Create/drop/dump PostgreSQL databases from Maven

db-manager-plugin

About

This is a very simple Maven plugin that can create, drop, and dump PostgreSQL and MySql databases.

Usage

The plugin requires the JDBC url, username, and password to be specified. Add the appropriate version of the JDBC driver as a dependency.

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.vecna</groupId>
  <artifactId>db-manager-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
	<url>jdbc:postgresql://localhost/mydb</url>
	<username>user</username>
	<password>mypass</password>
  </configuration>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>postgresql</groupId>
      <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
      <version>9.3-1102.jdbc41</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.vecna</groupId>
  <artifactId>db-manager-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
	<url>jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb</url>
	<username>user</username>
	<password>mypass</password>
  </configuration>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>mysql</groupId>
      <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
      <version>5.1.43</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>

Goals

• create: creates the database (by running "create database ...").
• drop: drops the database (by running "drop database ...").
• dump: dumps the database to a file (requires pg_dump or mysqldump).

Other DBs

The plugin only works with PostgreSQL and MySql. To support another database, create a new implementation of the DbStrategy interface.
