spring - Sequence "HIBERNATE_SEQUENCE" not found; SQL statement

Question

In my spring mvc app, i have the following object. I am trying to make a visual of data using devtool in my app.

@Entity
@Data
public class ConsultationRequest {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    private String name;

    private String email;

    private String purpose;

    private String programme;

    private int year;

    private String language;

    private String comments;
    @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
    private ConsultationStatus status;
}

Then i used the jpa to make the entity:

@Repository
public interface ConsultationRequestRepository extends JpaRepository<ConsultationRequest, Long> {

}

The problem is when i load my application, i face with 2 errors:

 Unsuccessful: drop sequence hibernate_sequence
[36morg.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport  Sequence "HIBERNATE_SEQUENCE" not found; SQL statement:

Then when i open the

http://localhost:8080/h2-console/

I cannot see the table. It seems that the in the boot process, table is not made.

Answer 1

Update your code as below:

 @Id
 @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
 private Long id;

As you have not specified a sequence table name, hibernate will look for a sequence table named as hibernate_sequence and use it as default.

For Oracle/Postgres, increment fields used are sequence tables.
In MySql, there are increment fields that automatically increment.
