Could not execute statement; SQL [n/a]; constraint [null];

Question

I am getting this error while delete a row from a particular schema:

Hibernate: select journal0_.id as id1_2_0_, journal0_.content as content2_2_0_, journal0_.filename as filename3_2_0_, journal0_.subject as subject4_2_0_, journal0_.tags as tags5_2_0_, journal0_.user_id as user_id6_2_0_, journal0_.version as version7_2_0_ from journal journal0_ where journal0_.id=?
Hibernate: select nextval ('hibernate_sequence')

org.springframework.dao.DataIntegrityViolationException: could not execute statement; SQL [n/a]; constraint [null]; nested exception is org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException: could not execute statement

Even though the delete method with proper arguments is called still it's running the insert query which is causing data violation issue.

Here is the model:

@Entity
@Table(uniqueConstraints={@UniqueConstraint(columnNames={"userId", "journalId"})})
public class Subscription {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Integer id;

    @Version
    private Integer version;

    private Integer userId;
    private Integer journalId;

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Integer getId() {
        return this.id;
    }

    public void setVersion(Integer version) {
        this.version = version;
    }

    public Integer getVersion() {
        return this.version;
    }

    public void setUserId(Integer userId) {
        this.userId = userId;
    }

    public Integer getUserId() {
        return this.userId;
    }

    public void setJournalId(Integer journalId) {
        this.journalId = journalId;
    }

    public Integer getJournalId() {
        return this.journalId;
    }
}

This is where the delete method is called:

@Override
public void unsubscribeJournalForSubscriber(Journal journal, Account subscriber) {

    Subscription subscription = new Subscription();
    subscription.setJournalId(journal.getId());
    subscription.setUserId(subscriber.getId());


    this.subscriptionRepository.delete(subscription);
}

If you want to delete records without using primary key then create a query for that. create a method in the "SubscriptionRepository" called

@Modifying @Query("delete from Subscription s where s.role. userId = ?1 and s. journalId = ?2") deleteByUserIdJournalId(Integer userId,Integer journalId) then use that method to delete your records. follow this https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/jpa/docs/current/reference/html/
