PostgreSQL jsonb testing using in-memory db - postgresql

Question

I am using postgres in production and have tables that have jsonb type columns. I am trying to test these queries using junits and an in-memory embedded database.
In the past, I have used H2 and HSQL for testing queries that run on MySql or Sybase. However, I am facing trouble using these for postgres as jsonb type is not supported by H2/HSQL.
Caused by: org.hsqldb.HsqlException: type not found or user lacks privilege: JSONB

Is there any alternate approach available or if there is any trick that I am missing that could make jsonb work with H2/HSQL?

Answer 1

H2 does not support JSONB column type,found this workaround,
create test db in postgres, and use this in your integration tests
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#ActiveProfiles({"test"})
define db properties in application-test.yml

Answer 2

For h2 version up to 2.1.212 you can create a custom type jsonb as json (which is supported by h2), by adding the next script in schema.sql file (from resources folder)
CREATE TYPE JSONB AS json;
P.S. Thanks #Sarajog. I've updated my post accordingly
