H2 DB in Spring Boot Hibernate does not generate Db Schema

Question

I want my Spring Application to autogenerate the DB schema and tables... I've read some Q&A to this topic and I've set my DB URL to:

H2DataSource.setUrl("jdbc:h2:mem:tmp.db;INIT=CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS GPSTRACKER");

and I've annotated my Entities like:

@Entity
@Table(name="tblGps", schema= "GPSTRACKER")

but the db schema is still not created.

Here is my log output. Hibernate is trying to create the tables, but can't find the schema!

What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

EntityManagerFactory

@Bean
    public EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() {

        HibernateJpaVendorAdapter vendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
        vendorAdapter.setGenerateDdl(true);
        vendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);
        vendorAdapter.setDatabasePlatform(MyAppSettings.getDbPlattform());

        HibernateJpaDialect jpd = new HibernateJpaDialect();
        LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean factory = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();

        factory.setJpaDialect(jpd);
        factory.setJpaVendorAdapter(vendorAdapter);
        factory.setPackagesToScan(MyAppSettings.packagesToScan);
        factory.setDataSource(MyDataSource());

        return factory.getObject();
    }

DataSource

DriverManagerDataSource H2DataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
                H2DataSource.setDriverClassName("org.h2.Driver");
                H2DataSource.setUrl("jdbc:h2:mem:tmp.db;INIT=CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS GPSTRACKER");

                H2DataSource.setUsername("sa");
                H2DataSource.setPassword("");

@pvgoddijn i can't remember exactly, and i can't find the code right now. But I guess it was that I needed to return LocalEntityManagerFactory instead of EntityManagerFactory... or sth like that. good luck! maybe i can find the code the next days...

Answer 1

When creating your datasource, you need to set the hbm2ddl.auto property in order for the database to be created/updated on startup.

    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "update");
    H2DataSource.setConnectionProperties(properties);

You could also set the property in your hibernate.cfg.xml file

Other possible values are: validate | update | create | create-drop

Additional information about this and other properties can be found at: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/core/3.3/reference/en/html/session-configuration.html#configuration-optional
