H2 Database not found error: 90146. H2 database is not created on start

Question

Just created a simple spring-boot project from the spring initializer. I went to add a local h2 db for testing and am unable to login. Seems that it cannot create the test d

Answer 1

I had the same error and I found these to be helpful:

Adding a pre-2019 version to the pom.xml file as below:

        com.h2database
        h2
        1.4.193

This fixes the error but isn't the right way to do it. The newer version of H2 Database do not create a new database as it doesn't exist by default and are enabled to false for security purposes.

A better way would be adding making changes to url as:

jdbc:h2:mem:testdb;IFEXISTS=FALSE;

Hope it helps. I made changes in my application.properties file.
