REVINFO table is missing the sequence "revinfo_seq" - postgresql

Question

I am migrating to SpringBoot 3.0.1 and updated "hibernate-envers" version to "6.1.6.Final". My DB is PostgreSQL 13.6.
Hibernate is configured to create the DB schema:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto:create
After starting the application I get the following error:
pim 2022-12-27 12:00:13,715 WARN C#c7b942ec-33b4-4749-b113-22cbb2946a8d [http-nio-9637-exec-1] SqlExceptionHelper/133 - SQL Error: 0, SQLState: 42P01
pim 2022-12-27 12:00:13,715 ERROR C#c7b942ec-33b4-4749-b113-22cbb2946a8d [http-nio-9637-exec-1] SqlExceptionHelper/138 - ERROR: relation "revinfo_seq" does not exist
Position: 16
The revinfo table look like this:
create table revinfo
(
revision bigint not null
primary key,
client_id varchar(255),
correlation_id varchar(255),
origin varchar(255),
request_id varchar(255),
revision_timestamp bigint not null,
timestamp_utc timestamp with time zone,
user_name varchar(255)
);
The sequence "revinfo_seq" does not exist, but in the old DB structure with envers
5.6.8.Final
and SpringBoot 2.6.6 it didn't exist either without any problems.
What am i Missing?
I tried to toggle the paramter
org.hibernate.envers.use_revision_entity_with_native_id
but it did not help.

You can solve it with this property:
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.id.db_structure_naming_strategy: legacy
Tested with Spring Boot 3.0.1
Reason:
Hibernate 6 changed the sequence naming strategy, so it was searching for a sequence ending with "_seq".
You can a really detailed explanation here: https://thorben-janssen.com/sequence-naming-strategies-in-hibernate-6/
