Description

Different versions of same database platform behave differently, database-platform is not enough to choose the most precise dialect, it should combines with major-version and minor-version, we should migrate to standard JPA properties:

  • jakarta.persistence.database-product-name
  • jakarta.persistence.database-major-version
  • jakarta.persistence.database-minor-version

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing spring.jpa.database and spring.jpa.database-platform properties and the linked Jakarta Persistence provider-contract specification. Trace how the database product name, major version, and minor version are currently handled, then define the compatibility expectations for the standard JPA properties and verify them with the relevant project tests.
