H2

Testing

To test using H2 set the platform to h2 in src/test/resources/application-test.yaml

Refer to docs / testing if application-test.yaml doesn't exist yet.

ebean:
  test:
    platform: h2 # h2, postgres, mysql, oracle, sqlserver
    ddlMode: dropCreate # none | dropCreate | migrations
    dbName: test

The above will use the following defaults:

ebean-h2 dependency

We can use the io.ebean:ebean-h2 dependency rather than io.ebean:ebean if we want to only bring in the H2Database specific platform code. Depending on io.ebean:ebean will bring in all platforms.

Types

UUID

UUID is a native H2 type.

History support

History support for H2 is provided by generating triggers and history table.
