Hi all,
in the book "Java Persistence with Hibernate" ( P.64, manning.com/bauer2/chapter2.pdf) authors discourage doing of update the schema of a production database automatically in a production environment (also usage of hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update)
Quote:
WARNING: We've seen Hibernate users trying to use SchemaUpdate to update the schema of a production database automatically. This can quickly end in disaster and won't be allowed by your DBA
What reasons are just to warn?
Is that feature just very buggyyy??
Exist more details, why
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update just for a production database as DON'T declared?
Thanks
