It´s possible to do Database driven tests using data tables using Karate? [duplicate] - karate

Question

This question already has an answer here:
How to pull data from a DB to compare with rest api response from karate
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
When writing my API tests with Cucumber I have implemented some step definitions that allow specifying the data that needs to exist in the database for each scenario.
Something like this:
Given I have database table "users" with data:
| id | name |
| 1 | User 1 |
This will do an insert in the specified table.
Is it possible to do something like this with Karate?
Thank you.

Yes it is, you will need a insertRows method in your DBUTIL file which i borrowed from #peter
you can then call the methods and pass the variable from the table
Background:
* def config = {username: 'XXXX', password: 'XXXXX', url: 'jdbc:oracle:thin:#XXXXX.net:6236/XXXX_XXXXX', driverClassName: 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'}
* def DbUtil = Java.type('util.DbUtils')
* def db = new DbUtil(config)
def Value = db.insertrows(INSERT INTO sales.promotions (promotion_name,discount, start_date,expired_date)VALUES(<name>);)*
below is the example of DB file, you will need to add dependencies with maven or gradle
