If you provide a wrong or incorrect Database name in your Spring Boot project application.properties file you are bound to get the Unknown database exception.
Fix/Solutions
- Make sure you have provided the right database name in the application.properties file.
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/myDB
- Connect to the database and check if you have the database present. Make use of the show databases; query to check.
- Make sure that you are connecting to the right Database server, it could be so that you are in the wrong database (eg Staging/UAT instead of Prod)
- Check with the DBA that you have access to the database.
