How to Init Databases With Quarkus

#quarkus monday, april 03, 2023

While developing Quarkus applications that use relational databases, we usually need to control or set the database schema and initial data. There are several approaches in Quarkus, including the dev services, and in the following video we’ll see which approaches make sense for an efficient development workflow.

You can find the example scripts in my coffee-shop project.

Additionally, check out these Quarkus config options:

quarkus.datasource.devservices.init-script-path=<file.sql>
quarkus.hibernate-orm.database.generation=none|drop-and-create|update|...
quarkus.hibernate-orm.sql-load-script=<file.sql>
