Marcel,

Yes I know it’s a challenge to try to create “ANSI SQL” files.

I've just thought of a problem you will inevitably run into with your
approach: jOOQ does not give you any guarantee of "ANSI SQL." If you pick
any dialect (e.g. PostgreSQL), it will generate a "reasonable" SQL query or
expression for your target PostgreSQL dialect and version. This may or may
not coincide with "ANSI SQL." There is no guarantee that it will remain the
same over jOOQ versions. In the past, there have been numerous cases where
a better syntax came along, and jOOQ switched to generating that instead of
what PostgreSQL offered before.

So, you should see each jOOQ SQLDialect as what it is. A dialect for a
*specific* target database product (AND version!)

Even SQLDialect.DEFAULT will not be ANSI SQL. There's an epic issue to
change it to reflect the "most expected" syntax:
https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/9085

But it is not tested on any database. Its main purpose is toString()
rendering when no other dialect is available.

If you're using jOOQ, I'd use "jOOQ SQL":
https://www.jooq.org/doc/latest/manual/sql-building/sql-parser/sql-parser-grammar/

... and use the parser to translate it to the target dialect.

Another option is to create dedicated SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL sql

That's another option of course, and again jOOQ's parser / translator can
help you with that. The difference would be whether you translate the files
at runtime (former idea) or at compile time (latter idea)

This was because of:
https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/3648

I've created an issue to investigate this:
https://github.com/jOOQ/jOOQ/issues/16498

You can implement your own data type binding to override this behaviour. If
you're using the parser, the parser would have to use some sort of meta
data lookup where your binding is made available, e.g. by using generated
code, or by hand-writing TableImpl classes.

There are always subtle differences. For example, MariaDB supports INSERT
.. RETURNING, MySQL doesn't. It doesn't apply in your case, but such
differences always exist. Perhaps better patch the generated SQL with a
regex for the time being. Or, if you execute the SQL with JDBC, then there
shouldn't be a problem with the {d '...'} syntax
