Re: [eclipselink-users] Using EclipseLink to verify tables existence

[Shaun Smith <shaun.smith@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The Dali Java Persistence Tools project does compare the classes in a persistence unit with a target schema and reports inconsistencies.  Dali is a JPA design time tool but it should be possible to leverage Dali functionality to build a tool that simply reports the information you're looking for.   Dali also supports advanced EclipseLink mappings and configuration validation.

I suggest posting about this on the Dali newsgroup: http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.technology.dali

Hi,

I have a database which is accessed by old client/server apps besides
JPA/EclipseLink. My JPA app can't update database schema. How can I use
EclipseLink to just report schema inconsistences with my entities? I want to
write an app that reports a system administrator tables and columns missing.

Any ideas?
