I deprecated it because I don't want SchemaExport to depend upon functionality that is available on so few platforms. However, SchemaUpdate probably *could* be allowed to use this. So I havn't removed it yet.....

(just wondering, coz' I would just assume dialects not supporting this would throw an UnsupportedOperation exception et.al.) /max ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ hibernate-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hibernate-devel ********************************************************************** Any personal or sensitive information contained in this email and attachments must be handled in accordance with the Victorian Information Privacy Act 2000, the Health Records Act 2001 or the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth), as applicable.
