My Spring Boot app is connected to a MySQL database, but the code will not run. In MySQL workbench I created a database schema called "bookstore" which is empty (as in, there are no existing tables in it).
Here is my application.properties file:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/bookstore
spring.datasource.username=username
spring.datasource.password=password
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
I am getting similar errors with a few of my classes. I am not sure what this issue could be, especially since I generated it with Hibernate Reverse Engineering and did not make major alterations to it. I checked the foreign keys since that's what seems to be causing trouble, but I'm not sure what the issue could be. It seems like hibernate is trying to drop foreign keys for some reason but is unable to because the tables don't exist yet. Should I manually go in MySQL workbench and create the tables?
