使用 Spring 引导 Maven 的 PostgreSQL 的神秘数据库名称

Question

On my PC I get the following error starting my Spring-Boot Server:

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: Datenbank ╗Test½ existiert nicht (pgjdbc: autodetected server-encoding to be ISO-8859-1, if the message is not readable, please check database logs and/or host, port, dbname, user, password, pg_hba.conf)

(The first part is german and translates to "The Database does not exist")

In pgAdmin I created the Database "Test" and in my Application Properties I call the Database with spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/Test

I think it may be an issue with encoding as it works on my laptop but I can not figure out a solution.

Answer 1

For whatever reason Peter translates double quotes in error messages as » and « , so the English "Test" will become »Test« .

Now the client_encoding in your database session does not match your terminal's encoding, so the quotes look wrong.

I assume that you are on Windows, where the "shell" uses a different encoding than the rest of the system. Things will probably improve if you run the following in your cmd before starting your program:

chcp 1252

At any rate, you need not worry about this.
