title: Disable all Database related auto configuration in Spring Boot
body: <p>I am using Spring Boot to develop two applications, one serves as the server and other one is a client app. However, both of them are the same app that function differently based on the active profile. I am using auto configuration feature of Spring Boot to configure my applications. </p>
  
  <p>I want to disable all the database related auto configuration on client app, since it won't be requiring database connection. Application should not try to establish connection with the database, nor try to use any of the Spring Data or Hibernate features. The enabling or disabling of the database auto configuration should be conditional and based on the active profile of the app.</p>
  
  <p>Can I achieve this by creating two different application.properties files for respective profiles? </p>
  
  <p>I tried adding this to my properties file,</p>
  
  <pre><code>spring.autoconfigure.exclude=org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.orm.jpa.HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration\
    org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration\
  org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceTransactionManagerAutoConfiguration\
    org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.data.web.SpringDataWebAutoConfiguration
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, the application still tries to connect to the database on start. Are those exclusions sufficient for achieving my requirement?</p>
