测试hibernate方言的正确方法是什么？

Question

I have written my own hibernate dialect for a RDBMS. What is the best way to test the dialect? Are there any testsuites/tests that could be helpful for me? What is the best way to make sure, that my implementation is correct/supports all necessary features?

Answer 1

^{This is purely from reading stuff from the Hibernate GitHub repos, not from experience with "doing" Hibernate testing. However, it may be sufficient to get you started ...}

The Hibernate matrix testing framework allows you to run tests against specific database backends; see https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-matrix-testing . The README.md file says how to configure the framework for a specific database.

The Hibernate ORM tree includes a number of tests for the core of Hibernate; see https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm . The README.md for that project mentions Gradle tasks for running the tests. (I haven't looked at the available tests in detail, but since the ORM tree includes the "dialect" classes for a range of database, I would imagine that includes the corresponding tests.)

Hibernate's build and test framework is implemented using Gradle, so I expect that you will need to get your head around that technology to figure out how it all works.

Answer 2

Not aware of any such suite or tests. To start with:

• test various query scenarios & see if queries generated are running fine for that DB - when ran standalone.
• test exceptions expected in all scenarios.
• check on how it behaves for a new/old version of the DB driver.

Best of luck!
