I am new in Spring. I am trying to work with H2 Database and JDBC (not JPA/Hibernate).

So with Spring Initializr, when i add theses dependencies :

  • spring-boot-starter-web
  • spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
  • h2

and putting this property to true : spring.h2.console.enabled=true

The database mem:testdb is created and i can connect to it at : localhost:8080/h2-console

But when i change the jpa dependency to :

  • spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc

The database is not created and I have this error message :

Database "mem:testdb" not found, either pre-create it or allow remote database creation (not recommended in secure environments) [90149-200] 90149/90149 (Help)

So I would like to know why it doesn't work with JDBC, and if you know a solution to make it work.

I found two articles on the web, and it seems they can have the database created with JDBC :

UPDATE :

I tried to do the same thing at home in my personal computer and it works...

I don't know why it doesn't work in job computer although it works with JPA.

In the logs, it is missing these lines :

com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource : HikariPool-1 - Starting...

com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource : HikariPool-1 - Start completed.

o.s.b.a.h2.H2ConsoleAutoConfiguration : H2 console available at '/h2-console'. Database available at 'jdbc:h2:mem:testdb'

UPDATE2 :

I found the solution :

As I said, I am using Spring Initializr to bootstrap the project. In the job pc, I was not able to use the last version of Spring boot (2.2.4), so i choosed 2.1.12

Version Spring Boot

With this version, it works with JPA but not with JDBC...

From the documentation

You need a dependency on spring-jdbc for an embedded database to be auto-configured.

spring-boot-starter-data-jpa and spring-boot-starter-data-jdbc gets spring-jdbc transitively through its dependency on spring-boot-starter-jdbc

This means for both these dependencies h2 will be auto-configured.

Update:

For both configurations I am able to access the db with http://localhost:8080/h2-console/

and you will be getting a similar log when spring boot application starts up

Both links provided by you allow me to create spring boot application with the following dependencies: Web, JDBC, H2, DevTools. If change 'spring-boot-starter-jdbc' dependency to 'spring-boot-starter-data-jpa' everything works the same way, e.g. H2 database is created and accessible. Make sure you specified the same configuration in both cases in the application.properties file, 'spring.datasource.url' hasn't been changed.

  • I am using the same property : ```spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb``` in both cases (which is the default value), but still not working – gstra Feb 05 '20 at 16:08
