For a Spring Boot app (2.4.1) working with Spring Data JPA, with @Entity classes based with the javax.persistence annotations. For a application.properties exists these two properties:
- spring.jpa.generate-ddl
- spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
Thanks to STS, the following descriptions are available:
spring.jpa.generate-ddl
spring.jpa.generate-ddl
java.lang.Boolean
Default: false
Whether to initialize the schema on startup.
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto
java.lang.String
DDL mode. This is actually a shortcut for the "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" property.
Defaults to "create-drop" when using an embedded database and no schema manager was detected.
Otherwise, defaults to "none"
- When is used the
spring.jpa.generate-ddl? - When is mandatory use the
spring.jpa.generate-ddlapproach? What scenario?
I did realise that it is ignored and really is mandatory use spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto, it for the following scenario: The schema is created through the schema.sql file for H2 and spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto is none, in this case spring.jpa.generate-ddl is totally ignored
Therefore:
What is the relation (if exists) and differences between spring.jpa.generate-ddl and spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto?
I found these posts, and in someway is not clear when is mandatory use spring.jpa.generate-ddl
