I need to to capture events like create table using entity in hibernate. My application dynamically creates tables and need to audit these [events.Is](http://events.Is) there any listener available for capturing the DDL statements?

Hibernate has Event listeners for [entity state transitions](https://vladmihalcea.com/a-beginners-guide-to-jpa-hibernate-entity-state-transitions/), not DDL structure.

It’s not even possible to change the DB schema dynamically without rebuilding the `EntityManagerFactory`.

For your use case, [you are better off using Debezium.](https://vladmihalcea.com/how-to-extract-change-data-events-from-mysql-to-kafka-using-debezium/)

Hibernate does not have anything for that. You will have to use something else.
