Best Format for Database Seed Replay

SQL is the best default when replay accuracy, transactions, and schema-aware setup matter more than raw interchange simplicity.

Recommendation

Recommendation

SQL

SQL preserves database-native operations like transactions, DDL, and ordered seed replay in a way flat exports cannot.

CSV

Use CSV for tabular interchange where downstream loading rules are already defined.

Decision factors

Decision Factors

Factores de decision

  • Need for transactional replay versus flat data import.
  • Requirement to preserve schema changes, ordering, and rollback behavior.
  • Portability across toolchains versus database-native execution fidelity.
  • How often support or QA needs to inspect and diff the fixture by hand.

Errores comunes a evitar

  • Using CSV as the only seed artifact when ordered transactional replay is required.
  • Treating a large SQL fixture like a dummy blob instead of validating it against a real parser and database.
  • Skipping rollback rehearsal before promoting large seed loads into CI or staging.
