It took me some time this morning, when migrating an old hibernate project to hibernate 2.1.6, to understand why my schemaupdate task did not work any more : it output correct sql statements to console, but database was unchanged. Going to the documentation in the quick reference, I found nothing about it. It was finally by reading the source code that I noticed that the task take a text parameter, true by default, which when set to true do not update the database. I think it would be helpful to update the quick reference to indicate this, all the more I think that it was not the case in previous version.

Use the reference documentation.

Hi,

I am having the same exact problem (I think). I am running schemaupdate from Ant and It appears to be updating the database... it even gets the connection pool and all of that, but when I inspect the database, there were no changes made. I looked in the documentation for what you are referring to and I can't find it. It seems like there are only options for "quiet" and "properties":

Any advice? Thanks!
