What is the default username and password for h2 when there's nothing explicit in JDBC?

From a program, I created a H2 database without specifying any user or password in the JDBC URL.

Now I'm trying to access that database with the Script tool. The doc says to use -user sa in the default case. That doesn't work, and it still doesn't work if I either add -password sa or remove -user. What am I missing?

/opt/h2/bin java -cp h2-1.3.161.jar org.h2.tools.Script -url jdbc:h2:/data/jug/jas-coref.h2 -user sa -password sa -script /data/jug/ris-start.sql

Well, duh, that didn't take long.

The answer is -user "".


This might work:

name = "sa"
password = ""

In case you got stuck with the default non-blank user when running the client, the full set of parameters will get you past that:

java -cp <path_to_h2>\h2.jar org.h2.tools.Shell -url "jdbc:h2:file:<jdbc_url>" -driver "org.h2.Driver" -user "" -password ""

In your application.properties file please add

       spring.datasource.username=username
       spring.datasource.password=password

hope it helps
