Setting H2 database name in Spring Boot project

I have a Spring Boot project that uses H2. No matter what I set my database name to in my application.properties file, whey I bring up the H2 console, the name of the database is "test". I can log in and see my schema, but can't set the name of the database to anything but "test". No matter what name I use in the application.properties file, the name on the H2 console is "test".

My POM is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

</project>

My application.properties file is 

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:~/test
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.h2.Driver

spring.h2.console.path=/h2-console
spring.h2.console.enabled=true
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

server.port=8081

You need to set "generate-unique-name" to false and set name as below:

spring.datasource.generate-unique-name=false
spring.datasource.name=my-new-db-name

  • I've tried the following settings and it worked as expected: rcp_h2.mv.db file was created.
  • For H2 URL: As Anton suggested - just go ahead and replace the default URL with your i.e. "jdbc:h2:mem:rcp_h2", it will get remembered so next time you don't need to do it.

If still the problem persists, you should try change other settings for example: port # or "spring.h2.console.path=/h2-console" -> "spring.h2.console.path=/h2" to see if it takes effect after the app restart. If not then probably something is wrong with your project setup.

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:c:/temp/rcp_h2
spring.datasource.username=sa
spring.datasource.password=
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.h2.Driver

spring.h2.console.path=/h2-console
spring.h2.console.enabled=true
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

server.port=8081

The followingis the reference to database name - file:~/test. You need to change test to something else.
