Update column name for existing Entity class using Hibernate Annotation

Question

I have one column in my Entity Class like :

@Column(name = "createdBy", nullable = false)

private String createdBy;

Later i need to update column name.

Is there any way to update the column name using hibernate annotation which will not generate new column.

I want to update the name of column using hibernate annotation. — Piyush Desai

Probably you could just rename column in your database and then change annotation value. — Anar Sultanov

hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update should do the Job if my understanding is correct — Jens

@AnarSultanov any other way except like : ALTER TABLE "table_name" Change "column 1" "column 2" ["Data Type"]; — Piyush Desai

Nope. You should use annotation and SQL script to modify table.
