Error "Schema "information_schema" not found;" running "migrate up" on H2 database

Question

I'm testing h2 database in a ColdBox application (on Lucee) ... I can connect to database with Quick but I'm not able to run migrations...

this is the error displayed in CommandBox after migration init and migration up

ERROR (5.2.1+00295)
Schema "information_schema" not found; SQL statement:SELECT 1 FROM "information_schema"."tables" WHERE "table_name" = ? AND "table_schema" = ? [90079-172]   
MigrationService.cfc
SELECT 1 FROM "information_schema"."tables" WHERE "table_name" = 'cfmigrations' AND "table_schema" = 'testAppDB'

Both Application.cfc and box.json use ENVIRONMENT settings:

# ColdBox Name and Environment
APPNAME=tastApp
ENVIRONMENT=development

DB_BUNDLEVERSION=1.3.172
DB_PORT=
DB_USER=sa
DB_BUNDLENAME=org.h2
DB_CLASS=org.h2.Driver
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DRIVER=org.h2.Driver
DB_SCHEMA=appDB
DB_DATABASE=appDB
DB_CONNECTIONSTRING=jdbc:h2:/Users/elena/coldbox-examples/testApp/database/appDB;MODE=MySQL;
DB_PASSWORD=

h2 was downloaded from Lucee download page and saved in /lib folder (I've added dependencies in box.json)

this is the grammar settings:

"defaultGrammar":"AutoDiscover@qb"

What am I missing?

Thank you in advance

UPDATE - May 18

Thanks to Evgenij,

now I am able to query the latest version of h2, 1.4.200, which accepts the setting (CASE_INSENSITIVE_IDENTIFIERS = TRUE) which makes all identifier names (table names, column names) case insensitive.

Unfortunately migrations with commandbox-migrations still give me error:

these are the current configurations I am using:

"cfmigrations":{
    "migrationsDirectory":"resources/database/migrations",
    "schema":"INFORMATION_SCHEMA",
    "connectionInfo":{
        "bundleName":"com.h2database",
        "bundleVersion":"1.4.200",
        "password":"",
        "connectionString":"jdbc:h2:/Users/elena/coldbox-examples/testApp/database/appDB;MODE=MySQL;DATABASE_TO_LOWER=TRUE;CASE_INSENSITIVE_IDENTIFIERS=TRUE;",
        "class":"org.h2.Driver",
        "username":""
    },
    "defaultGrammar":"AutoDiscover@qb"
}

this is the last error:

Answer 1

H2 1.3.172 is very old and it can't properly emulate non-standard lower case INFORMATION_SCHEMA from MySQL.

You need to use a recent version of H2 (such as 1.4.200, for example) with ;MODE=MySQL;DATABASE_TO_LOWER=TRUE appended to JDBC URL, ;MODE=MySQL alone is not enough.
