[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-6384) hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create does not drop tables

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6384?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=43261#comment-43261 ] 

Alexandre Gattiker commented on HHH-6384:
-----------------------------------------

No: "With create-drop, the database schema will be dropped when the SessionFactory is closed explicitly."

The behaviour of "create" up to 3.6.0 was to drop tables if they already existed, before creating them.

> Setting <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create" /> does not drop tables previous to creating them. That was the behavior up to at least 3.6.0 and was extremely useful for test cases.
> To reproduce, run attached test case twice.
