Spring Boot + Spring data JPA + MySQL

The previous Spring Boot + Spring data JPA will be reused, modify to support MySQL database.

Technologies used :

• Spring Boot 2.1.2.RELEASE
• Spring 5.1.4.RELEASE
• Hibernate 5.3.7

2. Configure MySQL

2.1 Update the MySQL setting in spring.datasource.*

## MySQL
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/wordpress
spring.datasource.username=mkyong
spring.datasource.password=password
#`hibernate_sequence' doesn't exist
spring.jpa.hibernate.use-new-id-generator-mappings=false
# drop n create table, good for testing, comment this in production
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create

Done.
