You can use the MySQL connector in the Maven dependency,

    mysql
    mysql-connector-java
    8.0.14

Then you need the set the right parameters in the application.properties file,

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/UserReward?useUnicode=true&useJDBCCompliantTimezoneShift=true&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&serverTimezone=UTC
spring.datasource.username=testuser
spring.datasource.password=testpassword
# MySQL driver
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect
