jdbc:h2:mem:testdb

and it's work

Answer 2

Adding to @Prateik Upadhyay's answer, if you want to rename your db connection name to something else the only thing that worked for me is below. I am using spring boot 2.2.4 version. with h2 1.4.200 version.

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:~/MyComponentDB;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;MODE=Oracle
spring.datasource.driverClassName=org.h2.Driver
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect
spring.h2.console.enabled=true

Answer 4

I faced this issue recently, there were two issues.

1. By default, it was not populated with in-memory database rather jdbc:h2:~/test.
2. The db name I configured in the datasource was not test.

when I changed the JDBC url to jdbc:h2:mem:{db-name-in-config}, it worked like a charm.

Answer 5

first url to jdbc:h2:mem:testdb second changed the version of Spring Boot to 2.1.3 and it works
