Is there an equivalent in Hibernate to do standard inserts when creating a database?

For example in MySQL Workbench you're able to design the database tables and define some standard inserts in them that are required for an application to work.

Is there a way to do this in Hibernate?

I dont think anythng like tht is existing... but you can always do this is the DB initialization code.

You can include an import.sql in your classpath, which will be imported if the schema is created by hibernate (hbm2ddl.auto should be 'create').

Look here: http://www.hibernate.org/381.html

Thanks a lot! That worked like a charm. Is there a way to delete this file after the initial import? I don't want this to happen more than once.
