The following sample demonstrates how you can export one or many tables from a database to an flat XML dataset file. public class DatabaseExportSample { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // database connection Class driverClass = Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"); Connection jdbcConnection = DriverManager.

Running mvn dbunit:export will export your database to target/dbunit/export.xml. You can override the destination location by passing in a -Ddest parameter: See similar questions...

Flat XML validation is disabled by default even if you are using a DTD. Following sample demonstrate how to load a flat XML dataset with DTD validation enabled: FlatXmlProducer producer = new FlatXmlProducer( new InputSource("dataset.xml")); producer.setValidating(true); IDataSet dataSet = new CachedDataSet(producer); See similar questions...

Using the DTS ActiveX Script Task it is pretty easy to accomplish something like this. Here is a script that I used to create a Package which was scheduled and executed successfully. '********************************************************************** ' Visual Basic ActiveX Script '************************************************************************ Function Main() Dim oCmd, sSQL, oDom ''' If MSXML 4.0 is not installed this will not work! Set oDom = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4. See similar questions...

FlatXmlWriter datasetWriter = new FlatXmlWriter( new FileOutputStream("dataset.xml")); datasetWriter.setDocType("dataset.dtd"); datasetWriter.write(connection.createDataSet()); This can also be done with the DbUnit Ant task. See similar questions...

a) Defines a (logical) model for an XML document -- as opposed to the data in that document -- and stores and retrieves documents according to that model. At a minimum, the model must include elements, attributes, PCDATA, and document order. Examples of such models are the XPath data model, the XML Infoset, and the models implied by the DOM and the events in SAX 1.0. See similar questions...

A help line is available for EXTRACT users at 301-457-4151. There are a few things you can do if you think you have encountered a program bug. See if you can reproduce the problem. You may need to be able to tell the person at the other end of the line the sequence of steps that brought you to the problem. If the program terminated abruptly, i.e., "bombed", then EXTRACT left a 1- line message at the top of the screen that may be the key to determining the problem. See similar questions...

Yes. By default DbUnit is configured to only recognize normal tables. Modify the table type property to work with other table types. For example, use {"TABLE", "VIEW"} for views. Be aware that REFRESH, DELETE and UPDATE operations are not compatible with tables without primary keys. They are not usable with views without overriding primary keys detection. CLEAN_INSERT, INSERT and DELETE_ALL operations are compatible with views. See similar questions...

Yes. However, as the use of XML will require more detailed technical discussions between you and the ILA Scotland technical staff, it is expected that the majority of you will use the PROMT data submission system. Those who wish to investigate the use of the XML data submission method should contact the ILA Scotland technical helpline on 0141 285 6104 to register your interest. See similar questions...

P6Spy is a transparent JDBC proxy-driver specialized to log the statements performed against the actual driver you normally would use. Using p6spy would allow to log the SQL statements issued by DbUnit. Move spy.properties into a directory listed in your classpath. Unlike JAR files, you do not directly reference your property file in the classpath (e.g.: if you have the file c:\r\proj\conf\spy.properties make sure you put c:\r\proj\conf in the classpath). Modify the realdriver line in the spy. See similar questions...

Most XML is hidden; you write your own specialist markup language using it. There are many specialist markup languages built using XML now. For example, See similar questions...

The workaround as of JUnit 3.7 is to add org.w3c.dom.* and org.xml.sax.* to your excluded.properties. It's just a matter of time before this fix becomes incorporated into the released version of JUnit's excluded.properties, since JAXP is a standard part of JDK 1.4. It will be just like excluding org.omg.*. By the way, if you download the JUnit source from its Sourceforge CVS, you will find that these patterns have already been added to the default excluded.

The system we use requires some high-level programming knowledge. We use a relational database, MySQL, along with our own customized programs and storage system. You can read about our image retrieval system here: http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/retrieval.html. Our programs are freely available to other developers who want to build similar systems. The page above contains instructions on how to do that. There are several commercial image databases. See similar questions...

A BLOB (Binary Large OBject) is essentially an array of bytes (byte[]), stored in the database. You extract the data in two steps: Call either getBinaryStream() or getBytes() in the extracted Blob object to retrieve the java byte[] which is the Blob object. Note A Blob is essentially a pointer to a byte array (called LOCATOR in database-talk), so the java.sql.Blob object essentially wraps a byte pointer. Thus, you must extract all data from the database blob. See similar questions...

Think of a DataSet as a local in-memory copy of a set of database tables and their associated relationships and constraints. With the client-server model in the past, client applications held onto a connection to the data source and updated and added... See similar questions...

It is not intended that you edit the snapshot files, however, there is nothing to prevent you from doing so. It is very easy to corrupt an XML file making it malformed or invalid. Having said that, an XML editor can ease the pain. You must of course understand the XML document structure. That is, the structure of the database snapshot files. If you must edit these snapshot files, then email us for a copy of the DTD. See similar questions...
