    Generate the appropriate select statement to to retrieve the next value of a sequence.
    This should be a "stand alone" select statement.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getSequenceNextValString in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    sequenceName - the name of the sequence

    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Generate the select expression fragment that will retrieve the next value of a sequence as part of another (typically DML) statement.
    This differs from Dialect.getSequenceNextValString(String) in that this should return an expression usable within another statement.

  - getCreateSequenceString
```
public java.lang.String getCreateSequenceString(java.lang.String sequenceName)
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Typically dialects which support sequences can create a sequence with a single command. This is convenience form of Dialect.getCreateSequenceStrings(java.lang.String) to help facilitate that.
    Dialects which support sequences and can create a sequence in a single command need *only* override this method. Dialects which support sequences but require multiple commands to create a sequence should instead override Dialect.getCreateSequenceStrings(java.lang.String).
    
    Overrides:
    
    getCreateSequenceString in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    sequenceName - The name of the sequence
    
    Returns:
    
    The sequence creation command
  - getDropSequenceString
```
public java.lang.String getDropSequenceString(java.lang.String sequenceName)
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Typically dialects which support sequences can drop a sequence with a single command. This is convenience form of Dialect.getDropSequenceStrings(java.lang.String) to help facilitate that.
    Dialects which support sequences and can drop a sequence in a single command need *only* override this method. Dialects which support sequences but require multiple commands to drop a sequence should instead override Dialect.getDropSequenceStrings(java.lang.String).
    
    Overrides:
    
    getDropSequenceString in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:

    Returns:
    
    True if sequences supported; false otherwise.
  - supportsPooledSequences
```
public boolean supportsPooledSequences()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Does this dialect support "pooled" sequences. Not aware of a better name for this. Essentially can we specify the initial and increment values?
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsPooledSequences in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if such "pooled" sequences are supported; false otherwise.

  - 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.
  - supportsVariableLimit
```
public boolean supportsVariableLimit()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Does this dialect support bind variables (i.e., prepared statement parameters) for its limit/offset?
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsVariableLimit in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if bind variables can be used; false otherwise.
  - getLimitString
```
public java.lang.String getLimitString(java.lang.String sql,
                                       int offset,
                                       int limit)
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Given a limit and an offset, apply the limit clause to the query.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getLimitString in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    sql - The query to which to apply the limit.
    
    offset - The offset of the limit
    
    limit - The limit of the limit ;)
    
    Returns:
    
    The modified query statement with the limit applied.
  - convertToFirstRowValue
```
public int convertToFirstRowValue(int zeroBasedFirstResult)
```
    Hibernate APIs explicitly state that setFirstResult() should be a zero-based offset. Here we allow the Dialect a chance to convert that value based on what the underlying db or driver will expect.
    NOTE: what gets passed into Dialect.getLimitString(String,int,int) is the zero-based offset. Dialects which do not Dialect.supportsVariableLimit() should take care to perform any needed first-row-conversion calls prior to injecting the limit values into the SQL string.
    DB2 does have a one-based offset, however this was actually already handled in the limit string building (the '?+1' bit). To not mess up inheritors, I'll leave that part alone and not touch the offset here.
    
    Overrides:
    
    convertToFirstRowValue in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    zeroBasedFirstResult - The user-supplied, zero-based first row offset.
    
    Returns:
    
    The corresponding db/dialect specific offset.
    
    See Also:
    
    Query.setFirstResult(int), Criteria.setFirstResult(int)
  - getForUpdateString
```
public java.lang.String getForUpdateString()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Get the string to append to SELECT statements to acquire locks for this dialect.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getForUpdateString in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    The appropriate FOR UPDATE clause string.
  - 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.
  - supportsOuterJoinForUpdate

public boolean supportsOuterJoinForUpdate()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Does this dialect support FOR UPDATE in conjunction with outer joined rows?
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsOuterJoinForUpdate in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if outer joined rows can be locked via FOR UPDATE.
  - supportsExistsInSelect
```
public boolean supportsExistsInSelect()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Does the dialect support an exists statement in the select clause?
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsExistsInSelect in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if exists checks are allowed in the select clause; false otherwise.
  - supportsLockTimeouts
```
public boolean supportsLockTimeouts()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Informational metadata about whether this dialect is known to support specifying timeouts for requested lock acquisitions.
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsLockTimeouts in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True is this dialect supports specifying lock timeouts.
  - getSelectClauseNullString
```
public java.lang.String getSelectClauseNullString(int sqlType)
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Given a Types type code, determine an appropriate null value to use in a select clause.
    One thing to consider here is that certain databases might require proper casting for the nulls here since the select here will be part of a UNION/UNION ALL.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getSelectClauseNullString in class Dialect

    Does this dialect support UNION ALL, which is generally a faster variant of UNION?
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsUnionAll in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if UNION ALL is supported; false otherwise.
  - registerResultSetOutParameter
```
public int registerResultSetOutParameter(java.sql.CallableStatement statement,
                                         int col)
                                  throws java.sql.SQLException
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Registers a parameter (either OUT, or the new REF_CURSOR param type available in Java 8) capable of returning ResultSet *by position*. Pre-Java 8, registering such ResultSet-returning parameters varied greatly across database and drivers; hence its inclusion as part of the Dialect contract.
    
    Overrides:
    
    registerResultSetOutParameter in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    statement - The callable statement.

    Parameters:
    
    ps - The callable statement.
    
    Returns:
    
    The extracted result set.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.sql.SQLException - Indicates problems extracting the result set.
  - supportsCommentOn
```
public boolean supportsCommentOn()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Does this dialect/database support commenting on tables, columns, etc?
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsCommentOn in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    true if commenting is supported

    Returns:
    
    The command.
  - isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable
```
public boolean isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Should the value returned by Dialect.getCurrentTimestampSelectString() be treated as callable. Typically this indicates that JDBC escape syntax is being used...
    
    Overrides:
    
    isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the Dialect.getCurrentTimestampSelectString() return is callable; false otherwise.
  - supportsParametersInInsertSelect
```
public boolean supportsParametersInInsertSelect()
```
    Does this dialect support parameters within the SELECT clause of INSERT ... SELECT ... statements?
    NOTE : DB2 is know to support parameters in the SELECT clause, but only in casted form (see requiresCastingOfParametersInSelectClause()).
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsParametersInInsertSelect in class Dialect
    
    Returns:

```
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.

  - supportsLobValueChangePropogation
```
public boolean supportsLobValueChangePropogation()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Does the dialect support propagating changes to LOB values back to the database? Talking about mutating the internal value of the locator as opposed to supplying a new locator instance...
    For BLOBs, the internal value might be changed by: Blob.setBinaryStream(long), Blob.setBytes(long, byte[]), Blob.setBytes(long, byte[], int, int), or Blob.truncate(long).
    For CLOBs, the internal value might be changed by: Clob.setAsciiStream(long), Clob.setCharacterStream(long), Clob.setString(long, String), Clob.setString(long, String, int, int), or Clob.truncate(long).
    NOTE : I do not know the correct answer currently for databases which (1) are not part of the cruise control process or (2) do not Dialect.supportsExpectedLobUsagePattern().
    
    Overrides:
    
    supportsLobValueChangePropogation in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the changes are propagated back to the database; false otherwise.

```
public boolean doesReadCommittedCauseWritersToBlockReaders()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect

    Overrides:
    
    doesReadCommittedCauseWritersToBlockReaders in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if writers block readers to achieve READ_COMMITTED; false otherwise.
  - supportsTupleDistinctCounts
```
public boolean supportsTupleDistinctCounts()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Does this dialect support `count(distinct a,b)`?

    supportsTupleDistinctCounts in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    True if the database supports counting distinct tuples; false otherwise.
  - getSqlTypeDescriptorOverride
```
protected SqlTypeDescriptor getSqlTypeDescriptorOverride(int sqlCode)
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Returns the SqlTypeDescriptor that should be used to handle the given JDBC type code. Returns null if there is no override.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getSqlTypeDescriptorOverride in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    sqlCode - A Types constant indicating the SQL column type
    
    Returns:
    
    The SqlTypeDescriptor to use as an override, or null if there is no override.
  - buildSQLExceptionConversionDelegate
```
public SQLExceptionConversionDelegate buildSQLExceptionConversionDelegate()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    Build an instance of a SQLExceptionConversionDelegate for interpreting dialect-specific error or SQLState codes.
    When Dialect.buildSQLExceptionConverter() returns null, the default SQLExceptionConverter is used to interpret SQLState and error codes. If this method is overridden to return a non-null value, the default SQLExceptionConverter will use the returned SQLExceptionConversionDelegate in addition to the following standard delegates:
    
    a "static" delegate based on the JDBC 4 defined SQLException hierarchy;
    
    a delegate that interprets SQLState codes for either X/Open or SQL-2003 codes, depending on java.sql.DatabaseMetaData#getSQLStateType
    
    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 a vendor-specific ErrorCode rather than the SQLState.
    Specific Dialects may override to return whatever is most appropriate for that vendor.
    Overrides:
    
    buildSQLExceptionConversionDelegate in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    The SQLExceptionConversionDelegate for this dialect

  - getNotExpression
```
public java.lang.String getNotExpression(java.lang.String expression)
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Negate an expression
    
    Overrides:
