Interesting... I am not using either for anything complex lately,
preferring manual SQL scripts executed with dbpatch Ant task, so I am
a bit out of the loop.
So Tore, would you consider the merge package a logical superset of
DbGenerator (even though not all features are there yet)? Or is there
still non-overlapping pieces of functionality? I would also love to
have less redundancy and drop DbGenerator at a point when there is a
complete and more powerful replacement.

Hello.
There are still some things missing from the merge-package to be
able to create a complete database from scratch. Like the ability to
correctly order the tables that are to be created. However, I use
merging a lot more than generating.

Is the DbGenerator an anachronism as far as applications are

at this point?
E.g. I discovered that the AUTO_PK_SUPPORT is correctly added w/
MergeContext
whereas DbGenerator resets the counters to 200.
Perhaps the JavaDoc for DbGenerator should encourage use of
MergeContext?
