[hibernate-team] PostgreSQLDialect

Hi Guys,

I'm one of the hibernate(http://hibernate.org) team commiters and I'm here
to ask you for a little help :-)
I'm trying to improve the support of hibernate to Postgre(and other
databases), but I'm don't have *that* knowledge in database functions and
behavior. I'm already done a couple of improvements, but I'm trying to map
all your functions, for example, to allow our users to use most of database
functions with HQL. And to do that we must do some changes.

What we must do(ok, what we *can* do :-) ) is change the file bellow, adding
the functions that are useful to this file:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/core/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/dialect/PostgreSQLDialect.java

This class is just a class that says to hibernate "hey, I'm a Postgree
database and I'm work that way". Here we register database types(with
registerColumnType()), functions(with registerFunction()), and override some
methods methods that says to hibernate some database behaviors. This class
extends our base Dialect, that is just a class with some basic info.

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/hibernate/core/trunk/core/src/main/java/org/hibernate/dialect/Dialect.java

So, if someone wanna help, please let me know :-)

Cya!
