Hi there,

I have several schemas being exported via the method. The problem is, some of these schemas use a sequence table, and sometimes I only want to drop the tables for some of the schemas. Is there anyway to stop Hibernate from also dropping the sequence table? It causes unique constraint violations etc.

Thanks,
Mal

Why are you always doing drops/adds of tables? Why doesn't net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaUpdate work for you?

So far, the only drawback I've found using it is if I change an attribute it creates the new one but doesn't know to remove the old named one.

David

Howdy,

Thanks for the reply! I usually use it as just a way of clearing out the database tables automatically, and on occassion to update the schema, the latter for which I'll now use the SchemaUpdate class (thanks!). Is there another quick Hibernate option to simply delete all entries in tables?

Sincerely,
Mal

From what I've seen, it's mostly an all or nothing: SchemaUpdate for fixing field types or adding new fields (not removing fields and not removing data) or SchemaExport for dropping everything and recreating everything fresh.

David
