Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

Hi,

I've encountered a number of tools which will create Java classes from database tables (e.g. JDeveloper has this functionality, Abator provides this for iBATIS, etc...).

However, I've not been able to locate any tools that perform the opposite job - i.e. given a Java class, it generates a database table (or, presumably, some SQL).

It's been suggested to me that Hibernate might provide this sort of capability, but if anybody has any experience of doing this, in any tool, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Thanks,


Alistair.
