I am using, MySQL v8.0.33, Spring v3.1.1, Java v17, STS v4, lombok v1.18.28

I tried checking the cofiguration of my MySQL DB, but everything working fine. Tables are created when the server runs.

I tried rechecking my code and all the dependencies but unable to find any issue.

Please help me in this issue as this is my first time I am asking question on Stack Overflow! Thank You
