Dialects
Overview
Dialects absorb differences in databases and drivers. A typical function of dialects is to resolve the type mappings between Kotlin and SQL.
The classes representing dialects are contained in separate modules (artifacts), and the choice of which module to use must be based on the destination database and connectivity type.
| Database | Type | Artifact ID | Dialect Class | Supported Database Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H2 Database Engine | JDBC | komapper-dialect-h2-jdbc | H2JdbcSqlDialect | v2.2.222 and above |
| H2 Database Engine | R2DBC | komapper-dialect-h2-r2dbc | H2R2dbcSqlDialect | v2.2.222 and above |
| MariaDB | JDBC | komapper-dialect-mariadb-jdbc | MariaDbJdbcDialect | v10.6.3 and above |
| MariaDB | R2DBC | komapper-dialect-mariadb-r2dbc | MariaDbR2dbcDialect | v10.6.3 and above |
| MySQL | JDBC | komapper-dialect-mysql-jdbc | MySqlJdbcDialect | v5.7.x and v8.x |
| MySQL | R2DBC | komapper-dialect-mysql-r2dbc | MySqlR2dbcDialect | v5.7.x and v8.x |
| Oracle Database | JDBC | komapper-dialect-oracle-jdbc | OracleJdbcDialect | v18c and above |
| Oracle Database | R2DBC | komapper-dialect-oracle-r2dbc | OracleR2dbcDialect | v18c and above |
| PostgreSQL | JDBC | komapper-dialect-postgresql-jdbc | PostgreSqlJdbcDialect | v12.9 and above |
| PostgreSQL | R2DBC | komapper-dialect-postgresql-r2dbc | PostgreSqlR2dbcDialect | v12.9 and above |
| SQL Server | JDBC | komapper-dialect-sqlserver-jdbc | SqlServerJdbcDialect | v2019 and above |
| SQL Server | R2DBC | komapper-dialect-sqlserver-r2dbc | SqlServerR2dbcDialect | v2019 and above |
To use a dialect, specify the Artifact ID above in the Gradle dependencies declaration.
val komapperVersion: String by project
dependencies {
implementation("org.komapper:komapper-dialect-h2-jdbc:$komapperVersion")
}
