Can anyone suggest me what I am doing wrong here?

Solution 1

Hibernate won't automatically generate your database schema for you. You have to tell it to do so with a special hibernate property:

hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto

With value update or create based on what you want. See here and the related chapters.

In Spring, the configuration goes

    <property name="hibernateProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">${jdbc.dialect}</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
        </props>
    </property>

Solution 2

If the table really, really, does exist in mySQL, and your using Linux/Unix, and the error shows the table name in all wrong/upper-case, then the issue is that table names in MySQL are case sensitive and hibernate is upper casing them. I'm using hibernate 4.3.

I just had this issue. Explanation here: lower_case_table_names=1

--edit-- In retrospect, it's probably better to find and change any @Table or hbm.xml references to match the database. I ran a wizard that generated an hbm.xml with uppercase names -- didn't realize that it was in my project until just now. I'll leave this here to make people aware of the case sensitivity.

--end of edit--

Here is how I fixed it:

1. Drop the database.

2. Add this to /etc/mysql/my.conf:

   set lower_case_table_names=1 #(default value '0'). 
   

3. Restart mysqld.
4. Recreate the Database.
5. optional? Change to lowercase all table names in annotations/hbm.xml.
