Spring Data JPA application not working with Hibernate and H2

Hello! I wrote a simple Spring Data JPA application with Hibernate that does not work with H2, while it is working with MySQL.

I am getting an error when running the test with H2:
ERROR: Table “ITEM” not found; SQL statement:
insert into Item (id, name) values (null, ?) [42102-200]

I tried without the (strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) and I am getting another error:
ERROR: Sequence “HIBERNATE_SEQUENCE” not found; SQL statement:
call next value for hibernate_sequence [90036-200]

The Spring Data configuration:

@EnableJpaRepositories(“helloworld.repositories”)
public class SpringDataConfiguration {
@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
dataSource.setDriverClassName(“org.h2.Driver”);
dataSource.setUrl(“jdbc:h2:mem:helloworld”);
dataSource.setUsername(“sa”);
dataSource.setPassword("");
// dataSource.setDriverClassName(“com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver”);
// dataSource.setUrl(“jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/HELLOWORLD”);
// dataSource.setUsername(“root”);
// dataSource.setPassword("");
return dataSource;
}

@Bean
public JpaTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory emf) {
    return new JpaTransactionManager(emf);
}

@Bean
public JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter() {
    HibernateJpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
    jpaVendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.H2);

// jpaVendorAdapter.setDatabase(Database.MYSQL);
jpaVendorAdapter.setShowSql(true);
return jpaVendorAdapter;
}

@Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory() {
    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean =
            new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
    localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setDataSource(dataSource());
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.put("hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto", "create");

// properties.put(“hibernate.dialect”, “org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect”);
localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setJpaProperties(properties);
localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setJpaVendorAdapter(jpaVendorAdapter());
localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.setPackagesToScan(“helloworld”);
return localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean;
}
}

I checked to have the latest dependency versions in pom.xml, that the used dialect is H2 (I even forced it with properties.put(“hibernate.dialect”, “org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect”)) and it still does not work. However, it works with MySQL.
Any ideas, am I still missing anything?

Thank you!

Looks like the creation of the tables didn’t succeed. There should be more information in the log.

With (strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY):

I can provide the whole project, if necessary.

There must be a log entry before this that should contain the table DDL e.g. create table Item .... If not, then your hbm2ddl configuration is wrong or not picked up. If you see it in the log, you will most likely also see an error and details what it is that failed.

This is the full log. What can be wrong in the configuration, as it is similar to the MySQL one?

In that case, I think the problem is that the database is closed after the last connection from the DDL generation is closed. Try using the following JDBC URL instead: jdbc:h2:mem:helloworld;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1

Great, this solved the problem. Thank you so much!
