Hello,

I used SchemaExportTask to generate .sql file for the mapping, but it always generate a line "DROP TABLE xxxx".

In fact, I did not add any "drop" parameter.

Of course it does. Thats why you can turn it off:

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but I only see a way to "only drop" the tables and no option to "not put" the drops...

hes right - there is no option to only drop in SchemaExport.

But you can use schemaupdate instead.

We are all confused. Yes, you can "only drop" as an option. We had a feature request for a "not drop" switch some time ago, but I guess it never got implemented. Maybe you should have a look in JIRA and if you can't find it, open a new one.
