Access to DialectResolutionInfo cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set 问题的解决方法

环境为：Spring Boot2 + Gradle5。

使用了 spring-boot-starter-data-jpa 依赖并配置了 MySQL 驱动与相关用户名、密码等配置。启动时抛出以下异常：

原因： 因为 JPA 用到了 Hibernate，而 Hibernate 必须配置方言。

解决： 在 application.yml 中的 spring 节点，为 Hibernate 配置 MySQL 方言：

  jpa:
    properties:
      hibernate:
        dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect

Spring Boot 重点就在配置，学会看错误堆栈日志，有利于快速定位问题。
