sql-maven-plugin: clean multiple databases?

Question

I would like to clean and fill two different databases for integration testing with a Maven project. I use the sql-maven-plugin, but I wasn't able to make it handle different databases (I can have only one plugin declaration for the sql-maven-plugin, and the configuration is shared between its executions).

How do you guys solve that? Is there any workaround to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can simply define all of the configuration within each individual execution section and configure as required. Instead of having a shared configuration.

So here is an example to connect to two different HSQLDB databases:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>sql-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.5</version>

    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hsqldb</groupId>
        <artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.9</version>
      </dependency>
      <!-- you could add dependencies to other database drivers here -->
    </dependencies>

    <executions>
      <!-- execution against database 1 -->
      <execution>
        <id>database1</id>
        <phase>process-test-resources</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>execute</goal>
        </goals>
        <!-- specific configuration for execution against database1 -->
        <configuration>
          <driver>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver>
          <url>jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:9999/database1</url>
          <username>sa</username>
          <password></password>
          <sqlCommand>select count(TYPE_NAME) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_TABLES</sqlCommand>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
      <!-- execution against database 2 -->
      <execution>
        <id>database2</id>
        <phase>process-test-resources</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>execute</goal>
        </goals>
        <!-- specific configuration for execution against database2 -->
        <configuration>
          <driver>org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver</driver>
          <url>jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:8888/database2</url>
          <username>sa</username>
          <password></password>
          <sqlCommand>select count(TYPE_NAME) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_TABLES</sqlCommand>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>
