How to use H2 database's integrated managment frontend?
For operations such as create table, alter table, add column, and so on.

Answer 1

I like SQuirreL SQL Client, and NetBeans is very useful; but more often, I just fire up the built-in org.h2.tools.Server and browse port 8082:
$ java -cp /opt/h2/bin/h2.jar org.h2.tools.Server -help
Starts the H2 Console (web-) server, TCP, and PG server.
Usage: java org.h2.tools.Server
When running without options, -tcp, -web, -browser and -pg are started.
Options are case sensitive. Supported options are:
[-help] or [-?] Print the list of options
[-web] Start the web server with the H2 Console
[-webAllowOthers] Allow other computers to connect - see below
[-webPort ] The port (default: 8082)
[-webSSL] Use encrypted (HTTPS) connections
[-browser] Start a browser and open a page to connect to the web server
[-tcp] Start the TCP server
[-tcpAllowOthers] Allow other computers to connect - see below
[-tcpPort ] The port (default: 9092)
[-tcpSSL] Use encrypted (SSL) connections
[-tcpPassword ] The password for shutting down a TCP server
[-tcpShutdown ""] Stop the TCP server; example: tcp://localhost:9094
[-tcpShutdownForce] Do not wait until all connections are closed
[-pg] Start the PG server
[-pgAllowOthers] Allow other computers to connect - see below
[-pgPort ] The port (default: 5435)
[-baseDir ] The base directory for H2 databases; for all servers
[-ifExists] Only existing databases may be opened; for all servers
[-trace] Print additional trace information; for all servers

Answer 2

How about the H2 console application?

Answer 3

I use sql-workbench for working with H2 and any other DBMS I have to deal with and it makes me smile :-)

Answer 4

I would like to suggest DBEAVER .it is based on eclipse and supports better data handling

Answer 6

There's a shell client built in too which is handy.
java -cp h2*.jar org.h2.tools.Shell
http://opensource-soa.blogspot.com.au/2009/03/how-to-use-h2-shell.html
$ java -cp h2.jar org.h2.tools.Shell -help
Interactive command line tool to access a database using JDBC.
Usage: java org.h2.tools.Shell <options>
Options are case sensitive. Supported options are:
[-help] or [-?] Print the list of options
[-url "<url>"] The database URL (jdbc:h2:...)
[-user <user>] The user name
[-password <pwd>] The password
[-driver <class>] The JDBC driver class to use (not required in most cases)
[-sql "<statements>"] Execute the SQL statements and exit
[-properties "<dir>"] Load the server properties from this directory
If special characters don't work as expected, you may need to use
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 (Mac OS X) or CP850 (Windows).

Answer 7

I haven't used it, but RazorSQL looks pretty good.

Answer 8

If you are running it as an embedded database in spring I use the following configuration to enable the built in web client when the main app is running:
<!-- Run H2 web server within application that will access the same in-memory database -->
<bean id="h2Server" class="org.h2.tools.Server" factory-method="createTcpServer" init-method="start" destroy-method="stop" depends-on="h2WebServer">
<constructor-arg value="-tcp,-tcpAllowOthers,-tcpPort,9092"/>
</bean>
<bean id="h2WebServer" class="org.h2.tools.Server" factory-method="createWebServer" init-method="start" destroy-method="stop">
<constructor-arg value="-web,-webAllowOthers,-webPort,8082"/>
</bean>

I use DbVisualizer a lot for H2-db administration.
There exists a free version:
