title: How to use a persistent H2 database in the Play Framework instead of in-memory
body: <p>The H2 database used in the Java Todo List tutorial is the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>db.default.driver=org.h2.Driver
  db.default.url="jdbc:h2:mem:play"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I modify the configuration file to use a persistent database as opposed to an in-memory version. Do I need to setup an entirely separate DB or can I modify the <code>db.default.url</code> property? </p>
  
  <p>I'm using Play! 2.0.3. </p>
