Hello,

In the hibernate.cfg.xml, I have a property as following:





If I use this property "create", it will drop and create the schema automaitc. I wonder is there any bug in this version, since it should not drop and re-create if I set the property to "create". As I read the document, the property "create-drop" will be drop and create the schema.

How can I just create or update the schema if not existed or updated ?

I am using Hibernate-3.1-rc2 and Annotation-beta6 in Tomcat5 + jdk1.5._05.

Anyway, is there any tools to export the DDL and DML if I using Annotation ?

I believe the only difference between create and create-drop is WHEN the tables get dropped. With create-drop, the tables are dropped on SessionFactory close.

If you don't want them dropped, use "update" or remove the property completely after the initial creation.
