Updating your jpa properties will generate the scripts for you.

            drop-and-create
            ./create_mssql.sql
            ./drop_mssql.sql

This will generate the scripts in the given location. There are other properties as well which can be used on various use-cases, please refer here

The whole configuration will look like this

  
    Forge Persistence Unit
    org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence
    java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS
    false
