Question
I'm using a H2 database with a file using Spring Boot.
In my application.properties, I have this entry:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:c:/Testprojekte/spring-boot-h2-db
But now I would like to be able to look at the database while running the application, which currently isn't possible because I need to have the database running in server mode in order to do so. In the documentation I found that I have to add AUTO_SERVER=TRUE to the URL but this doesn't solve the problem.
So, what do I have to change to be able to connect to that database from different processes at the same time ?
thanks for any help! Thorsten
Answer
You can enable h2 web console to access your h2 in memory or in file database using a web interface in your browser.
therefor add in application.properties the lines:
spring.h2.console.enabled=true
spring.h2.console.path=/h2-console
after that restart your spring boot application and check
http://localhost:8080/h2-console with your browser.
