This is available in Flyway CLI only

Description

You can configure this parameter to specify the SQL dialect for analysis, overriding Flyway's automatic dialect detection based on the JDBC connection string. This is useful when you want to enforce specific dialect rules regardless of the database type Flyway is configured to use.

See Code Analysis for more information.

Type

String

Default

If not specified, Flyway will automatically detect the SQL dialect based on the database connection configuration. If auto-detection fails, Flyway will fall back to default dialects: ansi for SQLFluff and text for Regex rules.

Possible Values

• ansi
• bigquery
• clickhouse
• databricks
• db2
• duckdb
• mariadb
• mysql
• oracle
• postgres
• redshift
• snowflake
