- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static SQLDialect[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (SQLDialect c : SQLDialect.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static SQLDialect valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - commercial
```
public final boolean commercial()
```
    Whether this dialect is supported with the jOOQ commercial license only.
  - family
```
public final SQLDialect family()
```
    The dialect family.
    This returns the dialect itself, if it has no "parent family". E.g.
```
 SQLSERVER == SQLSERVER2012.family();
 SQLSERVER == SQLSERVER2008.family();
 SQLSERVER == SQLSERVER.family();
 
```
  - predecessor
```
public final SQLDialect predecessor()
```
    The predecessor dialect.
    If this is a dialect version (e.g. POSTGRES_9_4) within a family (e.g. POSTGRES), then the predecessor will point to the historically previous dialect version (e.g. POSTGRES_9_3) within the same family, or to the dialect itself if there was no predecessor explicitly supported by jOOQ.
  - precedes
```
public final boolean precedes(SQLDialect other)
```
    Whether this dialect precedes an other dialect from the same family.
    This returns:
    - true if this dialect is the same as the other dialect
    - true if this dialect precedes the other dialect via any number of calls to predecessor()
    The above also implies that:
    - false if the two dialects do not belong to the same family
    This is useful to see if some feature is supported by "at least" a given dialect version. Example:
```
 // Do this block only if the chosen dialect supports PostgreSQL 9.4+ features
 if (POSTGRES_9_4.precedes(dialect)) {
 }

 // Do this block only if the chosen dialect supports PostgreSQL 9.3+ features
 else if (POSTGRES_9_3.precedes(dialect)) {
 }

 // Fall back to pre-PostgreSQL 9.3 behaviour
 else {
 }
 
```
  - getName
```
public final String getName()
```
    The name of this dialect as it appears in related class names.
  - getNameLC
```
public final String getNameLC()
```
    The name of this dialect as it appears in related package names.
  - getNameUC
```
public final String getNameUC()
```
    The name of this dialect as it appears in related enum values.
  - families
```
public static final SQLDialect[] families()
```
    Get a list of all family() values.
  - thirdParty
```
public final SQLDialect.ThirdParty thirdParty()
```
    Get access to third party representations of this SQLDialect.
