I am using Spring + MySQL and Hibernate in my application. I wanted to start using Envers as an audit log, but as I understand, in order to use it I must enable Hibernate to create DDL.
Is there a way to use Envers without letting Hibernate create DDL, or even better, create DDL only for Envers tables?
If not, is there a way to tell Hibernate to export the DDL to a file instead of the DB so I can take only what I need?
