I want to cleanup the database after every test case without rolling back the transaction. I have tried DBUnit's DatabaseOperation.DELETE_ALL, but it does not work if a deletion violates a foreign key constraint. I know that I can disable foreign key checks, but that would also disable the checks for the tests (which I want to prevent).

I'm using JUnit 4, JPA 2.0 (Eclipselink), and Derby's in-memory database. Any ideas?

Thanks, Theo
