CHAPTER 7: Rapid Web Development with Grails 345

H2 Console

As discussed earlier, Grails enables the H2 database console in development mode (at the URI
/dbconsole) so that the in-memory database can be easily queried from the browser. To see the
dbconsole in action, browse to http://localhost:8080/bookstore/dbconsole. The default login
parameters should match the default in grails-app/conf/Datasource.groovy, as illustrated in
Figure 7-29.

You can get the user name and password from Datasource.groovy. Figure 7-30 illustrates the H2
console.
