#TranSMART Core-DB#

The transmart-core-db project is a Grails plugin that implements the API described in transmart-core-api. It should be included as a runtime dependency for the transmartApp.

This plugin also includes additional functionality besides implementing the API, like defining controllers on which the application relies. Gradually, we will want to refactor these components into separate plugins.

##Running the integration tests##

Ideally, one would run the integration tests against a temporary in-memory database. This is the default. The grails-app/conf/DataSource.groovy has an H2 data source configured.

However, transitional considerations recommend also running the integration tests against a production database (PostgreSQL or Oracle). For this, you can either change the in-tree DataSource.groovy file mentioned before or you can (preferably) create a file in ~/.grails/transmartConfig/DataSource.groovy where you override the in-tree configuration. This file has the same format as the in-tree one. The last option is preferred because it avoids accidental commits to the in-tree file.
