Hello,

can hibernate create the database(MySQL) not the table. I know hibernate create the tables, but can it create the database(schema) too?

Thanks

Hibernate can create the schema (= the definition of tables, constraints, indexes ...)
But Hibernate cannot create the database instance itself for you.
That means for instance, if specify a hibernate connection url:

then you already must can sucessfully access the database mydbname with using this url for example with SQuirrel

Indeed. And I think in MySQL, the creation of the database instance requires you to issue the command that 'creates a schema.' Confusing. :(
