    Description copied from class: Dialect
    The database column type name for a given JDBC type code defined in Types or SqlTypes. This default implementation returns the ANSI-standard type name.
    This method may be overridden by concrete Dialects as an alternative to Dialect.registerColumnTypes(TypeContributions, ServiceRegistry) for simple registrations.
    Note that:
    
    Implementations of this method are expected to define a sensible mapping forTypes.NCLOB Types.NCHAR, and Types.NVARCHAR. On some database, these types are simply remapped to CLOB, CHAR, and VARCHAR.
    Mappings for Types.TIMESTAMP and Types.TIMESTAMP_WITH_TIMEZONE should support explicit specification of precision if possible.
    As specified by DdlTypeRegistry.getDescriptor(int), this method never receives Types.LONGVARCHAR, Types.LONGNVARCHAR, nor Types.LONGVARBINARY, which are considered synonyms for their non-LONG counterparts.
    On the other hand, the types SqlTypes.LONG32VARCHAR, SqlTypes.LONG32NVARCHAR, and SqlTypes.LONG32VARBINARY are not synonyms, and implementations of this method must define sensible mappings, for example to database-native TEXT or CLOB types.
    Overrides:
    
    columnType in class AbstractTransactSQLDialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    sqlTypeCode - a SQL type code
    
    Returns:

```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    Initialize the given registry with any dialect-specific functions.
    Support for certain SQL functions is required, and if the database does not support a required function, then the dialect must define a way to emulate it.
    These required functions include the functions defined by the JPA query language specification:
    
    avg(arg) - aggregate function
    count([distinct ]arg) - aggregate function
    max(arg) - aggregate function
    min(arg) - aggregate function
    sum(arg) - aggregate function
    
    coalesce(arg0, arg1, ...)
    nullif(arg0, arg1)
    
    lower(arg)
    upper(arg)
    length(arg)
    concat(arg0, arg1, ...)
    locate(pattern, string[, start])
    substring(string, start[, length])
    trim([[spec ][character ]from] string)
    
    abs(arg)
    mod(arg0, arg1)
    sqrt(arg)
    
    current date
    current time
    current timestamp
    Along with an additional set of functions defined by ANSI SQL:
    
    any(arg) - aggregate function
    every(arg) - aggregate function
    
    var_samp(arg) - aggregate function
    var_pop(arg) - aggregate function
    stddev_samp(arg) - aggregate function
    stddev_pop(arg) - aggregate function
    
    cast(arg as Type)
    extract(field from arg)
    
    ln(arg)
    exp(arg)
    power(arg0, arg1)
    floor(arg)
    ceiling(arg)
    
    position(pattern in string)
    substring(string from start[ for length])
    overlay(string placing replacement from start[ for length])
    And the following functions for working with java.time types:
    
    local date
    local time
    local datetime
    offset datetime
    instant
    And a number of additional "standard" functions:
    
    left(string, length)
    right(string, length)
    replace(string, pattern, replacement)
    pad(string with length spec[ character])
    
    pi
    log10(arg)
    log(base, arg)
    sign(arg)
    sin(arg)
    cos(arg)
    tan(arg)
    asin(arg)
    acos(arg)
    atan(arg)
    atan2(arg0, arg1)
    round(arg0[, arg1])
    truncate(arg0[, arg1])
    sinh(arg)
    tanh(arg)
    cosh(arg)
    least(arg0, arg1, ...)
    greatest(arg0, arg1, ...)
    degrees(arg)
    radians(arg)
    
    format(datetime as pattern)
    collate(string as collation)
    str(arg) - synonym of cast(a as String)
    ifnull(arg0, arg1) - synonym of coalesce(a, b)
    Finally, the following functions are defined as abbreviations for extract(), and desugared by the parser:
    
    second(arg) - synonym of extract(second from a)
    minute(arg) - synonym of extract(minute from a)
    hour(arg) - synonym of extract(hour from a)
    day(arg) - synonym of extract(day from a)
    month(arg) - synonym of extract(month from a)
    year(arg) - synonym of extract(year from a)
    Note that according to this definition, the second() function returns a floating point value, contrary to the integer type returned by the native function with this name on many databases. Thus, we don't just naively map these HQL functions to the native SQL functions with the same names.

  - currentTimestamp
```
public String currentTimestamp()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Translation of the HQL/JPQL current_timestamp function, which maps to the Java type java.sql.Timestamp which is a datetime with no time zone. This contradicts ANSI SQL where current_timestamp has the type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
    It is recommended to override this in dialects for databases which support localtimestamp or timestamp at local.

                                       throws SQLException
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    Build the IdentifierHelper indicated by this Dialect for handling identifier conversions. Returning null is allowed and indicates that Hibernate should fallback to building a "standard" helper. In the fallback path, any changes made to the IdentifierHelperBuilder during this call will still be incorporated into the built IdentifierHelper.
    The incoming builder will have the following set:
    
    IdentifierHelperBuilder.isGloballyQuoteIdentifiers()
    
    IdentifierHelperBuilder.getUnquotedCaseStrategy() - initialized to UPPER
    
    IdentifierHelperBuilder.getQuotedCaseStrategy() - initialized to MIXED
    
    By default Hibernate will do the following:
    
    Call IdentifierHelperBuilder.applyIdentifierCasing(DatabaseMetaData)
    Call IdentifierHelperBuilder.applyReservedWords(DatabaseMetaData)
    Applies AnsiSqlKeywords.sql2003() as reserved words
    
    Applies the {#link #sqlKeywords} collected here as reserved words
    
    Applies the Dialect's NameQualifierSupport, if it defines one
    Overrides:
    
    buildIdentifierHelper in class Dialect
    
    Parameters:
    
    builder - A semi-configured IdentifierHelper builder.
    
    dbMetaData - Access to the metadata returned from the driver if needed and if available. WARNING: may be null
    
    Returns:

  - currentTime
```
public String currentTime()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    
    Translation of the HQL/JPQL current_time function, which maps to the Java type java.sql.Time which is a time with no time zone. This contradicts ANSI SQL where current_time has the type TIME WITH TIME ZONE.
    It is recommended to override this in dialects for databases which support localtime or time at local.

```
public SQLExceptionConversionDelegate buildSQLExceptionConversionDelegate()
```
    Description copied from class: Dialect
    Build an instance of a SQLExceptionConversionDelegate for interpreting dialect-specific error or SQLState 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 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
  - getDefaultTimestampPrecision
```
public int getDefaultTimestampPrecision()

```
public long getFractionalSecondPrecisionInNanos()
```
    SQL server supports up to 7 decimal digits of fractional second precision in a datetime2, but unfortunately its duration arithmetic functions have a nasty habit of overflowing. So to give ourselves a little extra headroom, we will use microsecond as the native unit of precision (but even then we have to use tricks when calling dateadd()).
    
    Overrides:
    
    getFractionalSecondPrecisionInNanos in class Dialect
    
    Returns:
    
    the precision, specified as a quantity of nanoseconds
