Unit test MyBatis with HSQL instead of Oracle
I would like to unit test my MyBatis persistence layer using an HSQL in-memory database. The real application uses an Oracle database. This worked fine unitl we started adding auto incremented numbers for the id columns. Oracle requires the use of a sequence to get the incremented number so a sequence called basis_seq was created in the Oracle database. In my MyBatis mapper XML file I have this:
<insert id="insertBasis" parameterType="com.foo.Basis" useGeneratedKeys="true" keyProperty="id">
<selectKey resultType="long" keyProperty="id" order="BEFORE">
SELECT basis_seq.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL
</selectKey>
insert into basis
(id, name)
values
(#{id}, #{name})
</insert>
This works when I run the application but the unit test gets an error:
org.springframework.jdbc.BadSqlGrammarException: Error selecting key or setting result to parameter object. Cause: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: user lacks privilege or object not found: DUAL ; bad SQL grammar []; nested exception is java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: user lacks privilege or object not found: DUAL
As I understand 'DUAL' is some kind of virtual table in Oracle that stores the sequences and I don't have this in my test database. If I remove the <selectKey>
-tag the unit test work (since HSQL can autogenerate ids for columns marked identity
) but not the real application. One workaround would be to create separate MyBatis mapper XML files for the unit tests without the <selectKey>
-tag but this is undesired since I want to test the real configuration.
Is there a way to create and use a sequence in HSQL as well or maybe some MyBatis workaround for this? Or should I use another database for my unit test like H2?
I use:
UPDATE:
After getting the answer from fredt , here is how I edited my Spring configuration:
Before I defined my data source with:
<jdbc:embedded-database id="dataSource">
<jdbc:script location="classpath:test-data/schema.sql" />
<jdbc:script location="classpath:test-data/data.sql" />
</jdbc:embedded-database>
Now I do this:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:test;sql.syntax_ora=true" />
<property name="username" value="sa" />
<property name="password" value="" />
</bean>
<jdbc:initialize-database data-source="dataSource">
<jdbc:script location="classpath:test-data/schema.sql" />
<jdbc:script location="classpath:test-data/data.sql" />
</jdbc:initialize-database>
Also, in schema.sql I need to create the sequences:
CREATE SEQUENCE BASIS_SEQ START WITH 1000 INCREMENT BY 1;
CREATE SEQUENCE OTHER_SEQ START WITH 1000 INCREMENT BY 1;
(if you run this script many times during unit testing, remember to add drop sequence BASIS_SEQ if exists;
to top of schema.sql)
Latest HSQLDB provides extensive Oracle syntax compatibility. All you need is add sql.syntax_ora=true
to your database URL. For example:
jdbc:hsqldb:mem:test;sql.syntax_ora=true
See the Guide
http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/deployment-chapt.html
http://hsqldb.org/doc/2.0/guide/dbproperties-chapt.html
SQL syntax compatibility is constantly extended in new versions of HSQLDB, so it's best to use the latest available version.
You can still use your original 4 line configuration using <jdbc:embedded-database ...>
. Just add following line at the beginning of your test-data/schema.sql file:
SET DATABASE SQL SYNTAX ORA TRUE;
This is effectivelly same as appending sql.syntax_ora=true
to your JDBC URL.
