Hibernate auto create database

Question

I have a Java EE Hibernate project, and I\'m using MySQL as a database.

I want that when I first time run the project, it will create the database automatically.

Answer 1

There are multiple option for auto property.

1. create - It creates new tables corresponding mapping or annotation. It drops existing tables and data.
2. update - It keeps existing data and tables. It updates schema. here we have to take care contrants.
3. create-drop - It is same like create but once session gets closed it drops everything.

4. validate - it validates or matches schema with map or annotation. It's valid for Production environment.

   
   update
   

I hope it helps.
