I wish to pass to Hibernate's SessionFactory
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update
and see in log file generated sql statements. Is it possible w/o java coding (know how to achieve the result with SchemaExport, but hope that hibernate has "in box" solution)
You could setup logging to System.out using
SessionFactory sf = new Configuration().setProperty("hibernate.show_sql", "true")
or log4j
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG, SQL_APPENDER
log4j.additivity.org.hibernate.SQL=false
EDIT: This maybe also helpful Hibernate sql logging with values
