/**
 * An SQL Dialect for Frontbase.  Assumes you're using the latest version
 * of the FrontBase JDBC driver, available from <tt>http://frontbase.com/</tt>
 * <p>
 * <b>NOTE</b>: The latest JDBC driver is not always included with the
 * latest release of FrontBase.  Download the driver separately, and enjoy
 * the informative release notes.
 * <p>
 * This dialect was tested with JDBC driver version 2.3.1.  This driver
 * contains a bug that causes batches of updates to fail.  (The bug should be
 * fixed in the next release of the JDBC driver.)  If you are using JDBC driver
 * 2.3.1, you can work-around this problem by setting the following in your
 * <tt>hibernate.properties</tt> file: <tt>hibernate.jdbc.batch_size=15</tt>
