my table name is "images" but spring boot complains that "users_images" doesn't exist - spring-boot

Question

In Spring boot, I made "User" entity which has a field "images" referencing "Images" entity. But it complains there is no "users_images" table that is specified nowhere, and it throws exceptions. What am I doing wrong?
I tried this but didn't work:
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy=org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl
User Entity:
#Entity
#Table(name = "users")
public class User{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long id;
private String name;
//All images list
#OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private List<Image> images;
//getter and setter
}
Image Entity:
#Entity
#Table(name = "images")
public class Image{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long id;
#ManyToOne
private User user;
//getter and setter
}
Error message:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'chatboard.users_images' doesn't exist

Answer 1

You need to update the #OneToMany relationship like below to prevent 3rd table creation by specifying the mappedBy attribute because you don't need a third table as each row of image will contain one user.
#OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL,mappedBy="user")
private List<Image> images;

Answer 2

You need to update these stuffs:
#OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "user" )
And if you want to create or update automatically your tables by JPA hibernate you need to add the below property:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
You can get more information on this relationship in this link: https://www.baeldung.com/hibernate-one-to-many
