Sure, I know that the DDL is specific to each database. I guess I
didn't fully describe my complaint. I didn't like the fact that I
had to fully change the doclet tags when switching from one database
to another, rather an just send an argument.
Last year I began using XDoclet for the generation of the mapping
descriptor. Unfortunately it doesn't generate DDL... yet ;-)
