hibernate populate database on first run


It is possible to make Hibernate insert Java Objects only one first run of the application?

I don't want to load an inser.sql file, i think that is possible to instantiate all my java objects in a specific java file and only on the first run hibernate populate de DB with that objects. How to do it?


Solution

  • you can achieve this by providing hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files configuration parameter of hibernate. with this configuration you can specify SQL files to be imported after creation of schema. refer to hibernate docs for more information.
