Its used if you want Hibernate to produce and run DDL.

Hi,
Hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto is a property which you can set in hibernate configuration. This will run DDL for the Database. The values for this property are
validate | update | create | create-drop


Validate = will validate the schema that you have, and makes no changes to the database.
Update = will update the database if the schema is already there in the database.
Create = will create new database, removing existing schema if any
Create-drop = will create new database and drops it when the sessionFactory is destroyed.
