<title>Auxiliary Database Objects</title>
<para>
Allows CREATE and DROP of arbitrary database objects, in conjunction with
Hibernate's schema evolution tools, to provide the ability to fully define
a user schema within the Hibernate mapping files. Although designed specifically
for creating and dropping things like triggers or stored procedures, really any
SQL command that can be run via a <literal>java.sql.Statement.execute()</literal>
method is valid here (ALTERs, INSERTS, etc). There are essentially two modes for
defining auxiliary database objects...
</para>
<para>
The first mode is to explicitly list the CREATE and DROP commands out in the mapping
file:
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
...
<database-object>
<create>CREATE TRIGGER my_trigger ...</create>
<drop>DROP TRIGGER my_trigger</drop>
</database-object>
</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting>
<para>
The second mode is to supply a custom class which knows how to construct the
CREATE and DROP commands. This custom class must implement the
<literal>org.hibernate.mapping.AuxiliaryDatabaseObject</literal> interface.
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
...
<database-object>
<definition class="MyTriggerDefinition"/>
</database-object>
</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting>
<para>
Additionally, these database objects can be optionally scoped such that they only
apply when certain dialects are used.
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
...
<database-object>
<definition class="MyTriggerDefinition"/>
<dialect-scope name="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect"/>
<dialect-scope name="org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect"/>
</database-object>
</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting>
