B.6. Specify Database Dialect for Java Persistence API
The Java Persistence API (JPA) entity manager can save EJB3 entity beans to any backend database. Hibernate provides the JPA implementation in JBoss AS. In order for Hibernate to work correctly with alternative databases, we recommend you configure the database dialect in the
jboss-as/server/production/deploy/ejb3.deployer/META-INF/persistence.properties file. You need to un-comment the hibernate.dialect property and change its value to the following based on the database you setup.
- Oracle 9i: org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9iDialect
- Oracle 10g: org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005: org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect
- PostgresSQL 8.1: org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
- MySQL 5.0: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
- DB2 8.0: org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect
- Sybase ASE 12.5: org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseDialect
Note
Large Objects (LOBs) are supported only with DB2 Version 8 servers and above with the universal JDBC driver. Hence JMS services which stores messages as BLOBS and Timer services which uses BLOB fields for storing objects do not work with the JDBC Type 4 driver and DB2 7.2.
Note
All JBoss services work with the JDBC Type 2 driver and DB2 Version 7.2 servers.
