/**
 * SPI strategy that allows for customizing integration with a specific JDO provider,
 * in particular regarding transaction management and exception translation. To be
 * implemented for specific JDO providers such as JPOX, Kodo, Lido, Versant Open Access.
 *
 * <p>JDO 2.0 defines standard ways for most of the functionality covered here.
 * Hence, Spring's {@link DefaultJdoDialect} uses the corresponding JDO 2.0 methods
 * by default, to be overridden in a vendor-specific fashion if necessary.
 * Vendor-specific subclasses of {@link DefaultJdoDialect} are still required for special
 * transaction semantics and more sophisticated exception translation (if needed).
 *
 * <p>In general, it is recommended to derive from {@link DefaultJdoDialect} instead
 * of implementing this interface directly. This allows for inheriting common
 * behavior (present and future) from {@link DefaultJdoDialect}, only overriding
 * specific hooks to plug in concrete vendor-specific behavior.
