org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "app_user" does not exist

Question

I have an application that I'm using spring boot and postgres. I'm getting this error when I try to create a user.

When I run this query on my database, I get the same error:

select * from APP_USER

ERROR:  relation "app_user" does not exist
LINE 1: select * from APP_USER
                      ^
********** Error **********

ERROR: relation "app_user" does not exist
SQL state: 42P01

But if I change that to:

select * from "APP_USER"

It works.

How can I configure that on my spring boot app?

application.properties:

spring.datasource.username=postgres

spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.generate-ddl=false

#spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

My entity:

@Entity
@Table(name = "APP_USER")
public class User implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -1152779434213289790L;

    @Id
    @Column(name="ID", nullable = false, updatable = false)
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO) 
    private long id;

    @Column(name="NAME", nullable = false)
    private String name;

    @Column(name="USER_NAME", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String username;

    @Column(name="PASSWORD", nullable = false)
    private String password;

    @Column(name="EMAIL", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String email;

    @Column(name="ROLE", nullable = false)
    private RoleEnum role;

I'm calling this action from a form:

<form role="form" action="#" th:action="@{/user/create}" th:object="${userDTO}" method="post">

and this is my controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/user/create", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String handleUserCreateForm(@Valid @ModelAttribute("form") UserDTO form, BindingResult bindingResult) {
        if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
            return "user_create";
        }
        try {
            userService.create(form);
        } catch (DataIntegrityViolationException e) {
            bindingResult.reject("email.exists", "Email already exists");
            return "user_create";
        }
        return "redirect:/users";
    }

The validator that cath the error:

private void validateEmail(Errors errors, UserDTO form) {
        if (userService.getUserByEmail(form.getEmail()).isPresent()) {
            errors.reject("email.exists", "User with this email already exists");
        }
    }

UserServiceImpl (@Service):

@Override
    public Optional<User> getUserByEmail(String email) {
        return userRepository.findOneByEmail(email);
    }

And the repository is a CrudRepository interface, and have no implementation:

@Repository
public interface UserRepository extends CrudRepository<User, Serializable> {

    Optional<User> findOneByEmail(String email);
}

And debuging the validator I could get this stack:

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

PostgreSQL is following the SQL standard and in that case that means that identifiers (table names, column names, etc) are forced to lowercase, except when they are quoted. So when you create a table like this:

CREATE TABLE APP_USER ...

you actually get a table app_user . You apparently did:

CREATE TABLE "APP_USER" ...

and then you get a table "APP_USER" .

In Spring, you specify a regular string for the table name, in capital letters, but that gets spliced into a query to the PostgreSQL server without quotes. You can check this by reading the PostgreSQL log files: it should show the query that Spring generated followed by the error at the top of your message.

Since you have very little control over how Spring constructs queries from entities, you are better off using SQL-standard lower-case identifiers.

Answer 2

This could also happen if your mapping file is not defined properly in jpa configuration file. In my case, there was a new line character before (end tag where mapping file is defined) in jpa configuration.

Answer 3

It might be also caused missing default schema declaration in hibernate config.

    Properties jpaProperties = new Properties();

    ..

    jpaProperties.put("hibernate.default_schema", "my_default_schema");
    entityManagerFactoryBean.setJpaProperties(jpaProperties);

Answer 4

Give schema name also along with table name . It solved the issue for me.

@Entity
@Table(name = "APP_USER",schema="xxxxx")

public class User implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -1152779434213289790L;

    @Id
    @Column(name="ID", nullable = false, updatable = false)
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO) 
    private long id;

    @Column(name="NAME", nullable = false)
    private String name;

    @Column(name="USER_NAME", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String username;

    @Column(name="PASSWORD", nullable = false)
    private String password;

    @Column(name="EMAIL", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String email;

    @Column(name="ROLE", nullable = false)
    private RoleEnum role;

Answer 5

You should check permissions from your app database login to your scheme.

There were not permissions to my scheme and I had the same problem.

Answer 6

对我来说，将spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto更改为以下内容以在每次测试运行时创建和删除方案解决了这个问题。

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop

Answer 7

当你想写一个表或字段的名称时必须设置“”

Answer 8

在您的应用程序配置中，确保您的 datasource.url 链接到正确的数据库名称。
