Adding columns dynamically

[sriram sankar]

If an application has

First Name
Last Name
Country

And in future if someone wants to have zip code. I think use hibernate alter table functionality to add columns will be efficient way of doing it.

Does anyone managed these kinds of functionality in your products without an ORM solution?

I mean hibernate or any ORM solution...

The alternative is to run the SQL to add the column yourself.
