        1. Hibernate should not update database schemas

           Bug

        Hibernate should not update database schemas

        consistency - conventional
        reliability
        Bug
        • hibernate
        • sql

        Why is this an issue?

        The use of any value but "validate" for hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto may cause the database schema used by your application to be changed, dropped, or cleaned of all data. In short, the use of this property is risky, and should only be used in production with the "validate" option, if it is used at all.

        Noncompliant code example

        <session-factory>
          <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>  <!-- Noncompliant -->
        </session-factory>
        

        Compliant solution

        <session-factory>
          <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">validate</property>  <!-- Compliant -->
        </session-factory>
        

        or

        <session-factory>
          <!-- Property deleted -->
        </session-factory>
