Question

I have a sql file that creates a database in mysql:

SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='TRADITIONAL';

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `mydb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci ;
USE `mydb` ;

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `mydb`.`machine`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE  TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `mydb`.`machine` (
  `id` INT NOT NULL ,
  `name` VARCHAR(45) NULL ,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`) );


SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;

Now I would like to load this file into hsqldb 2 database. What do I need to change in the mysql dump to load the data into hsqldb?

Currently I use this code (groovy) to execute the sql file:

def embeddedDbSettings = [url:'jdbc:hsqldb:file:mydb', user:'sa', password:'', driver:'org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver'];
sql =  Sql.newInstance(embeddedDb);
sql.executeInsert new File("./sql/create_database.sql").text;

and all the time I got this crypting exception:

Answer 1

1. Remove all SET lines
2. Change a line with command which creates a database to: CREATE SCHEMA mydb AUTHORIZATION DBA
3. Remove all if not exists – hsqldb does not support this command
4. Remove all commends (not neccesary but needed for the code you find in this post)
5. Remove all `
6. Replace TINYINT (mysql equivalent for boolean) by boolean

7. Execute each command separately:

   String[] commands = new File("./sql/create_database.sql").text.split(";");
   
   for(String command: commands)
   {
   
    // new line is a delimiter in hsqldb
   
     sql.execute command.replace("\n", " ");
   }
   
   // remember to call shutdown otherwise hsqldb will not save your data
   sql.execute "SHUTDOWN"
   sql.close();
