Hi, I've created https://github.com/txtr/hibernate-delta because I couldn't find a solution that would generate SQL update statements based on the fields that I added to my @Entity. The trick is that it stores the schema in an XML file that is commited to git. That way, you only get the differences you introduced. It can also find the differences between your XML schema and the actual database (using liquibase). Now the questions 1. Is this something that already exists? 2. Is somebody interested in growing this from the current setup (tested with Oracle only)? 3. Would this maybe even a candidate to include in hibernate tools? -- Gregor Zeitlinger gregor.zeitlinger(a)txtr.com
