If you are looking for to create database if not exists then you can use below in database configuration file.

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname?createDatabaseIfNotExist=true

Otherwise make sure you have below properties in your application properties file.

spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname
spring.datasource.username=username
spring.datasource.password=password
