java.sql.SQLException: Schema 'ROOT' does not exist

Question

i am using hibernate with embeded derby, and i want hibernate to create the database and the tables, so i tried the following configuration, but i am getting the error:

java.sql.SQLException: Schema 'ROOT' does not exist

here/s my configuration:

    <bean id="sessionFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">

    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.myapp.domain" />


    <property name="hibernateProperties">
        <value>
            hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect
            hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create
            hibernate.show_sql=false
            hibernate.format_sql=false
        </value>
    </property>

</bean>

<bean id="dataSource"
    class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">

    <property name="driverClassName" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver" />

    <property name="url" value="jdbc:derby:test;create=true" />

    <property name="username" value="root" />

    <property name="password" value="root" />

</bean>

<bean id="transactionManager"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>


<bean class="org.springframework.dao.annotation.PersistenceExceptionTranslationPostProcessor" />

UPDATE: it's my first use of derby so i maybe have some missing information, so i have a question:

do i have to Configure Embedded Derby as in here:

http://db.apache.org/derby/papers/DerbyTut/install_software.html

UPDATE 2: i removed the import.sql script file on classpath which is responsible for inserting demo data in the database, and i found out that there's an error in creating the database table:

1202 [main] INFO org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport - Running hbm2ddl schema export
1202 [main] INFO org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport - exporting generated schema to database

1360 [main] WARN org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter - Database 'test' not created, connection made to existing database instead.

Answer 1

after removing the import.sql file from classpath and running the application, i found that the error was that the databse is created, but the tables was not created by hbm2ddl due to the issue http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-789 stated here: constraint problems using apache derby and hbm2ddl

that the primary key cannot be defined as unique, since that is handled by the database itself.

so when i removed the unique attribute from the primary key, the error is gone.

Answer 2

Sorry, never used Derby myself, but I think the problem is that Hibernate cannot create any databases, database users or database schemas for you. This is just a guess, but to me the error message indicates that you also need a database schema for the user. Try to create the database, the database user root and a schema root beforehand, then connect with Hibernate to create the tables.

Answer 3

the easiest solution is to configure your database properties and make schema the same as user name but in capital litters ex: schema APP user app

hope my answer can help.
