Run .sql file using JDBC or any java API

[Venkata Sirish]

Hi ranchers,

This is Venkat. I am currently developing a installer. This intaller has a task of running initial database scripts (.sql file) on a database server.

Is there any way that i can run .sql file using JDBC or hibernate or any other API's.

The intital scripts include,

1) user creation script.
2) create tables for above created user.


Please help me as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance,
Venkat

Java has an IO API you can use to access the file - see the java.io package. Once you have the contents of the file its easy to run them via JDBC or Hibernate.

You can read the file one sql statement at the time and execute it through the JDBC.

for oracle the single line sqls like select, inser etc are terminated by ';'
and PL SQL blocks by '/' so you can use these separators to distinguish the sql sattements
