H2 JdbcSQLException: "Table not found" with camelcase table & entity name - spring

Question

Using Spring Boot, with Spring Data JPA and H2 in-memory database (in PostgreSQL mode if it makes a difference).
I have a table & entity class named ContentBlock, yet H2 is complaining about missing CONTENT_BLOCK table, when I do a findAll() or findOne():
org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Table "CONTENT_BLOCK" not found
I'm not sure if uppercase/camelcase makes a difference, but where does the underscore in CONTENT_BLOCK come from?
In my schema definition:
CREATE TABLE ContentBlock (
id BIGSERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
content TEXT
-- etc
);
And in the entity class:
#Entity
#Table(name = "ContentBlock")
public class ContentBlock {
// ...
}
(Of course I first tried without #Table annotation, as the class name exactly matches the table name.)
With my other tables/entities, with names like Asset, there are no problems, and I don't need to explicitly specify the table name on Java side:
#Entity
public class Asset {
// ...
}
In my setup, the H2 datasource is explicitly defined like this:
#Bean
public DataSource devDataSource() {
return new EmbeddedDatabaseBuilder()
.generateUniqueName(true)
.setType(EmbeddedDatabaseType.H2)
.setScriptEncoding("UTF-8")
.ignoreFailedDrops(true)
.addScripts("database/init.sql", "database/schema.sql", "database/test_data.sql")
.build();
}
(Contents of init.sql is SET MODE PostgreSQL;)
As workaround, I just renamed the ContentBlock table to Block in schema.sql, with #Table(name = "Block") in the Java class which I still call ContentBlock.
But this is weird, surely you can map a table with camelcase name to an entity somehow?

By default Spring Boot uses SpringNamingStrategy. It extends org.hibernate.cfg.ImprovedNamingStrategy from Hibernate 4. ImprovedNamingStrategy generates underscores in table names.
To map a table with camel case name to an entity you can use org.hibernate.cfg.EJB3NamingStrategy or implement your own.
An example of set a name strategy using properties
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming_strategy=org.hibernate.cfg.EJB3NamingStrategy
