A second question: according to hibernate.cfg.xml, database objects (tables) will be created automatically, at least for some databases. Is this database-dependent; that is, do some databases require the tables to be manually created? If so, where can i obtain the .sql files which define the xwiki data model? i was quite surprised to find no .sql files in the .jar i downloaded.
