How to Resolve the Database/Schema Switching Issue in Hibernate Multi-Tenancy for Spring Boot

Implementing multi-tenancy in a Spring Boot application can offer great flexibility, allowing you to manage multiple databases or schemas efficiently. However, issues can arise when trying to switch between schemas, and one user recently reported a specific problem: the database/schema was not switching as expected upon API calls, resulting in SQL errors. In this post, we'll walk through the problem and its solution to help you get your application back on track.

The Problem: Schema Not Switching

When working with multi-tenancy in Hibernate, it is essential that your application correctly switches between databases or schemas based on the tenant identifier. In this case, a developer encountered the following issue:

The tenant was being identified correctly in the filter, but when a query was executed, the datasource was not switched appropriately.

This mistake led to a SQL exception: ERROR: relation "xyz" does not exist.

This symptom typically indicates that the application is trying to access a schema or database that hasn't been selected correctly for the current tenant.

Key Project Details

The specific setup included in the project was:

Spring Boot version: 2.5.12

Using MyBatis for database queries.

Using Hibernate for managing multi-tenancy.

The Solution: Adjusting the DataSource Configuration

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the fundamental issue stemmed from the integration of MyBatis with Hibernate. Here are the detailed steps to resolve the situation:

1. Understand the Role of MyBatis and Hibernate

MyBatis: This framework is primarily used for mapping SQL databases to Java objects. It allows for more control over SQL statements and is often preferred for complex queries.

Hibernate: In this context, it is configured to handle multi-tenancy, which requires the appropriate management of database connections based on the tenant identifier.

2. Review DataSource Configuration

Since the configuration was set up for Hibernate, it became crucial to ensure that MyBatis was also aligned correctly to switch the database context based on tenant information.

Make sure your DataSourceBasedMultiTenantConnectionProviderImpl is properly implemented to return the correct DataSource for the identified tenant. The code you have shared looks good, but ensure that the loading of tenant data sources is properly invoked.

3. Use Spring Data JPA Appropriately

Although the application was set up to use MyBatis, switching to Spring Data JPA or ensuring that JPA is properly configured along with MyBatis could simplify the tenant switching:

4. Ensure Proper Invocation of Multi-Tenant Logic

Double-check that any logic related to multi-tenancy such as identifying the current tenant is being executed at the right point in your business method calls.

This may require tracing through your API to verify that the tenant identifier is set as you expect.

Conclusion: A Unified Approach

In summary, addressing the issue of the database/schema switching in Hibernate multi-tenancy when using Spring Boot requires careful attention to how MyBatis and Hibernate interact. By ensuring that your application's data source is correctly configured and that the tenant identification is functioning as intended, you can effectively manage your multi-tenant architecture without running into SQL errors.
