Explain what is a dialect?

Answered by Prachi
Dialect class is used to connect any database with the hibernate. To generate appropriate SQL statements a type of database is specified to be used in hibernate. Configuration of SQL dialect is required for connecting the database with any hibernate application. So, this indicates that there is a different dialect in each database. There is a wide list of dialect classes in hibernate in the case of Oracle, mysql, DB2, Sybase, Informix, Ingres, HypersonicSQL, Progress, Interbase, Point ase, firebird, front base and so on. The dialect for each RDBMS is similar like for oracle it is org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect and in case of firebird it is org.hibernate.dialect.FireBirdDialect
