Connecting your application to a database is one of the most critical steps in modern software development, yet configuring and managing data access layers can quickly become overwhelming. This course provides a structured, reading-based approach to understanding how Spring Boot simplifies database interactions. You will transition from a foundational understanding of data persistence to confidently configuring and querying databases in your own applications. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of object-relational mapping and data persistence - Configure database connections using Spring Boot properties and modern connection pools - Implement data repositories using Spring Data JPA and write custom query methods - Manage database migrations reliably using tools like Flyway or Liquibase - Practice your knowledge through comprehensive written quizzes and structured code-reading exercises You will begin by learning fundamental database concepts and terminology before exploring configuration, entity mapping, and repository patterns. The course concludes with practical scenarios and quiz-based assessments designed to reinforce your architectural understanding. This text-based course is designed for beginner backend developers and Java programmers who are new to Spring Boot; no prior database-access experience is required.
