Hi,
when I use the new functionality in JPA 2.1 to generate the sql schema, a connection to the underlying database is required.

I have tried to set the property
hibernate.temp.use_jdbc_metadata_defaults=false
but it breaks at
UserSuppliedConnectionProviderImpl.getConnection()

I think that providing the database dialect should be enough to generate the schema, I should generate the schema for different databases and I would not install all of them.

Is there a way to skip the connection to the database when the sql schema is generated?

Thanks a lot for your attention.
Eugenio
