I’m trying to embed h2 to test my mysql-application (integration-test)

I added com.h2database:h2:1.3.170 via maven and run the following code:

public class InMemoryTest
{
    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {
      Class.forName("org.h2.Driver");

      Connection conn = DriverManager.
          getConnection("jdbc:h2:mem:test;MODE=MySQL;IGNORECASE=TRUE;INIT=RUNSCRIPT FROM 'src/test/resources/test.sql'");
    }
}

which gives me the following Exception:

Syntax error in SQL statement "
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ""usr_avatar"" (
  ""usr_avatar_id"" INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  ""usr_avatar_user_id"" INT(11) NOT NULL,
  ""usr_avatar_img"" BLOB NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (""usr_avatar_id""),
  UNIQUE KEY ""usr_avatar_id_UNIQUE"" (""usr_avatar_id""),
  UNIQUE KEY ""usr_avatar_user_id_UNIQUE"" (""usr_avatar_user_id""),
  KEY ""usr_user_id"" (""usr_avatar_user_id""),
  KEY ""fk_user_id"" (""usr_avatar_user_id"")
) AUTO_INCREMENT[*]=1  ";

Apparently, the “AUTO_INCREMENT” causes this?

Since this is valid MySQL (I exported the dump from my real database using MySQL Workbench), I’m a bit confused since h2 claims to support MySQL?
Here are a few lines from the .sql:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `usr_avatar`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "usr_avatar" (
  "usr_avatar_id" int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  "usr_avatar_user_id" int(11) NOT NULL,
  "usr_avatar_img" blob NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY ("usr_avatar_id"),
  UNIQUE KEY "usr_avatar_id_UNIQUE" ("usr_avatar_id"),
  UNIQUE KEY "usr_avatar_user_id_UNIQUE" ("usr_avatar_user_id"),
  KEY "usr_user_id" ("usr_avatar_user_id"),
  KEY "fk_user_id" ("usr_avatar_user_id")
) AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `usr_restriction`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS "usr_restriction" (
  "usr_restriction_id" int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  "usr_restriction_user_id" int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  "usr_restriction_ip" varchar(39) DEFAULT NULL,
  "usr_restriction_valid_from" date NOT NULL,
  "usr_restriction_valid_to" date DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY ("usr_restriction_id"),
  UNIQUE KEY "usr_restriction_id_UNIQUE" ("usr_restriction_id"),
  KEY "user_id" ("usr_restriction_user_id"),
  KEY "usr_user_id" ("usr_restriction_user_id")
) AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

What are my options? Should I export the dump with a different software and force it to be plain SQL? Which software could do that? Or am I doing something wrong?

    The source SQL exported from MySQL has double-quotes surrounding it’s literals. The first DROP statement also has a “back-tick” (`). But when H2 is reporting the error, H2 is showing the literals surrounded by double-double quotes. I think this is the problem.

    Try a couple of things. First, take the back-tick in the DROP statement and convert it to single quotes. If that doesn’t work, convert all of the double-quotes to single-quotes. If that doesn’t work, remove all of the quotes.

    I think H2 is trying to create tables with the double-quotes as a part of the actual table names/column names and this is causing it to bomb.
