[postgis-users] Hibernate with PostGIS

[Sandeep Kumar Jakkaraju]

Hello Jan ..

Thanks for ur reply .. u r right i am newbie in Hibernate and Spring !!

I thought that creating table schema automatically is a GOOD feature of
Hibernate ..

For example:-

If your application is using some tables .. u create those tables in your db
..
but when u want to use some other db ..u have to send all the sql scripts
with schema.. and some has to run it ...to create the table schemas...
But If you u r using hibernate ...there is no need for this ..because it
automatically creates the table schemas ..

Please correct do me ..if my argument is wrong ..

With Hibernate-PostGIS .. it is not able to create the Geometry column
automatically .. i thought it was BUG which needed attention .. so i posted
it ...

I have no other problem with using Hibernate with postgis ....

I really appreciate  ur other suggestions as well..

Thanks
Regards
Sandeep
