I am very new to Spring Batch. Tried the getting started example from spring doc. using spring-boot-starter-parent(1.5.2.RELEASE). Trying to understand where can I see the data that is inserted using this "Person" table in hsql. and also where can I see the Meta data tables for this example after execution. Please help me to understand this.
By default, Spring Boot uses an embedded database (H2, HSQL, Derby) accordingly to your dependencies.
H2 provides a great web console to view the state of your database. You'll find more informations here : https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-sql.html#boot-features-sql-h2-console
If you'd like to stay with HSQL, please have a look at this answer : https://stackoverflow.com/a/8880390/8232755
