Hi Marc,

Yes I agree to your point. In that case, the only problem we have is, there
is no way to ignore table structure of the database, if we chose
'structure' or 'structure and data'. For that we should have an option like
'Ignore table structure' under 'Object creation options'. What do you think
?
