bad SQL grammar [SELECT JOB_INSTANCE_ID, JOB_NAME from BATCH_JOB_INSTANCE where JOB_NAME = ? and JOB_KEY = ?] Spring Boot / Spring Batch error. How to fix?

Reason for this error : Spring Boot / Spring Batch needs default tables where it can track the batch job related information. If the tables are not available in the database, we need to allow Spring to create them.

To configure this please add the following line in application.properties:

spring.batch.initialize-schema=always

If this doesn’t work, you can manually create tables by running the following script.
