How to extend hbm2ddl

jerger · **Posted:** Sat Sep 10, 2005 11:38 am

Hi all,

is it possible to add createstatements to the automatic hbm2ddl run on startup time?

We are touching our model every day and therefor we use the hbm2ddl very often in the create-drop mode. Now we are thinking about adding eg. additional sequences (for business keys). Can I add these additional create scripts to the hbm2ddl?

Kind regards,
Michael

I doubt you can do that, but you can achieve it by invoking an Ant task after schema export is done, just like populating a database using sql task after the db is created. e.g

Code:

<target name="create_additional_seqence">
     <sql driver="org....."
            url="jdbc...."
       userid="..."
        password=".."
            src="yourscripts.sql">
         <classpath refid="your_classpath"/>
   </sql>
</target>

Hope this helps.[/code]
