need of schema export feature?

[yamini nadella]

In Hibernate quiqly book I read that Hibernate provides schema export feature to create a table in database. Actually we need to use ORM based on the database structure, Then why we have to use schema export?

You use the schema export feature if you're starting with Java objects and wish to generate the schema. It's also possible to generate Java objects from an existing schema.
