Activiti 5.9 database exists still schema updates on startup

[amitsaini]

Hi,

I am using activiti 5.9. Using Oracle database for Activiti tables and have created the database tables using DDL script available in "activiti-engine-5.9.jar"

In "activit.cfg.xml", property "databaseSchemaUpdate" is set to true.

But confusion is why database schema updates happen automatically even when database tables already exist and are same as described in DDL for version 5.9.

Thanks,
Amit

When set to true, the property will check your table metadata and see if the tables are up to date. If they are, nothing will happen.
