Automated database table creation via Jenkins
<p>I have setup Jenkins to automatically build my Maven project. I would like to extend the same to automatically create database tables if they dont exist. Can this be done via jenkins? i.e. Can the Jenkins job be modified to have an additional pre-build step of creating database tables? If so, can anyone give me any pointers as to how to do this?
if this is not possible directly in Jenkins, can this be done via Maven? i.e. modify the Maven build to create the tables before compiling the code.</p>

<p>Any help will be useful. Thanks in advance!</p>
