Spring Boot doesn`t start with Oracle. Schema-update doesn`t work

Hello!
I try integrate application with Oracle database. Oracle scheme is empty.
The following query returns nothing
select * from user_objects

application.yaml:

camunda.bpm:
  admin-user:
    id: test
    password: test
    firstName: Kermit
  filter:
    create: All tasks
  database:
    schema-update: drop-create
    type: oracle

spring.datasource.url: "jdbc:oracle:thin:@srv7-wastani:1521:oracle"
spring.datasource.username: "CAMUNDA"
spring.datasource.password: "CAMUNDA"
spring.datasource.driverClassName: "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"

and I get following logs:

I don`t understand why select VALUE_ from ACT_GE_PROPERTY is executed instead of create required tables.

If I change schema-update on false then

I know this is probably a silly question, but have you tried running the sql statements outside of SpringBoot?

Also I wouldn’t worry about the initial set of errors, that is Oracle complaining about the scripts trying to drop tables etc. that don’t exist in the first place - that is expected when you are bootstrapping the schema.

I would turn on some debug logging to get a better idea of the whats happening here.

Cheers, Conor.

Yes, I tried, it`s working. I executed sql/create/oracle_engine_7.8.0.sql and sql/create/oracle_identity_7.8.0.sql scripts through JDBC and it did. After I changed schema-update on false and application was started good.

After I changed schema-update on drop-create and it wasn`t start. The errors is same above.

I tried to analyse debug log but I didn`t see the cause of this behavior.

Thanks for answer. I will try to debug start.

I have oracle sheme (sheme2) where apllication start with schema-update on drop-create. But I dont understand why It doesnt work on the sheme1 and work on the scheme2.
