R2dbc database not auto initialising in spring project

Question

I am creating a simple spring boot project that connects to the r2dbc postgres

My application.yml looks like this :

  r2dbc:
    url: r2dbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
    username: postgres
    password: admin
    sql:
      init:
        mode: always
  logging:
    level:
      org.springframework: DEBUG
      io.r2dbc: DEBUG
  data:
    initialization-mode: always


server:
  port: 8088

My UserData model is :

@Builder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Table(name = "USER_DATA", schema = "management")
public class UserData {
    @Id
    String userId;
    String firstName;
    String lastName;
    String emailId;
    String password;
}

I have created this schema.sql file in my src/main/resources folder as per the documentation of SpringBoot specified

CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS management;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS user_data (
    user_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    first_name VARCHAR(100),
    last_name VARCHAR(100),
    email_id VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE,
    password VARCHAR(255)
);

</project>

As soon as i start my application the schema doesn't create nor does the table. I have tried all sorts of configuration for this but cant seem to get it working

Answer 1

The SQL initialization property is spring.sql.init.mode, not r2dbc.sql.init.mode. This property works for Jdbc/R2dbc,etc.

spring.sql.init.mode=always 

Check my working example.
