UniqueConstraint this annotation is used for annotating single or multiple unique keys at the table level separated by comma  which is why you get an error  it will only work if you let JPA create your tables Example  NoArgsConstructor  AllArgsConstructor  Getter  Setter  Builder builderClassName    quot Builder quot   toBuilder   true   Entity  Table name    quot users quot   uniqueConstraints    UniqueConstraint columnNames     quot person id quot    quot company id quot     public class AppUser extends BaseEntity         Column name    quot person id quot       private Long personId        ManyToOne      JoinColumn name    quot company id quot       private Company company     https   docs jboss org hibernate jpa 2 1 api javax persistence UniqueConstraint html On the other hand To ensure a field value is unique you can write  Column unique true  String username

Unique annotation should be placed right above the attribute declaration  UniqueContraints go into the  Table annotation above the data class declaration  See below    Entity  Table uniqueConstraints  arrayOf UniqueConstraint columnNames   arrayOf  col 1    col 2      data class Action           Id  GeneratedValue  Column unique   true          val id  Long           val col 1  Long           val col 2  Long

Note  In Kotlin the syntax for declaring the arrays in annotations uses arrayOf      instead of         Entity  Table uniqueConstraints arrayOf UniqueConstraint columnNames arrayOf  book    chapter number      class Chapter  ManyToOne var book Book                 Column var chapterNumber Int    Note  As of Kotlin 1 2 its is possible to use the       syntax so the code become much simpler   Entity  Table uniqueConstraints  UniqueConstraint columnNames   book    chapter number      class Chapter  ManyToOne var book Book                 Column var chapterNumber Int
