[java] How to execute .sql script file using JDBC

Running a .sql script using MySQL with JDBC

I have an SQL script file which contains 40-50 SQL statements. Is it possible to run this script file using JDBC?

I use this bit of code to import sql statements created by mysqldump:

public static void importSQL(Connection conn, InputStream in) throws SQLException
{
    Scanner s = new Scanner(in);
    s.useDelimiter("(;(\r)?\n)|(--\n)");
    Statement st = null;
    try
    {
        st = conn.createStatement();
        while (s.hasNext())
        {
            String line = s.next();
            if (line.startsWith("/*!") && line.endsWith("*/"))
            {
                int i = line.indexOf(' ');
                line = line.substring(i + 1, line.length() - " */".length());
            }

            if (line.trim().length() > 0)
            {
                st.execute(line);
            }
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        if (st != null) st.close();
    }
}

You should be able to parse the SQL file into statements. And run a single statement a time. If you know that your file consists of simple insert/update/delete statements you can use a semicolon as statement delimiter. In common case you have a task to create your specific SQL-dialect parser.

You can read the script line per line with a BufferedReader and append every line to a StringBuilder so that the script becomes one large string.

Then you can create a Statement object using JDBC and call statement.execute(stringBuilder.toString()).

Another option, this DOESN'T support comments, very useful with AmaterasERD DDL export for Apache Derby:

public void executeSqlScript(Connection conn, File inputFile) {

    // Delimiter
    String delimiter = ";";

    // Create scanner
    Scanner scanner;
    try {
        scanner = new Scanner(inputFile).useDelimiter(delimiter);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
        return;
    }

    // Loop through the SQL file statements 
    Statement currentStatement = null;
    while(scanner.hasNext()) {

        // Get statement 
        String rawStatement = scanner.next() + delimiter;
        try {
            // Execute statement
            currentStatement = conn.createStatement();
            currentStatement.execute(rawStatement);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            // Release resources
            if (currentStatement != null) {
                try {
                    currentStatement.close();
                } catch (SQLException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            currentStatement = null;
        }
    }
scanner.close();
}

Just read it and then use the preparedstatement with the full sql-file in it.

(If I remember good)

ADD: You can also read and split on ";" and than execute them all in a loop. Do not forget the comments and add again the ";"

I had the same problem trying to execute an SQL script that creates an SQL database. Googling here and there I found a Java class initially written by Clinton Begin which supports comments (see http://pastebin.com/P14HsYAG). I modified slightly the file to cater for triggers where one has to change the default DELIMITER to something different. I've used that version ScriptRunner (see http://pastebin.com/sb4bMbVv). Since an (open source and free) SQLScriptRunner class is an absolutely necessary utility, it would be good to have some more input from developers and hopefully we'll have soon a more stable version of it.
