In my Spring boot web application there are several views that define as entity model. In the startup of this application, many exceptions are thrown like below:

GenerationTarget encountered exception accepting command : Error executing DDL "alter table view_staff add constraint FK7qgsdfanumdw1ji68 foreign key (type_id) references stafftype" via JDBC Statement

How I could prevent spring boot from adding foreign key constraints to those views?

Solution

Because you dont tell Spring what is the the id to join the column to, it creates one default of its own that does not exists:

(type_id) references stafftype

Add:

@ManyToOne(optional = false)
@JoinColumn(name="staffType_id", nullable=false)
private StaffType staffType;

Make sure you have the completeing code on StaffType:

@OneToMany(mappedBy="staffType")
private Set<ViewStaff> ViewStaffs;
