How to turn off hbm2ddl?

I couldn't find a reference on how to switch hbm2ddl off.

Solution

  • Just omitting hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto defaults to Hibernate not doing anything. From the reference documentation:

    1.1.4. Hibernate configuration

    The hbm2ddl.auto option turns on automatic generation of database schemas directly into the database. This can also be turned off by removing the configuration option, or redirected to a file with the help of the SchemaExport Ant task.

    Setting hbm2ddl.auto to none (undocumented) might generate a warning, such as: org.hibernate.cfg.SettingsFactory - Unrecognized value for "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto": none
