Hiberante annotations

Is Hibernate will create schema also? Say I am writing one POJO class TEST and there is no table with name "TEST".
The following will create Table "TEST" in DB?
@Entity
public class Test {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
long id;
private String chin ;
private String emr ;

public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}

public long getId() {
return id ;
}

public void setChin(String chin) {
this.chin = chin;
}

public String getChin () {
return chin;
}

public void setEmr(String emr) {
this.emr = emr;
}

public String getEmr () {
return emr;
}

}

Hibernate can generate DDL. See the configuration options for hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto.

Add the following line in your hibernate.cfg.xml and execute your application:
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>

But the disadvantage of this property is it will create schema every time whenever you restart your application. You will be lost your stored data. If you don't want to use this property then just change it to:
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">none</property>

Bhagat, are you aware this configuration option accepts a value of "update" too?

Yes Paul here is the list:

validate | update | create | create-drop

I know why are you asking this question because I am using none in my above example
