What is the H2 Database?

Card Puncher Data Processing

About

H2 is an embedded and standalone ANSI-SQL89 compliant SQL engine on top of the internal key-value mvstore.

Features / Advantages

The database is implemented in Java (It was used as an example by Flyway)

You have:

  • a SQL database
  • a Key-value database (ie mvstore)
  • support of the PostgreSQL network protocol (It works then with the Postgres ODBC driver)

To start the embedded UI, you need to set the auto-server properties

Example:

jdbc:h2:./path;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE

then you can access the GUI to the URL: http://localhost:8082

Shell

The shell tool

java -cp h2-*.jar org.h2.tools.Shell
