My persistence.xml looks like below <persistence-unit name="titan" transaction-type="JTA">            <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>            <jta-data-source>java:PostgresDS</jta-data-source>            <class>com.domain.Cabin</class>            <class>com.domain.Customer</class>            <class>com.domain.Address</class>           <properties>                     <property name="hibernate.dialect" value=  "org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect" />                      <property name="*hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto*" value="*update*" />                      <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />                      <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="false" />                      <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>                      <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/Entity"/>                      <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="*****"/>                      <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="****"/>       </properties> </persistence-unit> I have table Cabin, Customer and Address under my table Entity. When i deploy my jar and start the server , again a new table is created  as cabin, customer and address. :0 I thought with value = "update"  for  hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto, it should not create any table and should only update the data. When i deleted the table from DB, then there was no table found message when the jboss is up. I don't want to duplicate the tables. What could be the issue ? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/620678#620678] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
