Noob error :org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not insert [com.sample.Person]

[Vic Hood]

I'm trying to set up a small working sample of Hibernate that I found here.
However when I run the code I get the follwing error
.

  Exception in thread "main" org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not insert: [com.sample.Person]

But I already have a table by the name person in the database and here's my hibernate.cfg.xml

It would be great if anyone could point out what Im doing wrong, as this is my first attempt at Hibernate.
Thanks!

UPDATE: Was able to fix that error. However I get the following error now

Hibernate: insert into person (NAME, SURNAME, ADDRESS) values (?, ?, ?)
Hibernate: select person0_.ID as ID0_, person0_.NAME as NAME0_, person0_.SURNAME as SURNAME0_, person0_.ADDRESS as ADDRESS0_ from person person0_

What I dont understand is why is hibernate looking at person0_ instead of person, any input on this could be helpful. Thanks!
