PSQLException: ERROR: syntax error at or near

Question

I have what I thought was a straight forward relation in JPA. Looks like this. CompanyGroup:

@Entity
@Table
public class CompanyGroup implements Serializable {

         


        

Answer 1

Solution 1: As Pascal mentioned, you have to escape the table name with backslash like:

@Entity
@Table(name="\"User\"")
public class User {
    ...
}

Solution 2: Rename your table's anme with another name (Users)

@Entity
@Table(name="Users")
public class User {
    ...
}

Solution 3: Add a suffix to the table's name:

@Entity
@Table(name="APP_User")
public class User {
    ...
}

Solution 4: Change the entity name, e.g. ApplicationUser

@Entity
public class ApplicationUser {
    ...
}

PostgreSQL as some reserved SQL Key Words. For example: ABORT, ALL, ARRAY, CACHE, CUBE, USER, ... Those tokens are in the SQL standard or specific to PostgreSQL
