Cheers and thanks for what ever help.

This is my problem in a nutshell. I built an "Ant" build.xml file
to execute "org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask"
via a target/task. The task works great when I create "SQL" scripts; but
when I change the "text" attribute to equal "no" the "Ant" task
fails to export the schema.

Note: This tid-bit seems a bit wierd to me; but, when I failed at exporting to the database,
via mentioned "Ant" task; I created a quick and dirty application. The application was
built around "org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport" and successfully
exported the schema. This proved to me that the Oracle "JDBC" driver was good, "Hibernate 3.1" was good, and j2sdk1.4.2_07 was good.

I am using the following:
"Ant" (1.6.2)
"Hibernate" (3.1)
"Java" (j2sdk1.4.2_07)
"Oracle" (10g)
Please see the mapping file (dummy.hbm.xml) near bottom
of this and build.xml too.

BELOW IS THE SUCCESSFUL CONSOLE OUTPUT I GET WHEN I RUN
org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask
VIA THIS ANT TASK WITH THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS,

, NO PROBLEMS EVERYTHING WORKS AS EXPECTED... SCRIPT

dude, text=yes means generate text, no export to db, text=no means do not genereate text and then export to db. Its too very different things and of course you can get db errors when text=no.

Thanks Max.

Yes, I am aware of what you said, as I stated at the starting point of my description problem... its works fine to generate scripts (text='yes') but not for exporting script (text='no') to DB (creation of table).

In addition, it appears that setting text="no" does effect the text script file. Because, when the task is executed, with attribute 'text' set to 'no' my previously created text script file is written to. In my case, the previously created text script file is wiped out. I seem to recall with version 2.1, it too wrote to the output script file wether or not 'text' attribute was set to either 'yes' or 'no'.
