like the idea of applying it automatically, though if we generate it, we
could easily provide a tool or command to apply the generated DDL.
Still, that reflects my development style as much as anything. If people
feel that it's valuable to support automatic creating and/or deleting,
that's OK, I just feel strongly that we should not make that the default
behavior.
I saw that the SunONE deployer has a command line option -generateSQL
which I think is just for that. I assume it generates the SQLs to be run
by a DBA. I wish we could have it, too. We could also have an option to
configure if the schema should be altered or recreated or anything one
could think of. At the very first, having SQLs generated is what I think
developers would love.
I've reported it as http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-710
