Not to the point of the question  can be related though   but  if you bootstrap a new project and wondering why do you get the same error  it may come from the artifactId of spring-boot-starter-data-jpa in the dependency section  I gave the dependency below  You will need to define the database to get rid of this     lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-data-jpa lt  artifactId gt   lt  dependency gt

Your problem is the dependency of spring batch spring-boot-starter-batch that has a spring-boot-starter-jdbc transitive maven dependency   Spring Batch is a framework for building reliable and fault tolerance enterprise batch jobs  It supports many features like restarting a failed batch  recording the status of the batch execution and so on  In order to achieve that Spring Batch uses a database schema to store the status of the registered jobs  the auto-configuration already provides you the basic configuration of the required data source and it is this configuration that requires the relational database configuration    To solve this you must include some database driver like mysql  h2  etc  to configure the url    Update  Just for getting start you can configure your application yml like below   spring    datasource      driver-class-name  org h2 Driver     url  jdbc h2 mem localhost DB CLOSE ON EXIT FALSE     username  admin     password    and of course in your pom xml include the h2 dirver like this    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt project xmlns  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0  xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance           xsi schemaLocation  http   maven apache org POM 4 0 0 http   maven apache org xsd maven-4 0 0 xsd  gt       lt modelVersion gt 4 0 0 lt  modelVersion gt        lt groupId gt com example lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt demo lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 0 0 1-SNAPSHOT lt  version gt       lt packaging gt jar lt  packaging gt        lt name gt demo lt  name gt       lt description gt Demo project for Spring Boot lt  description gt        lt parent gt           lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-parent lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 2 0 3 RELEASE lt  version gt           lt relativePath  gt   lt  -- lookup parent from repository -- gt       lt  parent gt        lt properties gt           lt project build sourceEncoding gt UTF-8 lt  project build sourceEncoding gt           lt project reporting outputEncoding gt UTF-8 lt  project reporting outputEncoding gt           lt java version gt 1 8 lt  java version gt       lt  properties gt        lt dependencies gt                       lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt com h2database lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt h2 lt  artifactId gt           lt  dependency gt             lt  dependencies gt        lt  project gt    The motivation  because you can not use mongo for this purpose  is that the usage of mongo is provided only for item readers and writers and not for managing the internal database of Spring Batch that is an internal schema  not a business schema  The query is plain SQL query and the internal abstraction relies on a relational database  It is necessary to have a database with ACID capability because every batch reads and writes a chunk of work and saves that information in order to restart the job  A NoSql solution is not suitable for this   At the end you have configured a relational database in order to prepare Spring Batch for internal capability  the internal abstraction does not rely on mongo only on jdbc  Then mongo can be used but for the business side of the batch via item reader writer   I hope that this can help you to clear your doubts

It simply means you have downloaded a spring starter code with database dependency without configuring your database  So it doesn t know how to connect  For Spring boot version 2 18 do the following steps to fix it   Create a database for the driver you have downloaded ie mysql mongo etc   In your applications properties file add the db connection info  Sample is given for mysql if your db is mongo change it for mongo    spring datasource url jdbc mysql   localhost 3306 db name that you created spring datasource username your db username here spring datasource password your db pass here spring datasource driver-class-name com mysql jdbc Driver spring jpa database-platform   org hibernate dialect MySQL5Dialect spring jpa generate-ddl true spring jpa hibernate ddl-auto   update   Reboot the server it will be running

It can be that your resources directory is not added to classpath when creating a project via Spring Initializr  So your application is never loading the application properties file that you have configured   To make a quick test if this is the case  add the following to your application properties file   server port 8081   Now when running your application you should see in the spring boot console output something like this   INFO  o s b w e tomcat TomcatWebServer - Tomcat started on port s     8081    http  with context path      If your port is still default 8080 and not changed to 8081  your application properties files is obviously not loading   You can also check if your application runs with gradle bootRun from command line  Which most likely will be work   Solution    Close IntelliJ  then inside your project folder delete the   idea  folder Reimport your project to IntelliJ like following   Import Project  -   select ONLY your build gradle file to import    IntelliJ will automatically grab the rest  build and run your application again   See official answer by IntelliJ Support  IDEA-221673

This link helped       Spring Boot auto-configuration tries to configure beans   automatically based on the dependencies added to the classpath  And   because we have a JPA dependency  spring-data-starter-jpa  on our classpath  it tries to configure it    The problem  Spring boot doesn t have the all the info needed to configure the JPA data source i e  the JDBC connection properties  Solutions    provide the JDBC connection properties  best  postpone supplying connection properties by excluding some AutoConfig classes  temporary - should be removed eventually    The above link excludes the DataSourceAutoConfiguration class with   SpringBootApplication exclude  DataSourceAutoConfiguration class     But this didn t work for me  I instead  had to exclude 2 AutoConfig classes    SpringBootApplication exclude    DataSourceAutoConfiguration class  XADataSourceAutoConfiguration class

Check your application properties file  One of the probable reason for it is that  you might be added  quot Spring Data quot  maven plugin and you are not providing the datastore details in application properties file
