The dialect of the database that a
DatabaseClient
is connected to can be automatically detected:DatabaseClient#getDialect()
has been added. This method always returns the dialect of the underlying database. It will do so by executing a query that detects the dialect. This query can also be executed and cached automatically in the background during startup (see below).SessionPoolOptions#setAutoDetectDialect(true)
will cause the dialect detection query to be executed in the background automatically when a new client is created. This is disabled by default, except for when a Connection API connection (or anything that depends on that, such as JDBC) is opened. The reason for this default behavior is that a normal Spanner instance does normally not need to know what the dialect of the underlying database is, while the Connection API does. This reduces the number of times the detection query will be executed during production use.
