Spring Boot - Hibernate - Import Date from SQL Query - sql

Question

I am currently building a REST API with Spring Data (and Boot).
I have a sql Dumb from an h2database, which is accessed by hibernate.
My Application.yaml:
spring:
profiles: "dev"
datasource:
data: classpath:/data_api.sql
jpa:
hibernate:
naming:
physical-strategy: org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl
ddl-auto: create-drop
The sql query lools like this:
Insert into TABLE (name, number, date) values ("James", 123, to_date('28-JUL-17','DD-MON-RR'))
Information.java looks like:
#Entity
#Table(name="TABLE")
#Data
public class Information {
#Column(name="name")
String name;
#Column(name="number")
Integer number;
#Column(name="date")
String date;
When I try to run the API I got the following exception:
enter image description here
Caused by: org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Function "TO_DATE": Invalid
date format: " Tried to parse one of '[Jul, Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Mai,
Nov, Jan, Dez, Okt, Mär, Sep]' but failed (may be an internal
error?). Details:
TO_DATE('16-MAR-17', 'DD-MON-RR')
^ , ^ <-- Parsing failed at this point"; SQL statement
My guess is that hibernate takes some locale where the months are configured in german - does anybody know how to change that?
Another way would be to tell hibernate --> ignore the sql function to_date() and just read the field as string. I tried something like writing #org.hibernate.annotations.Type(type =“text“) over the #column annotation - but it doesn't work :(
EDIT: When changing the Monthname in the import queries to german --> like OCT --> OKT ; DEC --> DEZ.. it works. So it seems that Hibernate is using my local language settings for mapping. Is there a way to change this to english?

Answer 1

If anybody else comes to this problem - I figuered it out. Hibernate reads the Locate settings. So with a simple code line in the Main Application this is done:
Locale.setDefault(new Locale("en", "US"));
