Don't worry. The jdbc target just read an existing db schema and writes to schema.xml. It won't harm your database. I use it almost everyday. But be aware if you are going to use the generated schema.xml to create a db schema (by using ant sql followed by ant insert-sql), you might need to manually tweak schema.xml a little bit. For example, it does not generates non-PK unique constrains.

I have not been able to locate any other mention, nor any documentation on this function. Is there any? Has anyone used it? One of the things that worries me is wiping out my existing database by not understanding the subtleties of using Torque. Is this a legitimate concern? Which actions can drop tables or databases? Do you get the chance to approve or cancel before it happens?
