Hi,
Is there any API to figure out why database or dialect I am using runtime?
The reason I ask is because my project has to support multiple types of databases and I need to write a tiny bit of custom code for each type.
Thanks

A better approach might be to build a separate EJB project for each database you're going to use, this is not only a nice modular approach...but you can define a separate persistence unit for each database and specify the dialect at that level.

Otherwise, I'm not sure how you'd set multiple persistence units, dialects, and generally setup a single EJB project to point to multiple databases. It sounds like, if it grew over time, you'd have a mess on your hands.

Hope this helps.

(SessionFactoryImplementor).getdialect() but this is a private API

Hi Emmanuel,
Is there any plans to make this API public?

I need to know which dialect my application is running against as it as requirement to support multiple databases and there are subtle but important differences between database.

Is there anyway I can find it out indirectly?
Thanks

No.
Check for the DialectFactory class, it does the discovery
