PostgreSQL + Hibernate + Spring auto create database

Question

I\'m working with PostgreSQL and Spring 4 and want my app auto create database when it running.

My Entity Class is:

@Entity
@Table(name = \"user\", s         


        

Answer 1

Postgres unlike mysql does not support Create Database If not exist.

Thus changing hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create and changing URL jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/database?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true won't work for you.

However you can try simulating the behavior as in below questions:

Create Postgres database on the fly, if it doesn't exists using Hibernate

Simulate CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS for PostgreSQL?
