Spring Boot org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException

I am getting .ConstraintViolationException when I try to persist data using the POST REST API.

Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: null value in column "id" violates not-null constraint Detail: Failing row contains (null, John Doe, How are you?, I am fine).

I am using @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) to auto generate "id" from Hibernate and I am not sure If I am missing any configuration in application.properties. I am using Postgres db.

I tried using GenerationType.AUTO and I was getting hibernate_sequence missing error from postgres.

Thanks!

POST REST API input using Postman

            {   
                "personName": "John Doe",
                "question": "How are you?",
                "response": "I am fine"
            }

questionnaries.sql

            CREATE TABLE questionnaries( 
            id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
            personName VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
            question VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
            response VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
            );

Change your script to:

CREATE TABLE questionnaries( 
 id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY,
 personName VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
 question VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
 response VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);

That means your database supports sequences for primary key values. So in your case, you will have to create a Database sequence and then use @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO) or @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="seq") @SequenceGenerator(name="seq", sequenceName = "db_seq_name") to generate values for primary key fields.

Also make sure that you add SERIAL to your SQL, so that it looks like: id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY

See the PostgreSQL documentation for the serial data types.
