Here is my code:

@Data
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
public class Customer {
  @Id
  String id;
  String name;
}


//schema.sql
CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255));

@SpringBootApplication
public class ReactivedemoApplication {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(ReactivedemoApplication.class, args);
  }

  @Bean
  ConnectionFactoryInitializer initializer(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {

        ConnectionFactoryInitializer initializer = new ConnectionFactoryInitializer();
        initializer.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
        initializer.setDatabasePopulator(new ResourceDatabasePopulator(new 
        ClassPathResource("schema.sql")));
        return initializer;
   }
}

When i start the app, i am getting the below error. How to force H2 to create the table using schema.sql ?

Caused by: io.r2dbc.spi.R2dbcBadGrammarException: Table "CUSTOMER" already exists; SQL statement: CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255)) [42101-200] at io.r2dbc.h2.H2DatabaseExceptionFactory.convert(H2DatabaseExceptionFactory.java:81) ~[r2dbc-h2-0.8.4.RELEASE.jar:0.8.4.RELEASE] at io.r2dbc.h2.H2Statement.lambda$execute$2(H2Statement.java:155) ~[r2dbc-h2-0.8.4.RELEASE.jar:0.8.4.RELEASE] at reactor.core.publisher.FluxMapFuseable$MapFuseableSubscriber.onNext(FluxMapFuseable.java:113) ~[reactor-core-3.4.9.jar:3.4.9] ... 44 common frames omitted Caused by: org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLSyntaxErrorException: Table "CUSTOMER" already exists; SQL statement: CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255)) [42101-200]

Answer 1

As spring already created the table from the root location schema.sql, ConnectionFactoryInitializer bean is not needed. Removing the ConnectionFactoryInitializer bean declaration fixed the issue.
