hi all!
I am trying to find an api which can construct a database schema during the running of an application. In general, the user will define the structure of the new database (completely from the scratch). When the user click a button the code will generate the database. Do you know if hibernate is capable to do this task?

I visited the torque, apache project, but I realized that the database schema is created by the ant make tool. I dont want to use an external program to create the db just only something like that....



So I just want an open source api which can create a database with a particular schema that is given from a xml file.

thank you in advance, kostas

I want to get yours too.

Have you tried loading the Ant task class as a library and calling its methods programatically? The Ant front end is just a driver, if Ant can use the Hibernate export Ant Task, so should you.
