Not working :: spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update - spring-boot

Question

I am trying to create multitenant application with single db and seperate schemas for tenants. And I don't want to loose my data after every startup. This is my application.properties file
logging.level.root=info
spring.h2.console.enabled=true
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:mem:multi-tenant
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.liquibase.change-log=classpath:db/changelog/changelog-master.xml
And here is my logs

Why is ddl-auto=update not working?

Answer 1

You use an in memory database configuration.
This means that when the application starts up an embedded database will be created not in permanent memory but in RAM.
This also means that when the application is shut down the memory it took in RAM is cleaned, therefore any information relative with this database is also lost.
H2 database offers another configuration in the url which will make sure that the data that database holds, is not stored in RAM but in permanent storage HDD. This way the application could be shut down and the data which the database contained, will not be lost.
The database however will stop functioning when the application is shut down, as the process that runs the database belongs to the main process of starting your application. But when the application starts up again and database process is started also, the database will see all the data that it contained before the application was shutdown.
The config is the following:
spring.datasource.url= jdbc:h2:/data/multi-tenant;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE
Multiple processes can access the same database without having to
start the server manually. To do that, append ;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE to the
database URL. You can use the same database URL independent of whether
the database is already open or not. This feature doesn't work with
in-memory databases.
Use the same URL for all connections to this database. Internally,
when using this mode, the first connection to the database is made in
embedded mode, and additionally a server is started internally (as a
daemon thread). If the database is already open in another process,
the server mode is used automatically. The IP address and port of the
server are stored in the file .lock.db, that's why in-memory databases
can't be supported.
The application that opens the first connection to the database uses
the embedded mode, which is faster than the server mode. Therefore the
main application should open the database first if possible. The first
connection automatically starts a server on a random port. This server
allows remote connections, however only to this database (to ensure
that, the client reads .lock.db file and sends the random key that is
stored there to the server). When the first connection is closed, the
server stops. If other (remote) connections are still open, one of
them will then start a server (auto-reconnect is enabled
automatically).
All processes need to have access to the database files. If the first
connection is closed (the connection that started the server), open
transactions of other connections will be rolled back (this may not be
a problem if you don't disable autocommit). Explicit client/server
connections (using jdbc:h2:tcp:// or ssl://) are not supported. This
mode is not supported for in-memory databases.
