Likely you are not forced to use Hibernate to create/update database schema. I assume you have something like this in your configuration:
Just change value to “validate”, perform changes to the mappings and execute ALTER TABLE statements separately.
Other option is to use “update” to let Hibernate figure out how to update your table structure. I suggest to keep it in your hands and just execute DDL SQL manually.
