If it helps, here is one of my test classes that used RunScript to load data:
public abstract class TestDatabaseBase extends TestBase { private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(TestDatabaseBase.class); @BeforeClass public static void loadSQL() throws SQLException { log.info("Loading Organizations."); RunScript.execute(CayenneUtils.getDataNodeConnection(CayenneUtils.createDataContext()), new InputStreamReader(ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("sql/organizations.sql"))); log.info("Loading Organizational Units."); RunScript.execute(CayenneUtils.getDataNodeConnection(CayenneUtils.createDataContext()), new InputStreamReader(ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("sql/organizational_units.sql"))); } } (Let me know if you need CayenneUtils.getDataNodeConnection() ...) Part of my organizations.sql file: insert into s_organizations (pk, code, name, smca) values (100, 'ARMY', 'Army', 1), (101, 'NAVY', 'Navy', 1), (102, 'AF', 'Air Force', 1), ........... (???, '???', '???', 0); -- close it off UPDATE AUTO_PK_SUPPORT SET NEXT_ID = 160 WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'l_organizations'; mrg On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 9:33 AM, Hugi Thordarson <h...@karlmenn.is> wrote: > > Thanks, Michael and Ari!
