I have created MySQL database using create database dblife character set utf8. I have using MySQL version 8.0.11 and MySQL-connector version 5.1.4. After downloading MySQL-connector, I have replaced .jar file with the Mysql.jar inside lib/ext directory. So, When I run the Liferay server version 6.2, It gives me following error shown below.
Error I am getting on eclipse console:

Furthermore, I am unable to add portal-ext.properties inside liferay.home directory. When I add this portal-ext.properties file, then I get Error: Liferay v6.2(tomcat7 at localhost has encountered a problem.
I have checked existing solution liferay-not-working-with-mysql, but I cannot see Database Migration options inside Control Panel > Administration Tools
Could anyone please suggest me solution. I will be very thankful to you.
When you install Liferay, it requires CREATE TABLE and other DDL permissions on the database. Make sure that you grant those to the user you're running Liferay as. You can revoke them, once the tables are created - after installation Liferay only needs the standard CRUD operations (until you upgrade or deploy new components that require such permissions).
Also, Liferay 6.2 predates mysql 8 by a few years - it's safe to assume that both have never been tested together, and I'd recommend to go with a database that's been tested with it, rather than trying to make work what nobody has ever tried before. You'll find the enterprise-supported versions in the compatibility matrix.
