Spring Boot app Heroku PostgreSQL error : GenerationTarget encountered exception accepting command : Error executing DDL ... via JDBC Statement


I created a small social media app with Spring Boot and in development I used H2 local database and it worked just fine. Now I try to connect it to a Heroku PostgreSQL database and I get the error in the title. Any ideas why? I suspected a wrong dialect, but everywhere I checked I should use org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect as I do right now. Otherwise probably there're some mishaps with the Entities or the Mapping? Even if yes, I just can't figure what and how to amend them. I'm quite new to database stuff, so please don't judge me if it's some stupid mistake.

Solution

  • I found an answer here on Stackoverflow!

    The problem was that some names, like my table's name: 'user' is reserved for PostgreSQL. So, changing the name of it solved my issue.
