Cannot create new columns in database using @column

Question

I'm working in a task that demands to create a new status to my class and so I need to insert a new column in the database table. I tried to use this in my TO file:

@Column(name="nameOfNewColumn")
private Boolean nameOfNewColumn;

I also included the set and get methods, but it just doesn't work, I open the table with Postgres and it doesn't appear. I reseted the server, reconnected the data base, but nothing happens. I'm using eclipse oxygen and PgAdmin 4.

I believe that it must be a simple problem, but I couldn't find anything on the web (maybe I don't know which words to use xD). I'd appreciate any kind of help! :)

Answer 1

Some data is missing - Do you use hibernate/ flyWay/ liquiBase ?

you can for example add

hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update

to adjust the schema automatically

(or the relevant syntax at flyWay (sql) / liquiBase (xml)) .
