Error writing in a minimalistic database with spring data

Question

I am writing a simple app with spring using mysql. I setup a very simple database with just two columns but when trying to write on it I am getting the following:

There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
The database returned no natively generated identity value; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: The database returned no natively generated identity value

I have reviewed the db and code and looks similar to other examples that can be seen in the web. Any idea what is happening here?

update:

--

create table articles (
   article_id integer not null auto_increment,
    title varchar(255),
    primary key (article_id)
) type=MyISAM

Error:

Solved editing the db with:

ALTER TABLE articles ADD PRIMARY KEY (article_id);

Ref:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: The database returned no natively generated identity value

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_primarykey.asp

-

Then appears another problem which relates to non default value for the id and solved by:

ALTER TABLE articles MODIFY article_id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Ref: Field 'id' doesn't have a default value?

You solved editing your DB, it's not a good way through Spring/Hibernate.

Try just adding these annotation on your ID field:

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "article_id", updatable = false, nullable = false)
private Long articleId;

Put this setup in application.properties:

spring.datasource.initialization-mode=always
spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

Then re.run application

Is just to check if my suggestion is working. You can use 'update' instead to not loose your data, but often if you remove/edit some columns from your entities, the 'update' instruction doesn't work as expected – Frighi Jul 31 '18 at 02:01
thanks, I ll try tomorrow because playing with the mysql workbench the table is not appearing again and this is annoying. The data is not important but I want to setup as if it was for production purposes. I go to sleep. Thanks again. – Jul 31 '18 at 02:14
Still working. I get hooked...but crashes: GenerationTarget encountered exception accepting command : Error executing DDL via JDBC Statement – Jul 31 '18 at 02:34

I've missing another setup, i'm editing answer. If it doesn't work anyway, please post all stacktrace – Frighi Jul 31 '18 at 02:52

You need to add correct dialect according to your DBMS, i've added the line for MySQL, if you use another check here: http://www.baeldung.com/hibernate3-spring#mysql – Frighi Jul 31 '18 at 03:37
This is MySql indeed: I will work on it. Thanks a lot Frighi – Aug 02 '18 at 09:29
Sorry I was on holidays , I will try to fix briefly. Thanks – Aug 14 '18 at 19:47
