title: Use of Spring MVC and MySQL database
body: <p>I just started learning the Spring MVC framework for Java, and I want to learn how to handle CRUD operations as well as handling form data.</p>
  
  <p>So far many tutorials on the net are mostly about Spring with Maven combination which I find confusing as a self-studying beginner.</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate some clarifications on what I would need exactly to handle CRUD operations in a typical Spring MVC project with a preference of MySQL. Also any relevant tutorial suggestions to get the same would be highly appreciated. </p>
