Dialect
A Dialect is the glue between Kysely and the underlying database engine.
See the built-in PostgresDialect as an example of a dialect. Users can implement their own dialects and use them by passing it in the KyselyConfig.dialect property.
interface Dialect {
createAdapter(): DialectAdapter;
createDriver(): Driver;
createIntrospector(db: Kysely<any>): DatabaseIntrospector;
createQueryCompiler(): QueryCompiler;
