Re: [hibernate-dev] SchemaManagementTool / Exportable
+1 for the externalization. We actually have a custom schema-export tool
for hibernate 4.1 that plugs in with how we configure data sources in
spring much better than the provided tool.

internally.
But one thing I wanted to discuss was to change up how Exportable works.
Today, its really not much different than what we used to do. The
database objects themselves know how to render themselves into SQL
CREATE/DROP/ALTER commands. What I am contemplating is externalizing
this rendering (lets call them ExportableRenderer, thought better names
welcome). This would serve 2 useful purposes:
1) Clean up the Table, Sequence, etc code clutter.
2) Allow plugging in alternate renderings for things. This could be
dialects or users or event custom SchemaManagementTool supplied.
WDYT?
