Ok, so this is the crux then because it really comes down to whether you
believe whether it is valid to *only* export the annotation-based
validations as DDL.
And keep in mind that this code is basically unchanged from all the way
back to the initial "integrations" with HV. So back then the
thought-process (not mine, btw) was that yes, that *is* valid - hence the
option to chose just DDL as an option.
But if thats now no longer valid then that changes things.

From your writings, I suspect I'm the only one with this opinion but my
answer would be: "not if you use Bean Validation annotations".
If you use BV's @NotNull, you expect BV to validate the input. And you
might want additional DDL in your database to be on the safe side (which
should be the default IMHO).
