While loading hibernate2 into a clean eclipse workspace I spotted that all dialects implement an deprecated method in Dialect:
/** * The syntax used to add a column to a table. * @deprecated not supported on many platforms * @return String */ public abstract String getAddColumnString(); Why is this deprecated just because not so many platforms support it ? (just wondering, coz' I would just assume dialects not supporting this would throw an UnsupportedOperation exception et.al.) /max ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ hibernate-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hibernate-devel
