Answer 1

You should use MySQL Connector/J 8.0.9 or higher.

For Windows 7:

1. Create a new driver new driver creation
2. Select a new MySQL Connector/J 8.0.9 or higher choosing new driver If you didn't install it during MySQL setup, you should do it first
3. Create a new connection using new driver new connection creation
4. Check an information, enter the password, change a value of the "zeroDateTimeBehavior" param to "CONVERT_TO_NULL", test the connection check connection If you have a "time zone" error, you should configure your MySQL time zone first
