title: hibernate creating empty table - hibernate_sequence at startup
body: <p>So I just downloaded hibernate 5.0.0.1, and I tried my project to it, which is previously using hibernate 4.3.</p>
  
  <p>When I insert to the database, it gives me this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ERROR: could not read a hi value - you need to populate the table: hibernate_sequence</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am using mysql, and my generation strategy is set at GenerationType.auto, and it seems that now hibernate thinks using sequences is the best strategy for generating  values. But the table is empty. I think hibernate is atempting to get a value from the sequence but can't find any. But I'm confused because the hibernate_sequence is created by hibernate, shouldn't it provide an initial value?</p>
