Constructor Detail

### ResourceDatabasePopulator

    public ResourceDatabasePopulator()

Method Detail

### addScript

    public void addScript(Resource script)

  Add a script to execute to populate the database.

  Parameters:
    `script` - the path to a SQL script

### setScripts

    public void setScripts(Resource[] scripts)

  Set the scripts to execute to populate the database.

  Parameters:
    `scripts` - the scripts to execute

### setSqlScriptEncoding

    public void setSqlScriptEncoding(String sqlScriptEncoding)

  Specify the encoding for SQL scripts, if different from the platform encoding. Note setting this property has no effect on added scripts that are already `encoded resources`.

  See Also:
    `addScript(Resource)`

### setCommentPrefix

    public void setCommentPrefix(String commentPrefix)

  Set the line prefix that identifies comments in the SQL script. Default is "--".

### setContinueOnError

    public void setContinueOnError(boolean continueOnError)

  Flag to indicate that all failures in SQL should be logged but not cause a failure. Defaults to false.

### setIgnoreFailedDrops

    public void setIgnoreFailedDrops(boolean ignoreFailedDrops)

  Flag to indicate that a failed SQL `DROP` statement can be ignored.

  This is useful for non-embedded databases whose SQL dialect does not support an `IF EXISTS` clause in a `DROP`. The default is false so that if the populator runs accidentally, it will fail fast when the script starts with a `DROP`.

### populate

    public void populate(Connection connection)
                  throws SQLException

  Description copied from interface: `DatabasePopulator`
  Populate the database using the JDBC connection provided.

  Specified by:
    `populate` in interface `DatabasePopulator`
  Parameters:
    `connection` - the JDBC connection to use to populate the db; already configured and ready to use
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if an unrecoverable data access exception occurs during database population
