How to resolve SQLServerException: Invalid object name?

Question

I am creating a spring boot application using MS SQL server. I have a requirement where I need to initialize USERS table in user_database database using data.sql file placed in /src/main/resources/ folder and rest of the tables should be created automatically in springboot_db database with the help of @Table annotation. Below is the code snippet.

applicaiton.properties file

spring.datasource.platform=mssql
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=springboot_db
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=einfochips@123
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
spring.datasource.initialize=true

data.sql

USE master
IF EXISTS(select name from sys.databases where name='user_database')
DROP DATABASE user_database;
CREATE DATABASE user_database;
USE user_database;
CREATE TABLE tbl_users (
  id INTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
  name VARCHAR(25),
  email  VARCHAR(50),
  username VARCHAR(25),
  password VARCHAR(225),
  gender VARCHAR(1),
  contact_number VARCHAR(12),
  address VARCHAR(150),
  country VARCHAR(20),
  newsletter BIT,
  framework VARCHAR(500),
  skill VARCHAR(500),
  role_id INTEGER,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
INSERT INTO tbl_users 
(name, email, username, password, gender, contact_number, address, country, newsletter, framework, skill, role_id) 
VALUES 
('Admin User1', '[email protected]', 'admin', '$2a$10$WOf9uuaNfUgqpfXrfK1QiO.scUjxJMA.wENEu4c8GJMbPhFwbxMwu', 'f', 919979294062, 'Ahmedabad', 'India', 0, 'Spring MVC', 'Spring', 1);

AppConfiguration.java (One of the entity file)

@Entity
@Table(name = "tbl_configuration_details")
public class AppConfiguration implements Serializable {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 6657691404940352980L;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "config_id")
    private Integer id;

    @Column(name = "schedule_time")
    private Integer scheduleTimePeriod;
// other variables and respective getter setters
}

If I am running my application keeping both the approaches separately than its working fine. When I merge both into a single application, it is showing following error.

Answer 1

com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Invalid object name 'tbl_configuration_details'.

You have defined table name as

CREATE TABLE tbl_users

But, in your code

@Table(name = "tbl_configuration_details")

Since, there isn't any object exists with the same name, you will get Invalid object name exception.

Answer 2

I had same problem and find out that needed put in properties the database name.

Example for Spring Boot:

spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1234;databaseName=DATABASENAMEHERE 
    username: USER
    password: ******
    driver-class-name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
