While DBUnit IS about testing, I think that maybe the most common use
case for DBUnit isn't about testing datasets, but using it to load
test data up, which revolves around #2 on your list!
I've thought about pulling out some sort of core part of DBUnit to be
called DBLoader or something....

Subject: RE: [M2] Database plugin?
Hi Vincent,
I'm looking for a m2 db plugin. Anyone working on one?
Good idea!
I'm currently working with Derby but ideally this plugin should
probably
be
generic (with extensions) and allow to do things like:
1- create schema
2- load data in database
Dbunit (as you know) could do that too.
Yeah... I had briefly thought about it and I had discarded it
because DBUnit
is about testing... but why not...
3- start/stop database (database dependent)
4- create db instance (database dependent and not always
scriptable I
guess)
IMHO the 3 and 4 are maybe the more difficult points.
Yep
Maybe, it is possible to create a wrapper, something like Cargo.
Exactly my thought except I don't have the time to work on this as a
standalone project! So either it exists or we can simply have
extension
points in the db plugin to plugin database-specific behaviors.
Would someone know a Java framework for manipulating databases
and that
could be wrapped in a m2 plugin easily?
I was thinking about DDLUtils (http://db.apache.org/ddlutils/) but I
have
no
experience with it and I don't know how solid it is. Also it
won't do
points
3 and 4 above.
Have a look to Ibatis project too.
I thought that IBatis was an O/R mapping framework in the same
league as
Hibernate and others... Does it offer features for features 3 and
4? I don't
think so. Do you know what it would offer over DDLUtils for
features 1 and
2?
Thanks
