title: How to import initial data to database with Hibernate?
body: <p>When deploying applications, I often use Hibernate’s capacity to create database schema in order to simplify the deployment. This is easily achievable by configuring hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto property. </p>
  
  <p>However, on occasion I also need to insert some initial data to database, for example root user. Is there a way I could achieve this via hibernate with some kind of load textual file?</p>
  
  <p>I know I could easily program the code that will do so, but just wondering if there is already some utility that can help me achieve the same via configuration?</p>
