17459


I have defined the following pojo to store user information

package com.example.model;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import org.hibernate.annotations.GenericGenerator;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Parameter;

@Entity
@Table(name = "user")
public class User {
	
	@GenericGenerator(
	        name = "userSequenceGenerator",
	        strategy = "org.hibernate.id.enhanced.SequenceStyleGenerator",
	        parameters = {
	                @Parameter(name = "sequence_name", value = "userSequence"),
	                @Parameter(name = "initial_value", value = "1"),
	                @Parameter(name = "increment_size", value = "1")
	        }
	)
	
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(generator = "userSequenceGenerator")
    private long id;
    private String name;
    private int age;
    private String email;


    public long getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(long id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }

    public void setAge(int age) {
        this.age = age;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }

}

On startup of my application, i am getting the following exception

You are using the reserved keyword "user" for your table name, change it to something else may be "users".
