides:

supportsLimit in class Dialect

Returns:

True if this dialect supports some form of LIMIT.

supportsLimitOffset

public boolean supportsLimitOffset()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect's LIMIT support (if any) additionally support specifying an offset?

Overrides:

supportsLimitOffset in class Dialect

Returns:

True if the dialect supports an offset within the limit support.

supportsVariableLimit

public boolean supportsVariableLimit()

Overrides:

supportsVariableLimit in class Dialect

Returns:

True if bind variables can be used; false otherwise.

bindLimitParametersFirst

public boolean bindLimitParametersFirst()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does the LIMIT clause come at the start of the SELECT statement, rather than at the end?

Overrides:

bindLimitParametersFirst in class Dialect

Returns:

true if limit parameters should come before other parameters

useMaxForLimit

public boolean useMaxForLimit()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does the LIMIT clause take a "maximum" row number instead of a total number of returned rows?

This is easiest understood via an example. Consider you have a table with 20 rows, but you only want to retrieve rows number 11 through 20. Generally, a limit with offset would say that the offset = 11 and the limit = 10 (we only want 10 rows at a time); this is specifying the total number of returned rows. Some dialects require that we instead specify offset = 11 and limit = 20, where 20 is the "last" row we want relative to offset (i.e. total number of rows = 20 - 11 = 9)

So essentially, is limit relative from offset? Or is limit absolute?

Overrides:

useMaxForLimit in class Dialect

Returns:

True if limit is relative from offset; false otherwise.

getLimitString

public String getLimitString(String sql,
 boolean hasOffset)

Description copied from class: Dialect

Apply s limit clause to the query.

Typically dialects utilize variable limit clauses when they support limits. Thus, when building the select command we do not actually need to know the limit or the offest since we will just be using placeholders.

Here we do still pass along whether or not an offset was specified so that dialects not supporting offsets can generate proper exceptions. In general, dialects will override one or the other of this method and Dialect.getLimitString(String, int, int).

Overrides:

getLimitString in class Dialect

Parameters:

sql - The query to which to apply the limit.

hasOffset - Is the query requesting an offset?

Returns:

the modified SQL

registerResultSetOutParameter

public int registerResultSetOutParameter(CallableStatement statement,
 int col)
                                  throws SQLException

Description copied from class: Dialect

Registers an OUT parameter which will be returning a ResultSet. How this is accomplished varies greatly from DB to DB, hence its inclusion (along with Dialect.getResultSet(java.sql.CallableStatement)) here.

Overrides:

registerResultSetOutParameter in class Dialect

Parameters:

statement - The callable statement.

col - The bind position at which to register the OUT param.

Returns:

The number of (contiguous) bind positions used.

Throws:

SQLException - Indicates problems registering the OUT param.

getResultSet

public ResultSet getResultSet(CallableStatement ps)
                       throws SQLException

Description copied from class: Dialect

Given a callable statement previously processed by Dialect.registerResultSetOutParameter(java.sql.CallableStatement, int), extract the ResultSet from the OUT parameter.

Overrides:

getResultSet in class Dialect

Parameters:

ps - The callable statement.

Returns:

The extracted result set.

Throws:

SQLException - Indicates problems extracting the result set.

getLowercaseFunction

public String getLowercaseFunction()

Description copied from class: Dialect

The name of the SQL function that transforms a string to lowercase

Overrides:

getLowercaseFunction in class Dialect

Returns:

The dialect-specific lowercase function.

getNullColumnString

public String getNullColumnString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

The keyword used to specify a nullable column.

Overrides:

getNullColumnString in class Dialect

Returns:

String

createOuterJoinFragment

public JoinFragment createOuterJoinFragment()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Create a JoinFragment strategy responsible for handling this dialect's variations in how joins are handled.

Overrides:

createOuterJoinFragment in class Dialect

Returns:

This dialect's JoinFragment strategy.

getNoColumnsInsertString

public String getNoColumnsInsertString()

Description copied from class: Dialect

The fragment used to insert a row without specifying any column values. This is not possible on some databases.

Overrides:

getNoColumnsInsertString in class Dialect

Returns:

The appropriate empty values clause.

buildSQLExceptionConverter

public SQLExceptionConverter buildSQLExceptionConverter()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Build an instance of the SQLExceptionConverter preferred by this dialect for converting SQLExceptions into Hibernate's JDBCException hierarchy. The default Dialect implementation simply returns a converter based on X/Open SQLState codes.

It is strongly recommended that specific Dialect implementations override this method, since interpretation of a SQL error is much more accurate when based on the ErrorCode rather than the SQLState. Unfortunately, the ErrorCode is a vendor- specific approach.

Overrides:

buildSQLExceptionConverter in class Dialect

Returns:

The Dialect's preferred SQLExceptionConverter.

supportsEmptyInList

public boolean supportsEmptyInList()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support empty IN lists?

For example, is [where XYZ in ()] a supported construct?

Overrides:

supportsEmptyInList in class Dialect

Returns:

True if empty in lists are supported; false otherwise.

areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive

public boolean areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Are string comparisons implicitly case insensitive.

In other words, does [where 'XYZ' = 'xyz'] resolve to true?

Overrides:

areStringComparisonsCaseInsensitive in class Dialect

Returns:

True if comparisons are case insensitive.

supportsResultSetPositionQueryMethodsOnForwardOnlyCursor

public boolean supportsResultSetPositionQueryMethodsOnForwardOnlyCursor()

Description copied from class: Dialect

Does this dialect support asking the result set its positioning information on forward only cursors. Specifically, in the case of scrolling fetches, Hibernate needs to use ResultSet.isAfterLast() and ResultSet.isBeforeFirst(). Certain drivers do not allow access to these methods for forward only cursors.

NOTE : this is highly driver dependent!

Overrides:

supportsResultSetPositionQueryMethodsOnForwardOnlyCursor in class Dialect

Returns:

True if methods like ResultSet.isAfterLast() and ResultSet.isBeforeFirst() are supported for forward only cursors; false otherwise.
