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")
}
