JDBC Testing Support

JdbcTestUtils

The org.springframework.test.jdbc package contains JdbcTestUtils, which is a collection of JDBC-related utility functions intended to simplify standard database testing scenarios. Specifically, JdbcTestUtils provides the following static utility methods.

  • countRowsInTable(..): Counts the number of rows in the given table.

  • countRowsInTableWhere(..): Counts the number of rows in the given table by using the provided WHERE clause.

  • deleteFromTables(..): Deletes all rows from the specified tables.

  • deleteFromTableWhere(..): Deletes rows from the given table by using the provided WHERE clause.

  • dropTables(..): Drops the specified tables.

AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests and AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests provide convenience methods that delegate to the aforementioned methods in JdbcTestUtils.

Embedded Databases

The spring-jdbc module provides support for configuring and launching an embedded database, which you can use in integration tests that interact with a database. For details, see Embedded Database Support and Testing Data Access Logic with an Embedded Database.
