The dialect specifies the type of database used in hibernate so that hibernate generates the appropriate type of SQL statements. For connecting any hibernate application with the database, it is required to provide the configuration of SQL dialect.
Always set the
hibernate.dialect
property to the correctorg.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. This means that you will not have to specify them manually.
Syntax of SQL Dialect
List of SQL Dialects
There are many Dialects classes defined for RDBMS in the org.hibernate.dialect package. They are as follows:
RDBMS | Dialect |
---|---|
Oracle (any version) | org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect |
Oracle9i | org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9iDialect |
Oracle10g | org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect |
MySQL | org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect |
MySQL with InnoDB | org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect |
MySQL with MyISAM | org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLMyISAMDialect |
DB2 | org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect |
DB2 AS/400 | org.hibernate.dialect.DB2400Dialect |
DB2 OS390 | org.hibernate.dialect.DB2390Dialect |
Microsoft SQL Server | org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect |
Sybase | org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseDialect |
Sybase Anywhere | org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseAnywhereDialect |

Conclusions
Configuring the correct SQL dialect is essential for Hibernate to communicate with the database. There are multiple Dialect classes in org.hibernate.dialect
to choose from based on the type of database
