- Method Detail
  - populate
```
void populate(Connection connection)
       throws SQLException,
              ScriptException
```
    Populate, initialize, or clean up the database using the provided JDBC connection.
    Concrete implementations may throw an SQLException if an error is encountered but are strongly encouraged to throw a specific ScriptException instead. For example, Spring's ResourceDatabasePopulator and DatabasePopulatorUtils wrap all SQLExceptions in ScriptExceptions.
    Parameters:
    connection - the JDBC connection to use to populate the db; already configured and ready to use; never null
    Throws:
    SQLException - if an unrecoverable data access exception occurs during database population
    ScriptException - in all other error cases
