Relation does not exist for Spring Entity

Question

import javax.persistence.*;

    @Table(name = "users")
    @Entity
    public class User {
    
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
        @Column(name = "userID")
        private long userID;
    }
        
    @Table(name = "subscriptions")
    @Entity
    public class Subscription {
    
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
        @Column(name = "subscriptionID")
        private long subscriptionID;
    
        @ManyToOne
        @JoinColumn(name="userID")
        private User user;
    
    }

This code crashes:

Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "subscriptions" does not exist

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect

spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQL10Dialect spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create-drop

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=org.postgresql.Driver

Code works for

 import javax.persistence.*;
    
        @Table(name = "users")
        @Entity
        public class User {
        
            @Id
            @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
            @Column(name = "userID")
            private long userID;
        }
            
        @Table(name = "subscriptions")
        @Entity
        public class Subscription {
        
            @Id
            @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
            @Column(name = "subscriptionID")
            private long subscriptionID;
        
        }

How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Just use spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update instead of create-drop
