Upgrade to H2 2.2.224

Supersedes #37316

[Chrissyx]

Any plans to upgrade H2 2.2 in Spring Boot 2.7, too?

[wilkinsona]

No. Spring Boot 2.7.x is using H2 2.1.x Moving to 2.2.x would not align with our maintenance policy.

[Chrissyx]

What a pity. We're currently on Spring Boot 2.6 and cannot upgrade to 2.7 due to H2 2.1 having this bug:
h2database/h2database#3604
...which was fixed in their 2.2 release.

[wilkinsona]

You can upgrade to H2 2.2 yourself using the h2.version property. We won't do it by default as not everyone will want a new minor of H2 when moving to a new maintenance release of Spring Boot.

[Chrissyx]

We tried that, not with that property but via POM. It did not work, Hibernate seemed to be incompatible.

[wilkinsona]

You can also try upgrading Hibernate too if you want but this sort of incompatibility is why we only make these sorts of upgrades in new minors of Spring Boot.
