Spring Boot + IntelliJ + Embedded Database = Headache

Question

Either I\'m missing some core concept buried deep within some documentation (Spring, Spring Boot, H2, HSQLDB, Derby, IntelliJ) or I\'ve been staring at this for too long.

Answer 1

H2 Automatic Mixed Mode should be fine for you. Use jdbc:h2:~/mydbInHomeDir;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE as your spring.datasource.url. In IntelliJ, create a remote H2 data source and use the exact same JDBC URL. You may have to explicitly press the Synchronize button in the IntelliJ Database window to get the database tables to show up.
