Hi all !
I'm in the process of deciding which of the OR mapping tools to use. Currently I'm deciding between Hibernate, TopLink and Apache OJB.
What I need to know is if Hibernate already has functionality/3rd party tools, whatever, to automatically generate DDL files based on the changes in the model, to keep the customers database synchronized with model.
Example:
We release a product using Hibernate. Then after few weeks we add new classes and attributes, remove some classes. When we want to publish these changes, changes in customers database are required and an appropriate DDL must be created. Can Hibernate somehow assist in doing this or must one do it by hand.
Thank you very much !
