1952+
When only basic SQL scripts are used, Spring Boot automatically creates the schema of an embedded `DataSource`.
19531953
This behavior can be customized by using the configprop:spring.datasource.initialization-mode[] property.
19541954
For instance, if you want to always initialize the `DataSource` regardless of its type:

In a JPA-based app, you can choose to let Hibernate create the schema or use `schema.sql`, but you cannot do both.

If you are using a <<spring-boot-features.adoc#howto-use-a-higher-level-database-migration-tool,Higher-level Database Migration Tool>>, like Flyway or Liquibase, you cannot use basic SQL scripts to create and initialize the schema.

In this situation, if `schema.sql` and `data.sql` are present, they will be ignored. It is not possible to use a Database Migration Tool to manage schema creation, and a basic SQL script to initialize it.

By default, Spring Boot enables the fail-fast feature of the Spring JDBC initializer.
19631971
This means that, if the scripts cause exceptions, the application fails to start.
19641972
You can tune that behavior by setting `spring.datasource.continue-on-error`.

When you add the `org.liquibase:liquibase-core` to your classpath, by default database migrations will run for both during application startup and before your tests run.

This behavior can be customized by using the configprop:spring.liquibase.enabled[] property, setting different values in the `main` and `test` folders.

It is not possible to use two different ways to initialize the database (e.g. Liquibase for application startup, JPA for test runs).

Alternatively, you can use Liquibase's native `DataSource` by setting `spring.liquibase.[url,user,password]` in external properties.
20662078
Setting either `spring.liquibase.url` or `spring.liquibase.user` is sufficient to cause Liquibase to use its own `DataSource`.
