Answer 1

If you are using spring boot in order to use h2 DB, make sure you have dependencies on your pom.xml file

     org.springframework.boot
     spring-boot-starter-data-jpa


     com.h2database
     h2
     runtime

Your application.yml makes it possible to access h2 DB by URI /h2-console preceded by server URL and to connect to DB named "testdb" with username "sa" and no password, after the application has been started on the server.
