[dbunit-developer] Usage for dbunit to load data

[Mansour Al A. <man...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I have been using apache ddlutils for some time to load seeds (initial
data) into tables. The requirements to populate a DB for
initialization is very common. I noticed that dbunit provides this
functionality and it's very stable (not maven plugin).

However, the scope of dbunit focuses only on unit testing, and DBunit
does not provide functionality to create schema from xml like
ddlutils.

I am not sure if there's plans to separate dbunit code, for modules,
to allow using it outside unit testing. For example: a module for
loading data, and one for assertion.

Are there any interest in something like this ?

Thank you.
