Dave would be proud.... you'd done something *pragmatic* after all :)

The generator has done a great job for me (caveat: I've only got a
couple of unit tests thus far as I iron out the process a bit before
going full on). The beauty of it is that I do not have any
intermediate .sql files - which is vastly different than a Hibernate/
DBUnit expert pal of mine told me of his unit testing trickery. He
used some type of schema export tool and then read in the .sql line
by line and executed. Internally this is what the generator is
doing, of course, but its encapsulated with nothing in the middle.
My workflow is now entirely driven from the Cayenne model, and I'm
extremely pleased! If XDoclet had been in the equation (and I'm a
committer on that project :O) it would have driven me far far away!
