Hi!

I am a user of 2.0.3. Tried to upgrade to Hibernate 2.1.1 There is a
problem with register method of Dialect class. In 2.1 the method name is changed to registerColumnType

I was able to add register method to source to make my code works with both version:

protected void register(int code, int capacity, String name) {
typeNames.put(code, capacity, name);
}

protected void register(int code, String name) {
typeNames.put(code, name);
}

Thanks,

Did you implement your own Dialect ?

Yes, I did. I have two dilect one for Sybase and one for Access. Here is my dialect for Sybase:

public class SybaseDialect extends Dialect {
public SybaseDialect() {
super();
register( Types.BIT, "TINYINT" ); //Sybase BIT type does not support null values
register( Types.BIGINT, "NUMERIC(19,0)" );
register( Types.SMALLINT, "SMALLINT" );
register( Types.TINYINT, "TINYINT" );
register( Types.INTEGER, "INT" );
register( Types.CHAR, "CHAR(1)" );

register( Types.VARCHAR, 255, "VARCHAR($l)" );
register( Types.VARCHAR, 1073741823, "TEXT" );

register( Types.FLOAT, "FLOAT" );
register( Types.DOUBLE, "DOUBLE PRECISION" );
register( Types.DATE, "DATETIME" );
register( Types.TIME, "DATETIME" );
register( Types.TIMESTAMP, "DATETIME" );
register( Types.VARBINARY, "VARBINARY($l)" );
register( Types.NUMERIC, "NUMERIC(19,$l)" );
register( Types.BLOB, "IMAGE" );
register( Types.CLOB, "TEXT" );

getDefaultProperties().setProperty(Environment.USE_OUTER_JOIN, "true");
getDefaultProperties().setProperty(Environment.STATEMENT_BATCH_SIZE, NO_BATCH);
}

public String getAddColumnString() {
return "add";
}

public String getNullColumnString() {
return " null";
}

public boolean qualifyIndexName() {
return false;
}

public boolean supportsForUpdate() {
return false;
}

public boolean supportsIdentityColumns() {
return true;
}
public String getIdentitySelectString() {
return "select @@identity";
}
public String getIdentityColumnString() {
return "IDENTITY NOT NULL";
}

public String getNoColumnsInsertString() {
return "DEFAULT VALUES";
}

public char closeQuote() {
return ']';
}

public char openQuote() {
return '[';
}

}
