Any plans to add support to SchemaUpdate for auxiluary database objects (<database-object>...)?
I wanted to discuss the implications here first before posting a Jira issue and trying to create a patch.

Thanks!

how would you do that ?

My use case here is mainly for stored procedures (I'd like to track and migrate them via SchemaUpdate). The 'dialect-scope' thing makes it a very attractive way to do that, since stored procs are so vendor specific.

So, I'd either always run the drop and then create for database objects or potentially add a 'check' or 'validate' script to a database-object that would be used by SchemaUpdate (and SchemaValidate) to determine if the object is already there.

Although, I may be missing something entirely. Is there another way to track stored procedures?

update/validate methods *might* be a solution but i'm worried about performance....if each object has to check its existence...but it's better than nothing.
