Application.yml access to dialectresolutioninfo cannot be null when hibernate.dialect not set

Here this issue occurred while connecting to database through Hibernate and not declared dialect while mentioning all connection properties. In hibernate dialect is required properties so that hibernate known what type of queries need to generate because every database have different queries patterns.

Solutions

Below is example to connect to H2 database by hibernate. You can update properties values according to your database. Added hibernate.dialect to connect H2 database.

Hibernate Supported Dialect List

In hibernate.cfg.xml

<property name="dialect"> org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect </property>

In application.properties with Spring boot + JPA

spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect

what’s wrong here?

Hibernate can determine the correct dialect to use automatically, but in order to do this, it needs a live connection to the database.

Note: To resolve error “access to dialectresolutioninfo cannot be null when 'hibernate.dialect' not set”.

Make sure you have mysql driver and username, password correct. In spring boot for jpa java config you need to extend JpaBaseConfiguration and implement it's abstract methods. The following are some of the reasons for the hibernate. dialect not set issue.
