Maven DBUnit Configuration..how to enable shorthand syntax?

[Duran Harris]

Hi Guys,

Can someone please tell me how to configure the Maven DBUnit to use the shorthand syntax when exporting the xml dataset...
For example when I create XML files for DBUnit to populate the test database from, I can use a shorthand syntax where the XML tag name is the table name and the tag attributes are the column names...
but when I use the maven DBUnit plugin to export the test data as XML from a different database , the XML it generates looks like this:
<table > <column>id</column> <column>column_name</column> <row> <value>101</value> <value>2009</value> </row> <row> <value>102</value> <value>2010</value> </row> <row> <value>103</value> <value>2011</value> </row> <row> <value>104</value> <value>2012</value> </row> </table>

Which is giving me a huge headache since the file is ridiculously large when there are many rows....
Any ideas please?I am using Maven 3.....

Solved.... you just need to specify the format as flat (not xml)
