The Dialect type exposes the following members.

Methods

  NameDescription
AddIdentitySelectToInsert
Generate SQL to get the identifier of an inserted row. If the returned value is not null, the caller will prepare a statement from it, set SQL parameters just as it would for insertSQL, and execute it as a query which is expected to return the identifier of the inserted row. If the returned value is null, the caller will execute insertSQL as an update and then execute IdentitySelectString as a query. The default implementation (in this class) returns nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Equals
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Finalize
Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

GetAddForeignKeyConstraintString
GetAddPrimaryKeyConstraintString
The syntax used to add a primary key constraint to a table
GetCastTypeName
GetCreateSequenceString
The syntax used to create a sequence, if sequences are supported
GetDialectOverloaded.
GetDropForeignKeyConstraintString
The syntax used to drop a foreign key constraint from a table.
GetDropIndexConstraintString
The syntax used to drop an index constraint from a table.
GetDropPrimaryKeyConstraintString
The syntax used to drop a primary key constraint from a table.
GetDropSequenceString
