Spring Mvc Hibernate Encoding/Multi-line import sql

Question

I am working on Spring MVC,

On project startup i have set database to import default sql with hibernate configuration hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files. Data inside import.sql is encoded with UTF-8.

Console Output

 ERROR: org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport - HHH000388:
 Unsuccessful: INSERT INTO menu (id, DATE_CREATED, DATE_DELETED,
 DATE_UPDATED, TITLE_ENG, TITLE_GEO, TITLE_RUS, ENABLED, PARENT_ID,
 URL, SITE_ID, USER_ID) VALUES

Answer 1

1. Make sure you are setting the JDBC driver to use UTF-8:

   jdbc:mysql://dbname?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8

2. In persistence.xml, set the hibernate connection charset:

   <property name="hibernate.connection.charSet" value="UTF-8"/>

If your resources/import.sql file is multi-line, add:

<property 
  name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor"
  value="org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.MultipleLinesSqlCommandExtractor" 
/>

or for Spring Boot, in application.properties:

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.connection.charSet=UTF-8
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.hbm2ddl.import_files_sql_extractor=org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.MultipleLinesSqlCommandExtractor
