二、解决办法

1、查看你的mysql版本

select version();

比如我的版本是：8.0.3

2、更新mysql-connector-java的版本与mysql的版本一致是8版本

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.20</version>
</dependency>
