Interpreter Configuration
Supported by ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The SQL Interpreter API ships with a variety of settings that govern its behaviour. These settings include:
- 
interpreterDialect: The interpreter input dialect. This dialect is used to decide whether DDL interpretation should be done on an actual in-memory database of a specific type, or using jOOQ's built in DDL interpretation.
- 
interpreterDelayForeignKeyDeclarations: Whether the interpreter should delay the application of foreign key declarations (in case of which forward references are possible).
- 
interpreterLocale: The locale to use for things like case insensitive comparisons.
- 
interpreterNameLookupCaseSensitivity: The identifier case sensitivity that should be applied when interpreting SQL, depending on whether identifiers are quoted or not.
- 
interpreterQuotedNames: Specify how the interpreter handles quoting of interpreted identifiers.
- 
interpreterSearchPath: The search path for unqualified schema objects used by the interpreter.
- 
interpreterWithMetaLookups: Whether the interpreter should perform meta lookups in already interpreted meta data. Setting this toIGNORE_ON_FAILURESeffectively addsIF EXISTSorIF NOT EXISTSclauses to all statements and subclauses.
