Default url and credentials for H2DB?

I have added H2DB in my springBoot application for unit testing purpose.

In application-test.properties I just added:

spring.datasource.name = h2db

spring.h2.console.enabled = true

Its working fine, saving the values.

But how it is working and how can I browse this DB?

Solution

  • Default properties for H2 in Spring Boot application are:

    spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect

    So it's not necessary to add them to your application.properties - Spring Boot create this DB itself.

    If you want to get access to your H2 DB right from your IDE you have to make this setup.
