sorry abt that n il make sure my codings are well formatted here after.. NO , the table doesnt exist.I didnt create the table. but dont the code above create the table named as bookbank ?? ( i thought the code itself will create the table in first place ) . ( The databse b04042 is there ) or else do i have to create the table seperately and only the insertion part is done by the code ? if this doesnt create the table , then how did i run the previous example with HSQL successfully ? how can i create a table from an EJB entity ? thks Saji View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4137832#...
