H2 database error: Database may be already in use: "Locked by another process"

H2 is still running (I can guarantee it). You need to use a TCP connection for multiple users such as ->

<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/C:\Database\Data\production;"/>

OR

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost/server~/dbname","username","password");

It also means you need to start the server in TCP mode. Honesetly, it is pretty straight forward in the documentation.

Force kill the process (javaw.exe for Windows), and make sure that any application that might have started it is shut down. You have an active lock.

I had the same problem.in Intellj, when i want to use h2 database when my program was running i got the same error.For solve this problem i changed the connection url from

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:file:~/ipinbarbot

to:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:h2:~/ipinbarbot;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE

And then my problem gone away. now i can connect to "ipinbarbot" database when my program is.If you use Hibernate, also don't forget to have:

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = update

goodluck

I'm using h2db with a test T24 tafj application, I had the same problem but I managed to resolve it by identifying the application that is running h2 (launched when I attempted to setup a database connection).

ps aux|grep java

will give output as:

sysadmin 22755  3.2  0.1 5189724 64008 pts/3   Sl   08:28   0:00 /usr/java/default/bin/java -server -Xmx2048M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -cp h2-1.3.175.jar:/r14tafj/TAFJ/dbscripts/h2/TAFJFunctions.jar org.h2.tools.Server -tcp -tcpAllowOthers -baseDir /r14tafj/t24/data

now kill this with its process id:

kill -9 22755

and at last remove the lock file:

rm -f dbname.lock.db
