Stephen, there are 2 things that need to be done:
1. create a tool that walks through the jdo-config and mapping files and create table scripts for the configured database. scrpits differ between different databases (e.g. mysql is different then oracle). 2. add some additional informations to mapping about the coulmn type and maybe database constraints. It's simple but will require quite some time to implement. I think with the planned refactoring of SQL generation we should also take care to include this featur.
