Summary of Changes
Hello @yennanliu, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request re-introduces and sets up the backend components for a ticketing system. It includes the necessary database table creation logic, updates the JPA entity and DTO for tickets with timestamp fields and appropriate column types, refactors the ticket update service method for correctness, adjusts database configuration for MySQL 8 and enhanced logging, and provides initial sample data and basic repository tests.
Highlights
- Database Initialization: Introduced a
DatabaseConfigclass that uses aCommandLineRunnerto ensure theticketstable is created on application startup if it doesn't already exist, including defining its schema with appropriate columns and indexes. - Ticket Entity & DTO: Updated the
Ticketentity to useLONGTEXTfor the description column definition and addedcreatedAtandupdatedAtfields with@CreationTimestampand@UpdateTimestampannotations for automatic timestamp management. TheTicketDtowas also updated to include these timestamp fields. - Improved Update Logic: Refactored the
updateTicketmethod inTicketServiceto correctly fetch the existing ticket by ID and update its fields, rather than deleting and re-saving, which preserves the original creation timestamp and entity identity. - Database Configuration: Updated
application.propertiesto use theMySQL8Dialect, enabledshow-sqlandformat_sqlfor better debugging, and added trace logging for SQL parameter binding. - Sample Data: Added a
data.sqlfile to initialize sample ticket statuses, tags (usingINSERT IGNOREintooption_schema), and sample tickets (usingINSERT IGNOREintotickets) on application startup. - Basic JPA Test: Added a
DatabaseConfigTestusing@DataJpaTestto verify that theTicketentity can be persisted and retrieved via theTicketRepository, implicitly testing the table structure and repository setup.

Code Review
This pull request re-introduces the tickets table and associated functionality. Key changes include adding a CommandLineRunner for initial table creation (though alternative schema management tools are generally preferred), updating the Ticket entity with timestamp fields and LONGTEXT for description, adding these fields to the TicketDto, improving the updateTicket service method to correctly update the existing entity, configuring Hibernate for MySQL 8 and enabling SQL logging, adding sample data initialization scripts, and including a @DataJpaTest to verify the persistence layer.

The SQL schema defines user_id and assigned_to as INT columns. It would be beneficial to add foreign key constraints referencing the users table (assuming one exists) to enforce referential integrity at the database level. This helps prevent orphaned tickets if users are deleted.

Using a CommandLineRunner with raw SQL for database schema management can be less maintainable than using dedicated tools like Flyway or Liquibase, or relying solely on Hibernate's ddl-auto feature combined with entity definitions. While CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS makes it idempotent, managing schema changes over time (e.g., adding columns, altering types) becomes more complex with this approach compared to migration scripts.

The comment mentions fixing compatibility with MySQL 5 and 8. While LONGTEXT is generally supported, relying on columnDefinition can sometimes lead to portability issues across different database systems or versions. Ensure this definition works correctly with your target database environment(s).
