Run test insert scripts in before and after Junit testing Hibernate

Question

I have a Junit test case for testing a method which require some initial data. The data required is not part of the current schema used by my hibernate project. So I cannot use model object to create that insert data. Is there any way to run sql scripts before and after running junit test ?

The Non Hibernate way is the following

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("psql -U user -d db -h host -f file.sql");

How to handle this using hibernate ?

Answer 1

I solved this by running native sql query using the hibernate api

Query persistableQuery = entityManager.createNativeQuery("QUERY"); 
persistableQuery.executeUpdate();

The @Sql annotation is my first option. Haven't tried it, but since you are using Spring, you can also use ScriptUtils in your @Before method:

Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
ScriptUtils.executeSqlScript(connection, new ClassPathResource("test_db.sql"));

还有一个名为dbunit的好库，它允许在junit测试之前和之后将数据库设置为已知状态。
