How to fix “java.sql.SQLException: Column 'id' not found.” error in Spring Boot

Question

There are 2 entities: Deck and Card. Each Deck contains 8 out of 100 possible Cards. Since each Deck contains more than one Card and the Card can also be part of many different Decks, I joined them by creating a new table called deck_cards.

@Data
@Entity
@Table(name = "cards")
public class Card {
    @Id
    private Integer id;

    @NotBlank
    private String icon;

    @NotBlank
    private String name;

    @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY,
                cascade = {
                    CascadeType.PERSIST,
                    CascadeType.MERGE
                },
                mappedBy = "cards")
    private Set<Deck> decks;
// setters and getters
}

@Data
@Entity
@Table(name="decks")
public class Deck {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Integer id;

    @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY,
                cascade = {
                    CascadeType.PERSIST,
                    CascadeType.MERGE
                })
    @JoinTable(name = "deck_cards",
            joinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "deck_id", 
referencedColumnName = "id")},
            inverseJoinColumns = { @JoinColumn(name = "card_id", 
referencedColumnName = "id")})
    private Set<Card> cards = new HashSet<>();
// setters and getters
}

@Repository
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public class DeckRepositoryImpl implements DeckRepositoryCustom {

    @PersistenceContext
    EntityManager entityManager;

    @Override
    public Deck getDeckContaining(List<String> cardIds) {
        String queryStr =
                "select deck_id\n" +
                "from deck_cards\n" +
                // Hard-coding card_ids of interest for now to 
                // see if the query itself works
                "where card_id in (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)\n" +
                "group by deck_id\n" +
                "having count(*) = 8";
        Query query = entityManager.createNativeQuery(queryStr, 
Deck.class);
    return (Deck) query.getSingleResult();
}

I have a custom-defined method named getDeckContaining(), which was originally designed to take in List cardIds and see if there's a deck containing the ids stored in the list. For now, I hard-coded the ids of cards to look for in the query string. Even then, when I invoke the method like this:

    List<String> teamCardIdsInString = new ArrayList<>();
    //....
    Deck deckOfInterest = 
    deckRepository.getDeckContaining(teamCardIdsInString);

I am getting the following error message:

I am confused since I thought I used the field names as defined in the entities. Is there something that I might have missed?

Answer 1

java.sql.SQLException: Column 'id' not found. The issue is with the name of the column. referencedColumnName = "id" is the possible suspect here (below)

Possible Solution:

• Remove referencedColumnName = "id"
• As you haven't posted name as per your DB scheme (and also there is no @Column ) make sure that id field in your DB exist
