Issues using spring boot with MySQL database

Question

I'm trying to make a spring boot project that connects to a MySQL database but keep getting the error

java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'db_todo.pg_class' doesn't exist

db_todo is the name of my database. I am using MySQL version 8.0.17. I appreciate any help you can give me in advance. Thanks!

Here is my POJO

package com.todo.service.todo;

import javax.persistence.*;

@Entity
@Table(name = "todo")
public class Todo {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.AUTO)
    private int id;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String title;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private boolean completed;


    public Todo(int id, String title, boolean completed) {
        this.id = id;
        this.title = title;
        this.completed = completed;
    }

    public Todo(){

    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public boolean isCompleted() {
        return completed;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }

    public void setCompleted(boolean completed) {
        this.completed = completed;
    }
}

Here is my application.properties

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://${MYSQL_HOST:localhost}:3306/db_todo?useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC
spring.datasource.username=springuser
spring.datasource.password=ThePassword
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.show-sql=false
spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy=org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl

I realise some things may seem unnecessary (timezone etc) but they've been added in for previous errors which iv'e gotten, and an unsure why.

Then finally here is my POM.xml, as I'm using maven.

Answer 1

Please try to use these (as you are using MySql not PostgreSQL)

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

Hope was helpful :)
