Unsuccessful: alter table XXX drop constraint YYY in Hibernate/JPA/HSQLDB standalone

Question

I am trying to run some Hibernate/JPA examples using an in-memory HSQL DB. The error message I get is the following:

13:54:21,427 ERROR SchemaExport:425 - HHH000389: Unsuccessful: alter table ReferringItem_map drop constraint FK5D4A98E0361647B8
13:54:21,427 ERROR SchemaExport:426 - user lacks privilege or object not found: PUBLIC.REFERRINGITEM_MAP
13:54:21,427 ERROR SchemaExport:425 - HHH000389: Unsuccessful: alter table ReferringItem_myCollection drop constraint FK75BA3266361647B8

13:54:21,428 ERROR SchemaExport:425 - HHH000389: Unsuccessful: alter table ReferringItem_mySet drop constraint FK3512699A361647B8
13:54:21,429 ERROR SchemaExport:426 - user lacks privilege or object not found: PUBLIC.REFERRINGITEM_MYSET

The corresponding class is:

@Entity
public class ReferringItem implements Serializable {

    @Id
    private long id;

    @ElementCollection
    private Collection<AnEmbeddable> myCollection
        = new ArrayList<AnEmbeddable>();

    @ElementCollection(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
    private Set<Long> mySet = new HashSet<Long>();

    @ElementCollection(targetClass=String.class)
    private List myList = new ArrayList();

    @ElementCollection
    private Map<String,AnEmbeddable> map
        = new HashMap<String,AnEmbeddable>();

    public ReferringItem() { }

    // Setters & Getters

}

The embeddable is:

@Embeddable
public class AnEmbeddable implements Serializable {

    private String s;

    public AnEmbeddable() { }

    public String getS() {
        return s;
    }

    public void setS(String s) {
        this.s = s;
    }

}

My persistence.xml:

<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd" version="2.0">

    <persistence-unit name="JPA" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

        <class>com.jverstry.jpa.AuthorizedTypes.AuthorizedTypes</class>
        <class>com.jverstry.jpa.AuthorizedTypes.OtherEntity</class>
        <class>com.jverstry.jpa.AuthorizedTypes.SomeEmbeddable</class>

        <properties>
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:testdb"/>
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="sa"/>
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value=""/>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>
            <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>
        </properties>

    </persistence-unit>

</persistence>

I am on Hibernate 4.1.5.Final and HSQLDB 2.2.8.

Does anyone know what is causing this issue and how to solve it?

Answer 1

You can ignore these errors. Combination of create-drop and empty (which is the case always for in-memory) database produces these for every database object it tries to drop. Reason being that there is not any database objects to remove - DROP statements are executed against empty database.

Also with normal permanent database such a errors do come, because Hibernate does not figure out before executing DROP statements does added object exist in database or is it new.
