title: Is it possible to have Hibernate ignore the Schema Validation column type mismatch error
body: <p>I'm updating the db that my application is using. The older schema used short a lot for things like id's etc, but the new schema has updated all these to int.
  Using a feature toggle for these mappings is next to near impossible with the code base that I have. And I would like to write the code to be able to use both the legacy db and the new one for testing purposes.
  Can I switch off the Schema wrong column type exception in Hibernate and just allow short in the db to be mapped to int in the code?</p>
  
  <pre><code>SchemaManagementException: Schema-validation: wrong column type encountered in 
  column [AddressTypeID] in table [dbo.AddressType]; found [smallint 
  (Types#SMALLINT)], but expecting [int (Types#INTEGER)
  </code></pre>
