[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HBX-1159) hbm2ddl outputfiles should be comparables

hbm2ddl outputfiles should be comparables ----------------------------------------- Key: HBX-1159 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-1159 Project: Hibernate Tools Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.2.0.GA 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) ); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
