Spring Boot + Hibernate + Postgres - not creating tables

Question

I am trying to generate schema tables based on entities. The application starts correctly, the SQL is generated but there is no result - none of tables are created. What's wrong? I have used the same settings in plain Spring MVC + Hibernate JPA without Spring Boot and everything was working correctly.

Here is my pom.xml:

application.properties:

spring.datasource.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
spring.datasource.driverClassName = org.postgresql.Driver
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL82Dialect
spring.datasource.schema=schemaName
spring.datasource.username=userName
spring.datasource.password=userPassword

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true

BaseEntity.java:

package com.agileplayers.applicationname.core.domain;

import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.MappedSuperclass;
import java.util.Date;

@MappedSuperclass
public class BaseEntity {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private int id;
    private Date createdOn;
    public String description;

    public BaseEntity() {
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Date getCreatedOn() {
        return createdOn;
    }

    public void setCreatedOn(Date createdOn) {
        this.createdOn = createdOn;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }
}

example of Entity which extends BaseEntity - Entry.java:

package com.agileplayers.applicationname.core.domain;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import java.util.Date;

@Entity
public class Entry  extends BaseEntity{

    private String type;

    @ManyToOne
    private Account account;

    public Entry() {
    }

    public String getType() {
        return type;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
        this.type = type;
    }

    public Account getAccount() {
        return account;
    }

    public void setAccount(Account account) {
        this.account = account;
    }
}

I have fixed the issue. Instead of spring.datasource.schema=schemaName there should be spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.default_schema=schemaName.

The set of necessary properties required for generating tables in my case is the following:

spring.datasource.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.default_schema = schemaName
spring.datasource.username = userName
spring.datasource.password = userPassword
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = create-drop
spring.jpa.show-sql = true
