setting up an sql connection to run a spring-mvc project, using intelliJ

Question

I've cloned a spring-mvc project to my computer and trying to get it running using intelliJ. It seems, according to this that I need to establish an SQL connection. Do I need to download mysql to my computer, create an account and enter that information in my connection.XML file (seen below)?

Answer 1

Your conf file contains the definition for two different datasources, hsql and mysql. hsql is an in memory db.

Mysql is standalone database application.

yes to connect to the mysql source, you need to download mysql and set up users/schema.
