Dropwizard Migration for ORACLE 11g

Question

I am working on DROPWIZARD MIGRATION application [Dropwizard 0.7.0]. To generate db structure using migration.xml, I am running db migrate command for Postgres and ORACLE database. For Postgres I am successfully able to generate db structure but when try for ORACLE with following details getting exception

database:
  # the name of your JDBC driver
  # driverClass: org.postgresql.Driver
  driverClass: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

  # the username
  user: system
  # user: postgres

  # the password
  password: Passw0rd

  # the JDBC URL
  # url: "jdbc:postgresql://192.168.1.130:5432/mydb"
  url: "jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.1.130:1521/mydb"

  # Hibernate dialect
  # dialect: "org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect"
  dialect: "org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"

  # hibernate.connection.provider_class
  connectionProviderClass: org.hibernate.service.jdbc.connections.internal.C3P0ConnectionProvider

for these oracle setting I am getting following exception

    ERROR [2016-03-07 07:59:24,001] org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.ConnectionPool: Unable to create initial connections of pool.

Answer 1

The reason is the default validationQuery used by DropWizard defined as

SELECT 1;

which is not supported by DB2. A possible solution is to set the validationQuery paramter in your DropWizard configuration. A recommended config value for DB2 is:

validationQuery: select 1 from sysibm.sysdummy1

You can find a detailed answer with different definitions for other DB engines here .
