[Newbie to Hibernate] Don't want to create table

[John Curley]

Hi, All:

I am a newbie to Hibernate. I have already created the table and I don't
want Hibernate to keep trying to create it every time I instantiate the ORM
(object-relational mapper).

By default, it keeps trying to create a table it already created. What is
the xml setting to change this?

I have looked through the documentation but haven't found anything yet.
Also, looked for examples on web.

Thanks for your help.

Look for the property hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto.

"Automatically export schema DDL to the database when the
SessionFactory is created. With create-drop, the database schema will
be dropped when the SessionFactory is closed explicitely.
eg. update | create | create-drop "

I think that's it.
