Generate sql statements with flyway placeholders

Question

I trying to save some sql insert statements to files to use them for testing. I would like to use flyway placeholders for that but I'm not able to find any.

Some example in Java:

var sqlTXT = sql.insertInto(table("TBLNAME"))
     .set(field("strCol"), field("strVal").toString())
     .set(field("placeHolderCol"), field(inline("${flyway:user}")))
     .getSQL(ParamType.INLINED);

This will produce SQL string like this one:

insert into TBLNAME (strCol, placeHolderCol) values ('strVal', '${flyway:user}')

and I'm looking for something like this

insert into TBLNAME (strCol, placeHolderCol) values ('strVal', ${flyway:user})

So flyway can substitute ${flyway:user} and insert user name.

Is there any way to render sql like this or will I have to do it "manually"?

Answer 1

Flyway's placeholders are no different from any other "vendor specific" SQL syntax, which isn't supported out of the box by jOOQ, so plain SQL templating has the answer.

Just use

field("${flyway:user}")

Don't use DSL.inline(), which is used for creating "inline values" (e.g. a string literal).
