----------------------------------
If you are using this for testing (and maybe even if you are not), then this is
one approach:

> Portable Data with Cayenne - database load/unload feature
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CAY-968
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-968
> Project: Cayenne
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Cayenne Core Library
> Affects Versions: UNDEFINED FUTURE
> Reporter: Michael Bergens
> Assignee: Andrus Adamchik
> Priority: Minor
>
> Here's a dream: I run an ant target or a set of API calls with proper
> configuration against a database configured with Cayenne, it gives me a set
> of files or just one file, possibly some compressed archive format such as
> zip which contain all I need to recreate the same data under the same DBMS or
> a different one. So whenever needed, I can send this file or files to a
> colleague who would run a reverse ant target (or a set of API calls) and have
> the same database ready for use in the DBMS of his choice.
> Cayenne has plenty of good stuff which would make this possible and my team
> is currently implementing subset of this functionality tailored to our
> specifics: it requires some manual effort on the part of indicating the
> sequence in which the tables should be loaded, manual adjustment of primary
> key generation info after loading a table etc. Would be good to have this
> implemented in a core or an optional extension. The portable format should be
> versionable plain text such as XML or JSON - that would allow me to to use
> the VCS to keep my test data, demo data etc, properly versioned.
