How to use H2 database's integrated managment frontend?
For operations such as create table, alter table, add column, and so on.
I like SQuirreL SQL Client, and NetBeans is very useful; but more often, I just fire up the built-in org.h2.tools.Server and browse port 8082:
$ java -cp /opt/h2/bin/h2.jar org.h2.tools.Server -help Starts the H2 Console (web-) server, TCP, and PG server. Usage: java org.h2.tools.Server When running without options, -tcp, -web, -browser and -pg are started. Options are case sensitive. Supported options are: [-help] or [-?] Print the list of options [-web] Start the web server with the H2 Console [-webAllowOthers] Allow other computers to connect - see below [-webPort ] The port (default: 8082) [-webSSL] Use encrypted (HTTPS) connections [-browser] Start a browser and open a page to connect to the web server [-tcp] Start the TCP server [-tcpAllowOthers] Allow other computers to connect - see below [-tcpPort ] The port (default: 9092) [-tcpSSL] Use encrypted (SSL) connections [-tcpPassword ] The password for shutting down a TCP server [-tcpShutdown ""] Stop the TCP server; example: tcp://localhost:9094 [-tcpShutdownForce] Do not wait until all connections are closed [-pg] Start the PG server [-pgAllowOthers] Allow other computers to connect - see below [-pgPort ] The port (default: 5435) [-baseDir ] The base directory for H2 databases; for all servers [-ifExists] Only existing databases may be opened; for all servers [-trace] Print additional trace information; for all servers
