In my Spring boot application I have the dependency for sqlite jdbc driver specified:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.xerial</groupId>
  <artifactId>sqlite-jdbc</artifactId>
  <version>3.34.0</version>
</dependency>

and in pom.xml properties

<hibernate.version>5.1.0.Final</hibernate.version>

and have the below in my application.properties:

spring.jpa.database-platform=com.springboot.sqlite.SQLDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.jpa.defer-datasource-initialization = true

spring.datasource.url = jdbc:sqlite:cryptobot.db
spring.datasource.driver-class-name = org.sqlite.JDBC

But running the application fails with

org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'dataSource' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/jdbc/DataSourceConfiguration$Hikari.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource]: Factory method 'dataSource' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: org.sqlite.JDBC

What is going wrong here?

CodePudding user response：

Since, Hibernate doesn't ship with a Dialect for SQLite, you can follow the paths below:

1. Create your own dialect class by extending Dialect.

import java.sql.Types;
import org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect;

public class SQLiteDialect extends Dialect {
 public SQLiteDialect() {
  super();
  registerColumnType(Types.BIT, "integer");
  registerColumnType(Types.TINYINT, "tinyint");
  registerColumnType(Types.SMALLINT, "smallint");
  registerColumnType(Types.INTEGER, "integer");
  registerColumnType(Types.BIGINT, "bigint");
  registerColumnType(Types.FLOAT, "float");
  registerColumnType(Types.REAL, "real");
  registerColumnType(Types.DOUBLE, "double");
  registerColumnType(Types.NUMERIC, "numeric");
  registerColumnType(Types.DECIMAL, "decimal");
  registerColumnType(Types.CHAR, "char");
  registerColumnType(Types.VARCHAR, "varchar");
  .
  .
  .
 }
}

Click for the complete example.

2. You can use 3rd party dialects.

For Hibernate 5 add the dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.gwenn</groupId>
        <artifactId>sqlite-dialect</artifactId>
        <version>0.1.2</version>
    </dependency>

and the configuration:

hibernate.dialect=org.sqlite.hibernate.dialect.SQLiteDialect

I tried to replicate this in my local machine and here the solution.

You have to create your own dilect by extending org.hibernate.dialect

package com.mehul.SQLiteDemo.dialect;

import java.sql.Types;

import org.hibernate.dialect.Dialect;
import org.hibernate.dialect.function.SQLFunctionTemplate;
import org.hibernate.dialect.function.StandardSQLFunction;
import org.hibernate.dialect.function.VarArgsSQLFunction;
import org.hibernate.type.StringType;

public class SQLDialect extends Dialect {
    public SQLDialect() {
        registerColumnType(Types.BIT, "integer");
        registerColumnType(Types.TINYINT, "tinyint");
        registerColumnType(Types.SMALLINT, "smallint");
        registerColumnType(Types.INTEGER, "integer");
        registerColumnType(Types.BIGINT, "bigint");
        registerColumnType(Types.FLOAT, "float");
        registerColumnType(Types.REAL, "real");
        registerColumnType(Types.DOUBLE, "double");
        registerColumnType(Types.NUMERIC, "numeric");
        registerColumnType(Types.DECIMAL, "decimal");
        registerColumnType(Types.CHAR, "char");
        registerColumnType(Types.VARCHAR, "varchar");
        registerColumnType(Types.LONGVARCHAR, "longvarchar");
        registerColumnType(Types.DATE, "date");
        registerColumnType(Types.TIME, "time");
        registerColumnType(Types.TIMESTAMP, "timestamp");
        registerColumnType(Types.BINARY, "blob");
        registerColumnType(Types.VARBINARY, "blob");
        registerColumnType(Types.LONGVARBINARY, "blob");
        // registerColumnType(Types.NULL, "null");
        registerColumnType(Types.BLOB, "blob");
        registerColumnType(Types.CLOB, "clob");
        registerColumnType(Types.BOOLEAN, "integer");

        registerFunction("concat", new VarArgsSQLFunction(StringType.INSTANCE, "", "||", ""));
        registerFunction("mod", new SQLFunctionTemplate(StringType.INSTANCE, "?1 % ?2"));
        registerFunction("substr", new StandardSQLFunction("substr", StringType.INSTANCE));
        registerFunction("substring", new StandardSQLFunction("substr", StringType.INSTANCE));
    }

    public boolean supportsIdentityColumns() {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean hasDataTypeInIdentityColumn() {
        return false; // As specify in NHibernate dialect
    }

    public String getIdentityColumnString() {
        // return "integer primary key autoincrement";
        return "integer";
    }

    public String getIdentitySelectString() {
        return "select last_insert_rowid()";
    }

    public boolean supportsLimit() {
        return true;
    }

    protected String getLimitString(String query, boolean hasOffset) {
        return new StringBuffer(query.length()   20).append(query).append(hasOffset ? " limit ? offset ?" : " limit ?")
                .toString();
    }

    public boolean supportsTemporaryTables() {
        return true;
    }

    public String getCreateTemporaryTableString() {
        return "create temporary table if not exists";
    }

    public boolean dropTemporaryTableAfterUse() {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean supportsCurrentTimestampSelection() {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean isCurrentTimestampSelectStringCallable() {
        return false;
    }

    public String getCurrentTimestampSelectString() {
        return "select current_timestamp";
    }

    public boolean supportsUnionAll() {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean hasAlterTable() {
        return false; // As specify in NHibernate dialect
    }

    public boolean dropConstraints() {
        return false;
    }

    public String getAddColumnString() {
        return "add column";
    }

    public String getForUpdateString() {
        return "";
    }

    public boolean supportsOuterJoinForUpdate() {
        return false;
    }

    public String getDropForeignKeyString() {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("No drop foreign key syntax supported by SQLiteDialect");
    }

    public String getAddForeignKeyConstraintString(String constraintName, String[] foreignKey, String referencedTable,
            String[] primaryKey, boolean referencesPrimaryKey) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("No add foreign key syntax supported by SQLiteDialect");
    }

    public String getAddPrimaryKeyConstraintString(String constraintName) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("No add primary key syntax supported by SQLiteDialect");
    }

    public boolean supportsIfExistsBeforeTableName() {
        return true;
    }

    public boolean supportsCascadeDelete() {
        return false;
    }
}

Also update spring.jpa.database-platform=com.mehul.SQLiteDemo.dialect.SQLDialect with your package and classname.

Note : I used <hibernate.version>5.6.3.Final</hibernate.version>
