Class SpringSQLSchemaUpdater

All Implemented Interfaces:
Aware, BeanFactoryAware, InitializingBean

public class SpringSQLSchemaUpdater extends SQLSchemaUpdater implements BeanFactoryAware, InitializingBean
SQLSchemaUpdater optimized for use with Spring.

An example of how this class can be combined with custom XML to define an updater, all its updates, and a SchemaUpdatingDataSource that automatically updates the database schema:


  <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:dellroad-stuff="http://dellroad-stuff.googlecode.com/schema/dellroad-stuff"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
      http://dellroad-stuff.googlecode.com/schema/dellroad-stuff
        http://dellroad-stuff.googlecode.com/svn/wiki/schemas/dellroad-stuff-1.0.xsd">

     <!-- DataSource that automatically updates the database schema -->
     <bean id="dataSource" class="org.dellroad.stuff.schema.SchemaUpdatingDataSource"
       p:dataSource-ref="realDataSource" p:schemaUpdater-ref="schemaUpdater"/>

     <!--
          Database updater bean. This is used on first access to the DataSource above. Notes:
            - "databaseInitialization" is used to initialize the schema (first time only)
            - "updateTableInitialization" is used to initialize the update table (first time only)
            - In this example, we just use dellroad-stuff's update table initialization for MySQL
            - The <dellroad-stuff:sql-update> beans below will be auto-detected
     -->
     <bean id="schemaUpdater" class="org.dellroad.stuff.spring.SpringSQLSchemaUpdater">
         <property name="databaseInitialization">
             <dellroad-stuff:sql resource="classpath:databaseInit.sql"/>
         </property>
         <property name="updateTableInitialization">
             <dellroad-stuff:sql resource="classpath:org/dellroad/stuff/schema/updateTable-mysql.sql"/>
         </property>
     </bean>

      <!-- Schema update to add the 'phone' column to the 'User' table -->
      <dellroad-stuff:sql-update id="addPhone">ALTER TABLE User ADD phone VARCHAR(64)</dellroad-stuff:sql-update>

      <!-- Schema update to run some complicated external SQL script -->
      <dellroad-stuff:sql-update id="majorChanges" depends-on="addPhone" resource="classpath:majorChanges.sql"/>

      <!-- Multiple SQL commands that will be automatically separated into distinct updates -->
      <dellroad-stuff:sql-update id="renameColumn">
          ALTER TABLE User ADD newName VARCHAR(64);
          ALTER TABLE User SET newName = oldName;
          ALTER TABLE User DROP oldName;
      </dellroad-stuff:sql-update>

      <!-- Add more schema updates over time as needed and everything just works... -->

  </beans>
 

In the case no schema updates are explicitly configured, it is required that this updater and all of its schema updates are defined in the same ListableBeanFactory.
