Question

Answer 1

It may be due to mysql version is too old so you need to do 3 changes in that case: in application.properties do first 2 changes:

1. spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

2. spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

3. Do changes in pom.xml file in dependency of mysql-connector-java replace scope tag to the version tag and in version write your mysql version like 5.1
