Can MyBatis create a database schema?

Question

Does MyBatis have any way to allow the creation of an SQL schema from a class model, such as Hibernate?

I search this on Google and I found information about MyBatis Generator ( http://mybatis.imtqy.com/generator/ ). This tool is apparently useful for generating a Java model from an SQL schema, which is exactly the opposite.

I'm afraid not. For this you need ORM, and MyBatis is not ORM.

Using an ORM solution (for example, Hibernate) you map tables to entities. An entity is a table representation (object) (relational) and contains all the metadata (getters / setters, annotations, etc.) needed to create the table.

MyBatis does not map objects to tables; it maps methods to SQL statements. It is not possible to determine from the methods or SQL statements what the database structure should be. When you use MyBatis, tables must already exist.
