In their official documentation, the Hibernate team recommends the below:Īlthough the automatic schema generation is very useful for testing and prototyping purposes, in a production environment, it’s much more flexible to manage the schema using incremental migration scripts.
In the next section we will discuss about best practices and safeguards when making a change in your production database schema. From our experience, it is easy to rename a class or a field and to then forget about the fact that a new table or column will be generated the next time the application is deployed. While Hibernate's auto-update works fine most of the time, it is quite magical and error-prone. The address table and its relationship to user have been added as expected. Spring Boot then assumes that we use the default MySql 8 dialect and configures Hibernate accordingly as shown in the startup logs:Ĭreate table address ( id integer not null auto_increment, city varchar ( 255 ), street_address varchar ( 255 ), zip_code varchar ( 255 ), user_id integer, primary key ( id ) ) engine = InnoDB alter table address add constraint FK_USER_ID foreign key ( user_id ) references user ( id )
#UPDATE MULTIPLE ROWS IN HIBERNATE JAVA DRIVER#
Inside our pom.xml we have configured the mysql jdbc driver as a dependency for MySql 8. Hibernate elegantly abstracts these differences as "dialects". There are subtle differences in how each SQL handles dates, string concatenation, etc. While SQL looks similar when working with various database providers, there is no such thing as completely interoperable SQL. It then sees that class and table are in sync and it does not make any further changes. When Hibernate runs the tests again, it compares the class User against the table user. What behaviour should we expect when we start the application one more time? The addressBook database schema has been generated and it contains the User table. are based on the information found in the User class (class name, attribute names and types, annotations, etc.).
The table name, column names, types, and etc. It then scans the User class and generates an SQL table creation query. Create table user ( id integer not null auto_increment, date_of_birth date, first_name varchar ( 255 ), last_name varchar ( 255 ), primary key ( id )) engine = InnoDBĪt startup, Hibernate parses all classes that have been decorated with the annotation.
