Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
With apache/datafusion-sqlparser-rs#2174, it is now possible to safely derive custom dialects from existing ones, without worrying about breaking hardcoded dialect_of! calls (apache/datafusion-sqlparser-rs#1430):
derive_dialect!(MyCustomDialect, PostgreSqlDialect,
overrides = {
supports_from_first_select = true,
},
preserve_type_id = true,
);
Datafusion allows configuring the dialect in the SessionConfig, however only a fixed list of values is allowed.
Would it be possible to allow setting our own dialect instance in the config? Perhaps with a with_dialect() method on the SessionConfig?
There might be limitations I'm missing (e.g. the underlying SqlParserOptions might need to be serializable with atomic values, etc).
Describe the solution you'd like
No response
Describe alternatives you've considered
Extending the RelationPlanner: https://datafusion.apache.org/blog/2026/01/12/extending-sql/ (doesn't seem applicable).
Defining a custom SQL parser, but not clear how to configure DF to use it.
