Jooq Maven and multiple schemas

Question

I'm trying to use maven to auto generate pojo for my postgres database. Though even if I take maven out of the equation I have the issue.

My data is split upon multiple schemas, and I'll need to work with all of them in my code base. I'd like to know how I can accomplish this short of setting up a task for each one of them in maven. This is what I have so far.

Obviously this only seems to work for a single schema. I'd like to be able to generate POJOs for multiple ones. I tried multiple xml elements, or comma delimited but it just errors out.

mvn -PDBGen generate-sources #is the command i use

Answer 1

The secret is to replace this:

<inputSchema>ui</inputSchema>

By this:

<schemata>
  <schema>
    <inputSchema>ui</inputSchema>
  </schema>
  <schema>
    <inputSchema>other_schema</inputSchema>
  </schema>
</schemata>

You could also entirely remove all <inputSchema/> configuration, then the jOOQ code generator will generate classes for all the schemas it discovers (including pg_catalog and information_schema)

More details can be found in the jOOQ manual.
