That division of labor seems more than a tad brain-dead anyway;
who's to say that the appropriate dialect-specific command is an
ALTER TABLE at all? It would be better if the dialect-specific
code were responsible for emitting the entire command --- in which
case it would have the tablename too and could do the Right Thing.
So I'd suggest filing a bug/enhancement request against Hibernate.
