The database dialect is the software layer in SymmetricDS that contains routines specific to a database platform. SymmetricDS implements data replication using a general architecture that works across platforms. When a task needs specific details for a database, it calls the database dialect to perform them. Examples of database-specific tasks handled by the dialect are installing triggers, querying metadata, and altering tables. By writing an implementation for the dialect interfaces, support for a new database can be added to SymmetricDS.
