H2 in-memory database. Table not found

Navigating the JDBC URL

Remember that every detail in your JDBC URL can influence your connection:

• Spark the right DriverManager.getConnection(url) magic to establish the connection.
• Make sure the JDBC URL in your application properties matches with the URL used in your operations:

// Don't forget to double-check, or the evil TwinDB might take over!
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1


• Manage version discrepancies carefully. Ensure the H2 version compatibility with your setup.

Coping with connectivity problems

Connectivity issues can be sneaky. Here's how you deal with them:

• Check your application's properties.
• Match the JDBC URL with the properties of your code.
• Leverage spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create for automatic schema creation in a Spring context.

// 'We've got Spring in our step!'
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create


Grappling with SQL exceptions

SQL exceptions are like Mandarin to some of us. Here's how to understand these:

• Wrap your SQL operations in try-catch blocks. This can help to detect and respond to the errors gracefully.
• Provide descriptive error messages. Just the way we like headlines on Reddit.
• Prevent resource leaks by always closing your connections and statements.

// Think of it like a fridge. Close the door to keep the cool in!
Connection.close(); Statement.close();

Verifying table existence

Tables can sometimes play hide-and-seek. Here's how you find them:

• Use CREATE TABLE SQL statements to bring the tables to life.
• Embrace the power of ResultSet for flexible database interactivity.
• Directly verify the table inside the memory database with your own eyes using the H2 console.

// Let's play some SQL hide-and-seek. Ready?
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM CATS");


• Leverage spring.jpa.defer-datasource-initialization=true for timing issues in Spring Boot 2.4+:

// 'The early bird CATCHES the null pointer exception!'
spring.jpa.defer-datasource-initialization=true

