[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-4355) Allow running tests against different databases by using a simple switch

Allow running tests against different databases by using a simple switch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-4355 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4355 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Task Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.5 Currently you have to edit hibernate.properties to be able to run the tests against a different database. The settings of this file should be externalized and filters should be used to filter appropriate settings according to a property, eg 'ant clean junit -Dtargetdb=mysql'. To make this really useful one would also need a way within the test to skip it for a particular database. Some tests don't make sense against a certain target db. This might be a separate issue. Maybe one could switch to Junit 4 and add some custom annotation for enabling/disabling a test depending on the db.
