I'm really struggling to understand how I can use flyway to manage an oracle database.
The database in question has 3 schemas.
If I stipulate the 3 schemas in the flyway plugin definition in my gradle file, how do I manage the creation of the users themselves, and the tablespaces they use?
Any tips or suggestions would be more than welcome.
Creating a DDL for a baseline for flyway
If You would create the DB with some limited super-user account, You could use it to create users and tablespaces, having a separate Flyway migration instance. That is:
Flyway migration by super-user from sql/db-configuration/ using dedicated flyway.conf
creates users, tablespaces, and all other configuration
Flyway migration by application-user from sql/app-code/ using dedicated flyway.conf
regular application code

I have a SpringBoot application with in memory H2 database and Spring Data JPA.
I need to configure a #Scheduled job that drops and recreates the schema and loads it with fresh data from a file.
How can I programmatically recreate the schema in my application?
You can use database version control tool like eg Liquibase to create and maintain database schema definition as well as initial data. Than, you will be able to easily invoke database migration including drop of whole schema during applicaiton runtime. IT has some integration with Spring Boot already.
Keep in mind, that you will have to lock database access in order to execute migration - DDL is not transactional, so database will be of no use anyway during the migration process and you app can yeld many errors during that time.
If locking is not an option - you should be able to create another instance or at least separate schema in running instance, run migration against it and if everything is done, "switch" peristence context to use brand new schema (and probably remove the old one)
I'm trying to populate my database with around 150 different values (one for each row).
So far, I've found two different ways to implement the inserts, but none of them seems to be the best way to do it.
Flyway + Postgres: One of them is to create a migration file and make use of the COPY command from postgres but to do so, I need to give superuser permissions to the user and that doesn't seem to be a good choice.
Spring boot: place a data.sql file in the classpath with a lot of inserts. If I'm not wrong I would have to write 150 insert into... statements.
In previous projects, I have used liquibase and it has a loadData command which is very convenient to do what is says it does. You just give the file, table name and that's it. You end up with your csv file values in your table rows.
Is there an alike way to do that in flyway? What is the best way to populate the database?
Actually there is a way, you can find more info on the official documentation's page
You need to add some spring boot properties too:
spring.flyway.enabled=true
spring.flyway.locations=classpath:/db/migration
spring.flyway.schemas=public
Properties details here
In my case, a use Repetables scripts by my needs but take care with the prefixes
Flyway is a direct competitor of liquidbase, so if you need to track the status of migrations, manage distributed migration (many instances of the same service start simultaneously, and only one instance should actually execute a migration), check upon startup which migration should be applied and execute only relevant migrations, and all other benefits that you have previously expected from "migration management system", then you should use Flyway rather than managing SQLs directly.
Spring boot has integrations with both Flyway and Liquidbase, so you can place your migrations in the "resources" folder, define a couple of properties and spring boot will run Flyway automatically.
For example, here you can find a tutorial of Flyway integration with spring boot.
Since flyway's migrations are SQL files- you can place there whatever you want (even plSQL I believe), it will even manage transaction per migration guaranteeing that the migration "atomicity" (all or nothing, no partial migration).
So the straightforward approach would be creating a SQL file file with 150 inserts and running it via flyway in spring or even via maven depending on your actual setup.
If you want more fine-grained control and the SQL is not flexible enough, its possible to implement Migration in Java Code. See Official Flyway Documentation
I have a spring-boot application with PostgreSQL. Some of the tables are created using models and other tables have to be created prior to the start of the application or while starting the application. That can be done by running an SQL file while startup.
But DB tend to change over time, we may have to alter some of the tables, add some new tables without disturbing the existing data in the tables, etc.
Is there a way to add new SQL files, and run only the SQL files which was not run in spring-boot application each time when we rebuild and rerun? And don't run any of the SQL files while start-up if everything were already executed?
For your scenario liquibase is the best solution. You can merge liquibase on your spring boot application.
Ex: https://javadeveloperzone.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-liquibase-example/
You can use flyway. It allows you to have versioned sql scripts:
flywaydb.org
flywaydb spring boot plugin
Examples:

Incrementally changing your db with java and flyway
For my upcoming microservice deployments I intend to use spring-boot and Flyway as the database migration tool. For security reasons I need to draw a line between the DDL schema creation parts (create, alter, drop table etc.) and accessing the DML data (select, insert, update, delete) stored inside the Oracle db.
I was thinking of using two different datasources, the first used solely for Flyway operations and the second for the real application.
I havent't found a best practise implementation to solve this problem yet. Any advice or link would be very helpful.
I would like to use hsql within my DAO unit tests for a web application. The web app is written against mysql and uses three different schemas within the same mysql database. Some schemas has FK relationships with data in the other schemas. If I'm to unit test, I must be able to execute against a database that can hold multiple schemas.
I know that HSQL supports multiple schemas, but I don't know how to configure hsql to have multiple schemas set up for an in-memory database. I read that I can define multiple schemas in the server.properties file, but the file needs to be in the location of where the java class was called -- the junit.jar location? If so, that would be hard to support in my Java Maven application. How can I:
Run an in-memory hsql database to start up with three databases?
Where would I place the server.properties file in my Maven app?
Could I point hsql to use a server.properties file in a location other than where the junit jar is (that's a showstopper for me)?
Is it possible to configure multiple schemas for an in-memory database just via a tricked out jdbc url?
I wish I could untangle the schemas from each other, but that's not possible at this time.
Thanks for your help!
HSQLDB supports multiple schemas in the same database. Foreign keys can reference tables from different schemas. The following apply to the very latest HSQLDB 2.2.6 snapshot available from http://hsqldb.org
Before running your tests, execute CREATE SCHEMA schemaname for each schema.
Doesn't matter where, you can specify the absolute path on the command line arguments when running. See the HSQLD Guide and JavaDoc on server.
Yes.
No. You use the SQL statement to create the schemas.
Note you have two options for running HSQLDB, one is as a server, the other is as an embedded database. In the case of server, it must be started before the test run. In both cases, you need to connect to the database and create the schemas before your tests.
It is possible to create different db by setting db name. By default, it creates the db name as testdb, but in case we want to create multiple db, then set the name explicitly.
new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder()
.setType(EmbeddedDatabaseType.HSQL).setName("DB_NAME")
.addScript("DDL.SQL")
.addScript("DML.SQL")
.build();
If you run the below line mutiple time, you can see the databases:
DatabaseManagerSwing.main(new String[] { "--url", "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:" + dbnaes, "--user", "sa", "--password", "" });
