IMPORTANT NOTES

• Springboot will automatically create the tables in the database
• If you're creating a new entity, stop the springboot application so it doesn't instantly create the table while you're still working on the entity
• If you made a mistake in the entity, delete the table from the database and restart the springboot application

  DROP TABLE IF EXISTS <table_name>;
  

• To check schema of the database

  SHOW TABLES;
  

• To check the schema of a table

  DESCRIBE <table_name>;
