- Method Detail
  - createSqlDialect
```
SqlDialect createSqlDialect(JDBCAdapterContext context)
```
    Create a new SqlDialect.

    Returns:
    
    new SqlDialect instance
  - getSqlDialectName
```
String getSqlDialectName()
```
    Get the name of the SQL dialect this factory creates, e.g. MYSQL, POSTGRESQL or EXASOL.
    
    Returns:
    
    SQL dialect name
  - getAdapterProjectShortTag
```
String getAdapterProjectShortTag()
```
    Get a short tag for the adapter project. This will be used for telemetry to identify products.
    Please make sure that this is the same short tag as in file error_code_config.yml of each adapter project.
    Example values: VSMYSQL, VSPG (Postgres VS), VSEXA, VSDY (DynamoDB VS), VSS3, VSADLG2

    short tag for the adapter project
  - getSqlDialectVersion
```
String getSqlDialectVersion()
```
    Get the version of the SqlDialect. This version will be used for logging and telemetry.
    Adapters can use VersionCollector to fetch the version from the metadata in the jar file. For example:
    new VersionCollector("META-INF/maven/com.exasol/mysql-virtual-schema/pom.properties").getVersionNumber()
    Returns:
    
    Virtual Schema Adapter version
