using ij in an ant task to create a database and nothing else
Someone asked me today how to create a database with ij in an ant task
by just using ij.database if they don't have any script to execute. He
had implemented the following workaround to create a temporary file with
just "quit;" in it.
<tempfile property="${TEMP_DIR}/quit.file"/>
<echo file="${TEMP_DIR}/quit.file" message="quit;"/>
<java classname="org.apache.derby.tools.ij" fork="true"
failonerror="${common.failonerror}" dir="${TEMP_DIR}">
<jvmarg
value="-Djava.ext.dirs=${java.ext.dirs}${path.separator}${install.root}/derby/lib"
/>
<jvmarg value="-Dij.protocol=jdbc:derby:" />
<jvmarg value="-Dij.database=${DB_URL_EXEC};create=true" />
<arg value="${TEMP_DIR}/quit.file" />
</java>
But it seems like there should be a way to do this without creating the
temporary file. ideas?
Thanks

What about using Ant's sql task? I checked and this created the
database without needing to touch any files:
<sql driver="org.apache.derby."
url="jdbc:derby:mydb;create=true"
userid=""
password="">
set schema app;
</sql>
It requires that you have *some* sql in there, so a set schema works nicely.
