Re: [Hibernate] Oracle Style Joins Implemented

[Christoph S. <ch...@mc...>]

Hey Jon!

Oracle Outer Joins are great, I have been needing this for quite some =
time :)

But wouldnt it be better to let the database Dialect decide what kind of =
outer joins is generated instead of introducing a new parameter?

 chris

  Subject: [Hibernate] Oracle Style Joins Implemented


  Hi,

  I've implemented outer join support for Oracle 8.  (Oracle 9 supports =
the ANSI style outer joins.)

  I know Gavin is working on some refactoring right now, so I wanted to =
make sure my work doesn't interfere with his before I check the patches =
in.  In order to implement this, I had to modify the following files =
(along with what I did):

  Environment.java - Added a "useOracleJoins" environment parameter

  Loader.java - Added helper methods to generate the additions to the =
from and the where clause for the Joins

  CollectionLoader.java - Added check for join type, and then generate =
ANSI joins or Oracle joins.

  EntityLoader.java - Added check for join type, and then generate ANSI =
joins or Oracle joins.

  OneToManyLoader.java - Added check for join type, and then generate =
ANSI joins or Oracle joins.



  Gavin, if this sounds alright to you, and doesn't conflict with your =
refactoring, then I will check this in.

  Thanks,
  Jon...
