Question

I am writing an eclipse RCP app and I am trying to use a separate db for tests to prevent corrupting my production db. During the setup of the test db i need to execute an sql file to fill it with test data.

Is there a way to tell the app to use a different db and execute a specific sql script (maybe via launch properties or maybe fragments or sth else)?

Thank you

I found and am using a different approach now, more RCP-ish IMHO. I define a fragment to override the database props and replacing a dummy query file in the host plug-in. Then i define two features – one for the testing with the fragment, and the production feature without the fragment. And then use the features in different products – one for production, one for testing. Works fine
