hibernate creating duplicate columns automatically

Question

I have started learning HQL recently and tried to create a test application to see how it works.. but when i'm trying to run the project, i see duplicate columns are getting created with NULL value in it.

Here are my project details

I have a table (insurance) with this structure {id,insurance_name,invested_amount,investment_date} which i have create it.

and when i run the application it is creating two additional columns with null values {id,insurance_name,invested_amount,investment_date,INSURANCE_AMOUNT,INSURANCE_DATE } and i dont know from where they were getting created.

hibernate configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

    }catch(Exception e){

    }finally{
        session.flush();
        session.close();

    }

}

Answer 1

you shoudd skip property hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto from you config file(which means default value and it means no validation, update, creation or dropping takes place when omitting this setting ) or use validate if you don't want any update in your DB

please see Hibernate hbm2ddl.auto, possible values and what they do - any official explanation? to know about possible values of 'hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto'
