My understanding of database design is that a database is used to organise the data..
so the upfront work of  define tables..columns and their relationships..DDL usually comes first
if a bunch of statements are thrown at the Database the database could conceivably cache  those statements and then 
create and or modify the schema?

you might want to consider an ORM (Object Relation Mapper) such as hibernate and specify lazy=true (load data only when needed)
http://www.coderanch.com/t/218722/Object-Relational-Mapping/java/fetching-lazy

more specifically you will want to control of when to create your schema entities are created via the
hbm2ddl.auto option which will turn on automatic generation of
                database schemas directly into the database.
