Creating Database Tables Using ANT
By: Sri Ganesh in JDBC Tutorials on 2007-10-12
First, you can use a properties file to feed ANT, which has a simple sql
target. Create a simple properties file, such as the one below:
# Database properties are in derby.properties
db.delimiter=;
db.root=${javaee.home}/derby
db.driver=org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
db.datasource=org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDataSource
db.host=localhost
db.port=1527
db.sid=sun-appserv-samples
db.url=jdbc:derby://${db.host}:${db.port}/${db.sid};create=true;
db.user=APP
db.pwd=APP
Next, create a build.xml file that includes targets for
compiling the Java code as well as a target similar to the following:
<target name="create-db_common" depends="init,start-db,delete-db"
description="Create database tables and populate database.">
-
<sql driver="${db.driver}" url="${db.url}" userid="${db.user}"
password="${db.password}" classpathref="db.classpath"
delimiter="${db.delimiter}" autocommit="false" onerror="abort">
<transaction src="
{javaee.tutorial.home}/examples/common/sql/${db.vendor}/tutorial.sql"/>
</sql>
</target>
The tutorial.sql file can contain the commands to create the
tables and, possibly, populate the tables if need be, such as the example below:
create table COFFEES(cof_name varchar32, price int, sup_id int, price float, sales int, total int);
The ';' matches the db.delimiter property.
NetBeans contains everything you need, including the Java DB and ANT.
