[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-22071) JDBCMetaDataConfiguration should allow fetching of table names only

JDBCMetaDataConfiguration should allow fetching of table names only ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-22071 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-22071 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: hibernate Environment: Hibernate Tools 4.3.1.Final ({{org.hibernate:hibernate-tools:4.3.1.Final}}) Reporter: George Gastaldi Assignee: Koen Aers Fix For: 4.4.0.Alpha3 I have a MySQL DB containing 40 tables. When I call {{org.hibernate.cfg.JDBCMetaDataConfiguration.readFromJDBC()}} it takes a considerably amount of time (minutes) when all I need are the table names. It seems that this method reads the entire mapping structure for all tables. This is where I am using it: https://github.com/forge/core/blob/master/database-tools/impl/src/main/ja.... The {{HibernateToolsHelper}} class calls {{JDBCMetaDataConfiguration.readFromJDBC()}} here: https://github.com/forge/core/blob/master/database-tools/impl/src/main/ja... Can we improve this class to return only the table names and avoid this extra amount of work?
