Dialects

Overview

Dialects absorb differences in databases and drivers. A typical function of dialects is to resolve the type mappings between Kotlin and databases.

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
H2 Database Engine JDBC komapper-dialect-h2-jdbc H2JdbcSqlDialect
H2 Database Engine R2DBC komapper-dialect-h2-r2dbc H2R2dbcSqlDialect
MariaDB JDBC komapper-dialect-mariadb-jdbc MariaDbJdbcDialect
MySQL JDBC komapper-dialect-mysql-jdbc MySqlJdbcDialect
Oracle Database JDBC komapper-dialect-oracle-jdbc OracleJdbcDialect
Oracle Database R2DBC komapper-dialect-oracle-r2dbc OracleR2dbcDialect
PostgreSQL JDBC komapper-dialect-postgresql-jdbc PostgreSqlJdbcDialect
PostgreSQL R2DBC komapper-dialect-postgresql-r2dbc PostgreSqlR2dbcDialect
SQL Server JDBC komapper-dialect-sqlserver-jdbc SqlServerJdbcDialect
SQL Server R2DBC komapper-dialect-sqlserver-r2dbc SqlServerR2dbcDialect

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")
}

Support for kotlinx-datetime

Komapper supports following data types of kotlinx-datetime:

  • kotlinx.datetime.Instant
  • kotlinx.datetime.LocalDate
  • kotlinx.datetime.LocalDateTime

To use these types, declare kotlinx-datetime in the Gradle dependencies declaration as follows:

dependencies {
    implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-datetime:0.3.2")
}

Also, declare komapper-datetime-jdbc or komapper-datetime-r2dbc:

val komapperVersion: String by project
dependencies {
    runtimeOnly("org.komapper:komapper-datetime-jdbc:$komapperVersion")
}
