It seems activeMQ creates the tables (ACTIVEMQ_ACKS, LOCK, etc) when it starts up. Can you create the tables manually? Where is the DDL for that?
I have a local SQL Server 2008 that I want to configure ActiveMQ to use. My activemq.xml configuration is: <persistenceAdapter> <jdbcPersistenceAdapter dataSource="#sqlserver-ds"/> </persistenceAdapter> <bean id="sqlserver-ds" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close"> <property name="driverClassName" value="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"/> <property name="url" value="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=activemq;integratedSecurity=true"/> <property name="maxActive" value="20"/> <property name="poolPreparedStatements" value="true"/> </bean> When I start up activemq, table creation shows errors: INFO | Using Persistence Adapter: JDBCPersistenceAdapter(org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource@3e026eea) INFO | Database adapter driver override recognized for : [microsoft_sql_server_jdbc_driver_3_0] - adapter: class org.apache.activemq.store.jdbc.adapter.TransactJDBCAdapter WARN | Could not create JDBC tables; they could already exist.

Becoming the master on dataSource: org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource@3e026eea So it seems failed when creating the tables. I do see tables dbo.ACTIVEMQ_ACKS, _LOCK and _MSGS generated but has the error caused some problem (or can it be safely ignored)?
