[Hibernate-devel] updating db schema

[Christoph S. <ch...@sc...>]

Hi All!

A really great feature would be if Hibernate detected if a table already
exists, and what columns it has, and just executes some alter table
commands instead of dropping and recreating the table. Does Anyone have
an idea how this could be implemented easily? It would be great if I
could just deploy a new web-app with a new mapping, and the database
schema is changed automatically.
