[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-4867) hbm2ddl outputfiles should be comparables

hbm2ddl outputfiles should be comparables ----------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4867 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4867 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core, metamodel Affects Versions: 3.3.2 Reporter: Maillefer Jean-David Priority: Minor It would be very helpful if hbm2ddl could generate comparable output files. By comparable, I mean that using a diff tool, the order of the generated SQL elements should be the same. It's already the case for columns. But it's missing for foreign-keys: each time hbm2ddl is run, their respective order is changed, thus making the use of diff tools nearly useless. Sample code (for postgresql): We can see that the order of primary-key fields membre_id and principal_id has changed, but the structure is the same ! Run 1: create table AdhesionId ( id serial not null, modification timestamp not null, version int4, membre_id int4 not null, principal_id int4 not null, primary key (id) ); Run 2 (after a modification to a field in another class): create table AdhesionId ( id serial not null, modification timestamp not null, version int4, principal_id int4 not null, membre_id int4 not null, primary key (id) );
