C.1 Getting Fluent in the Local SQL

Hibernate ships with detailed support for many commercial and free relational
databases. While most features will work properly without doing
so, it's important to set the hibernate.dialect configuration property to
the right subclass of net.sf.hibernate.dialect.Dialect, especially if
you want to use features like native or sequence primary key generation
or session locking. Choosing a dialect is also a very convenient way
of setting up a whole raft of Hibernate configuration parameters you'd
otherwise have to deal with individually.

If you don't see your target database here, check whether support has
been added to the latest Hibernate release. The dialects are listed in the
'SQL Dialects' section of the Hibernate reference documentation. If that
doesn't pan out, see if you can find a third-party effort to support the
database, or consider starting your own!
