Actually, it is so-called connection dialect. You can connect to DB
in dialect 3 and issue queries in dialect 1. In this case SQL
processing will follow rules for dialect 1.
This is rather dangerous feature, because, say, SP, created using
query in dialect 1 will behave oddly in dialect 3 database.
