Change database schema used by Spring Boot

Question

How do I specify database schema used by Spring Boot? I am using default hibernate (=default) and postgres (but i hoping for a generic solution). I know how to specify JDBC

Answer 1

spring:
  jpa:
    properties:
      hibernate:
        default_schema: your_schema_name

Answer 2

It depends on the DataSource implementation which property has to be used to set the default schema (reference). With HikariDataSource for example spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.default_schema is ignored and you have to set

spring.datasource.hikari.schema=schema

See the complete list of HikariCP configuration parameters here.

Answer 3

Use spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.default_schema=schema.

From the Spring Boot reference guide:

all properties in spring.jpa.properties.* are passed through as normal JPA properties (with the prefix stripped) when the local EntityManagerFactory is created

See http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-configure-jpa-properties

For a full list of available properties see http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-configure-jpa-properties
