@ Vlad Mihalcea: I upgraded to Hibernate 5.3.1-final but schema update on MS-SQL-Server with hyphen in database name still does not work:
[org.hibernate.tool.schema.spi.CommandAcceptanceException: Error executing DDL "alter table serie-m.paul.MOMS_SPLIT_DOC add TYPE_STRING varchar(32)" via JDBC Statement]
at org.hibernate.tool.schema.internal.exec.GenerationTargetToDatabase.accept(GenerationTargetToDatabase.java:67)
Caused by: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Falsche Syntax in der Nähe von '-'.
