Spring Boot 2.0, H2, Unable to start app on existing H2 DB file

I am in the process of migrating my application from Spring Boot 1.4.x to 2.0.0.

In our development environment we run an H2 on file db, as shown in the debug log below. I can run the app with ddl-auto: create with an in MEM db, but when trying to work against my existing H2 file, I get the following error:

Here is how my config looks that fails:

datasource:
    url: jdbc:h2:file:~/API;FILE_LOCK=FS;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;MODE=PostgreSQL
    driver-class-name: org.h2.Driver
    username: sa
    password:
    continue-on-error: true
jpa:
    database-platform: H2
    hibernate:
      ddl-auto: update
h2:
    console:
      enabled: true

Additional Info:

I can delete my h2 DB files, run the app, which generates new DB files. Everything is good and I can re-run the app without problem. I delete these new files, move the old files back. Same problem. Is there a place in these files where metadata about actions/updates that have been performed? Maybe I could tweak it?

Solution

From Spring Boot 1.4.7 to 2.0.0, H2 upgrades from 1.4.196 to 1.4.197.

It's difficult to determine which one, without having your h2 files, but one of the item in the long changelog list from 1.4.196 to 1.4.197 is the cause of your problem.

If you want to keep your data, one solution would be to export them as SQL statements (see How in H2DB get sql dump like in MySql?) and reimport them with H2 1.4.197.
