 Post subject: Auto SchemaUpdate Question

Hello All,

Short Version:

Does SchemaUpdate work with MS SQL Server?


Long Version:

I use three database servers
  1. Oracle 9i
  2. MySQL
  3. MS SQL Server


I've had limited success in getting SchemaUpdate to work with MySQL and no success getting it to work with MS SQL Server. I spent quite some time trying to debug it with MS SQL Server and then I realized that SchemaUpdate might not even work with SQL server.

Is there a master list somewhere that says what SchemaUpdate works with?

Thanks!

To be honest, no-one is really maintaining this tool. So unless someone takes on responsibility for it, I can't really guarantee it will work anywhere.

What do you recommend?

I can code in the create table statements and use the java.sql.Statement class to run the "execute" method. The problem with that is that I am creating the tables outside of hibernate...

Is there a better way?

(essentially, I am programming a web app and I have been doing the development on a mysql database server. I am at the point where I am going to hand off the application to another party and I was trying to make deployment as easy as possible... So I was thinking of how to automatically create the tables.)

Thanks!

You can automatically _create_ the tables with schemaExport. But updating the table structure with SchemaUpdate is highly unsuported.

I finally got schemaExport to work...


Here is the problem I was having...

I was creating a User table and MS SQL Server was choking with this error...

Code:
[main] ERROR net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport - Unsuccessful: create table User (id VARCHAR(27) not null, username VARCHAR(255) null, firstName VARCHAR(255) null, middleName VARCHAR(255) null, lastName VARCHAR(255) null, email VARCHAR(255) null, passwordHint VARCHAR(255) null, primary key (id))
[main] ERROR net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport - [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'User'.


I couldn't figure it out until I changed the table name. Is that because 'User' is a reserved word for Microsoft SQL Server?

Thanks!

You can use table="`user`" to force Hibernate to use quoted identifiers.
