Advanced Configuration
======================
The configuration of the EntityManager requires a
``Doctrine\ORM\Configuration`` instance as well as some database
connection parameters. This example shows all the potential
steps of configuration.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager,
Doctrine\ORM\Configuration;
// ...
if ($applicationMode == "development") {
$cache = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache;
} else {
$cache = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache;
}
$config = new Configuration;
$config->setMetadataCacheImpl($cache);
$driverImpl = $config->newDefaultAnnotationDriver('/path/to/lib/MyProject/Entities');
$config->setMetadataDriverImpl($driverImpl);
$config->setQueryCacheImpl($cache);
$config->setProxyDir('/path/to/myproject/lib/MyProject/Proxies');
$config->setProxyNamespace('MyProject\Proxies');
if ($applicationMode == "development") {
$config->setAutoGenerateProxyClasses(true);
} else {
$config->setAutoGenerateProxyClasses(false);
}
$connectionOptions = array(
'driver' => 'pdo_sqlite',
'path' => 'database.sqlite'
);
$em = EntityManager::create($connectionOptions, $config);
.. note::
Do not use Doctrine without a metadata and query cache!
Doctrine is optimized for working with caches. The main
parts in Doctrine that are optimized for caching are the metadata
mapping information with the metadata cache and the DQL to SQL
conversions with the query cache. These 2 caches require only an
absolute minimum of memory yet they heavily improve the runtime
performance of Doctrine. The recommended cache driver to use with
Doctrine is `APC <http://www.php.net/apc>`_. APC provides you with
an opcode-cache (which is highly recommended anyway) and a very
fast in-memory cache storage that you can use for the metadata and
query caches as seen in the previous code snippet.
Configuration Options
---------------------
The following sections describe all the configuration options
available on a ``Doctrine\ORM\Configuration`` instance.
Proxy Directory (***REQUIRED***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setProxyDir($dir);
$config->getProxyDir();
Gets or sets the directory where Doctrine generates any proxy
classes. For a detailed explanation on proxy classes and how they
are used in Doctrine, refer to the "Proxy Objects" section further
down.
Proxy Namespace (***REQUIRED***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setProxyNamespace($namespace);
$config->getProxyNamespace();
Gets or sets the namespace to use for generated proxy classes. For
a detailed explanation on proxy classes and how they are used in
Doctrine, refer to the "Proxy Objects" section further down.
Metadata Driver (***REQUIRED***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setMetadataDriverImpl($driver);
$config->getMetadataDriverImpl();
Gets or sets the metadata driver implementation that is used by
Doctrine to acquire the object-relational metadata for your
classes.
There are currently 4 available implementations:
- ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\AnnotationDriver``
- ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\XmlDriver``
- ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\YamlDriver``
- ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\DriverChain``
Throughout the most part of this manual the AnnotationDriver is
used in the examples. For information on the usage of the XmlDriver
or YamlDriver please refer to the dedicated chapters
``XML Mapping`` and ``YAML Mapping``.
The annotation driver can be configured with a factory method on
the ``Doctrine\ORM\Configuration``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$driverImpl = $config->newDefaultAnnotationDriver('/path/to/lib/MyProject/Entities');
$config->setMetadataDriverImpl($driverImpl);
The path information to the entities is required for the annotation
driver, because otherwise mass-operations on all entities through
the console could not work correctly. All of metadata drivers
accept either a single directory as a string or an array of
directories. With this feature a single driver can support multiple
directories of Entities.
Metadata Cache (***RECOMMENDED***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setMetadataCacheImpl($cache);
$config->getMetadataCacheImpl();
Gets or sets the cache implementation to use for caching metadata
information, that is, all the information you supply via
annotations, xml or yaml, so that they do not need to be parsed and
loaded from scratch on every single request which is a waste of
resources. The cache implementation must implement the
``Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache`` interface.
Usage of a metadata cache is highly recommended.
The recommended implementations for production are:
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcuCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\MemcacheCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\XcacheCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\RedisCache``
For development you should use the
``Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache`` which only caches data on a
per-request basis.
Query Cache (***RECOMMENDED***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setQueryCacheImpl($cache);
$config->getQueryCacheImpl();
Gets or sets the cache implementation to use for caching DQL
queries, that is, the result of a DQL parsing process that includes
the final SQL as well as meta information about how to process the
SQL result set of a query. Note that the query cache does not
affect query results. You do not get stale data. This is a pure
optimization cache without any negative side-effects (except some
minimal memory usage in your cache).
Usage of a query cache is highly recommended.
The recommended implementations for production are:
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcuCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\MemcacheCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\XcacheCache``
- ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\RedisCache``
For development you should use the
``Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache`` which only caches data on a
per-request basis.
SQL Logger (***Optional***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setSQLLogger($logger);
$config->getSQLLogger();
Gets or sets the logger to use for logging all SQL statements
executed by Doctrine. The logger class must implement the
``Doctrine\DBAL\Logging\SQLLogger`` interface. A simple default
implementation that logs to the standard output using ``echo`` and
``var_dump`` can be found at
``Doctrine\DBAL\Logging\EchoSQLLogger``.
Auto-generating Proxy Classes (***OPTIONAL***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proxy classes can either be generated manually through the Doctrine
Console or automatically at runtime by Doctrine. The configuration
option that controls this behavior is:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setAutoGenerateProxyClasses($mode);
Possible values for ``$mode`` are:
- ``Doctrine\Common\Proxy\AbstractProxyFactory::AUTOGENERATE_NEVER``
Never autogenerate a proxy. You will need to generate the proxies
manually, for this use the Doctrine Console like so:
.. code-block:: php
$ ./doctrine orm:generate-proxies
When you do this in a development environment,
be aware that you may get class/file not found errors if certain proxies
are not yet generated. You may also get failing lazy-loads if new
methods were added to the entity class that are not yet in the proxy class.
In such a case, simply use the Doctrine Console to (re)generate the
proxy classes.
- ``Doctrine\Common\Proxy\AbstractProxyFactory::AUTOGENERATE_ALWAYS``
Always generates a new proxy in every request and writes it to disk.
- ``Doctrine\Common\Proxy\AbstractProxyFactory::AUTOGENERATE_FILE_NOT_EXISTS``
Generate the proxy class when the proxy file does not exist.
This strategy causes a file exists call whenever any proxy is
used the first time in a request.
- ``Doctrine\Common\Proxy\AbstractProxyFactory::AUTOGENERATE_EVAL``
Generate the proxy classes and evaluate them on the fly via eval(),
avoiding writing the proxies to disk.
This strategy is only sane for development.
In a production environment, it is highly recommended to use
AUTOGENERATE_NEVER to allow for optimal performances. The other
options are interesting in development environment.
Before v2.4, ``setAutoGenerateProxyClasses`` would accept a boolean
value. This is still possible, ``FALSE`` being equivalent to
AUTOGENERATE_NEVER and ``TRUE`` to AUTOGENERATE_ALWAYS.
Development vs Production Configuration
---------------------------------------
You should code your Doctrine2 bootstrapping with two different
runtime models in mind. There are some serious benefits of using
APC or Memcache in production. In development however this will
frequently give you fatal errors, when you change your entities and
the cache still keeps the outdated metadata. That is why we
recommend the ``ArrayCache`` for development.
Furthermore you should have the Auto-generating Proxy Classes
option to true in development and to false in production. If this
option is set to ``TRUE`` it can seriously hurt your script
performance if several proxy classes are re-generated during script
execution. Filesystem calls of that magnitude can even slower than
all the database queries Doctrine issues. Additionally writing a
proxy sets an exclusive file lock which can cause serious
performance bottlenecks in systems with regular concurrent
requests.
Connection Options
------------------
The ``$connectionOptions`` passed as the first argument to
``EntityManager::create()`` has to be either an array or an
instance of ``Doctrine\DBAL\Connection``. If an array is passed it
is directly passed along to the DBAL Factory
``Doctrine\DBAL\DriverManager::getConnection()``. The DBAL
configuration is explained in the
`DBAL section <https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/current/reference/configuration.html>`_.
Proxy Objects
-------------
A proxy object is an object that is put in place or used instead of
the "real" object. A proxy object can add behavior to the object
being proxied without that object being aware of it. In Doctrine 2,
proxy objects are used to realize several features but mainly for
transparent lazy-loading.
Proxy objects with their lazy-loading facilities help to keep the
subset of objects that are already in memory connected to the rest
of the objects. This is an essential property as without it there
would always be fragile partial objects at the outer edges of your
object graph.
Doctrine 2 implements a variant of the proxy pattern where it
generates classes that extend your entity classes and adds
lazy-loading capabilities to them. Doctrine can then give you an
instance of such a proxy class whenever you request an object of
the class being proxied. This happens in two situations:
Reference Proxies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The method ``EntityManager#getReference($entityName, $identifier)``
lets you obtain a reference to an entity for which the identifier
is known, without loading that entity from the database. This is
useful, for example, as a performance enhancement, when you want to
establish an association to an entity for which you have the
identifier. You could simply do this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager, $cart instanceof MyProject\Model\Cart
// $itemId comes from somewhere, probably a request parameter
$item = $em->getReference('MyProject\Model\Item', $itemId);
$cart->addItem($item);
Here, we added an Item to a Cart without loading the Item from the
database. If you invoke any method on the Item instance, it would
fully initialize its state transparently from the database. Here
$item is actually an instance of the proxy class that was generated
for the Item class but your code does not need to care. In fact it
**should not care**. Proxy objects should be transparent to your
code.
Association proxies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The second most important situation where Doctrine uses proxy
objects is when querying for objects. Whenever you query for an
object that has a single-valued association to another object that
is configured LAZY, without joining that association in the same
query, Doctrine puts proxy objects in place where normally the
associated object would be. Just like other proxies it will
transparently initialize itself on first access.
.. note::
Joining an association in a DQL or native query
essentially means eager loading of that association in that query.
This will override the 'fetch' option specified in the mapping for
that association, but only for that query.
Generating Proxy classes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a production environment, it is highly recommended to use
``AUTOGENERATE_NEVER`` to allow for optimal performances.
However you will be required to generate the proxies manually
using the Doctrine Console:
.. code-block:: php
$ ./doctrine orm:generate-proxies
The other options are interesting in development environment:
- ``AUTOGENERATE_ALWAYS`` will require you to create and configure
a proxy directory. Proxies will be generated and written to file
on each request, so any modification to your code will be acknowledged.
- ``AUTOGENERATE_FILE_NOT_EXISTS`` will not overwrite an existing
proxy file. If your code changes, you will need to regenerate the
proxies manually.
- ``AUTOGENERATE_EVAL`` will regenerate each proxy on each request,
but without writing them to disk.
Autoloading Proxies
-------------------
When you deserialize proxy objects from the session or any other storage
it is necessary to have an autoloading mechanism in place for these classes.
For implementation reasons Proxy class names are not PSR-0 compliant. This
means that you have to register a special autoloader for these classes:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\Common\Proxy\Autoloader;
$proxyDir = "/path/to/proxies";
$proxyNamespace = "MyProxies";
Autoloader::register($proxyDir, $proxyNamespace);
If you want to execute additional logic to intercept the proxy file not found
state you can pass a closure as the third argument. It will be called with
the arguments proxydir, namespace and className when the proxy file could not
be found.
Multiple Metadata Sources
-------------------------
When using different components using Doctrine 2 you may end up
with them using two different metadata drivers, for example XML and
YAML. You can use the DriverChain Metadata implementations to
aggregate these drivers based on namespaces:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\DriverChain;
$chain = new DriverChain();
$chain->addDriver($xmlDriver, 'Doctrine\Tests\Models\Company');
$chain->addDriver($yamlDriver, 'Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Mapping');
Based on the namespace of the entity the loading of entities is
delegated to the appropriate driver. The chain semantics come from
the fact that the driver loops through all namespaces and matches
the entity class name against the namespace using a
``strpos() === 0`` call. This means you need to order the drivers
correctly if sub-namespaces use different metadata driver
implementations.
Default Repository (***OPTIONAL***)
-----------------------------------
Specifies the FQCN of a subclass of the EntityRepository.
That will be available for all entities without a custom repository class.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->setDefaultRepositoryClassName($fqcn);
$config->getDefaultRepositoryClassName();
The default value is ``Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository``.
Any repository class must be a subclass of EntityRepository otherwise you got an ORMException
Setting up the Console
----------------------
Doctrine uses the Symfony Console component for generating the command
line interface. You can take a look at the ``vendor/bin/doctrine.php``
script and the ``Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\ConsoleRunner`` command
for inspiration how to setup the cli.
In general the required code looks like this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cli = new Application('Doctrine Command Line Interface', \Doctrine\ORM\Version::VERSION);
$cli->setCatchExceptions(true);
$cli->setHelperSet($helperSet);
Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\ConsoleRunner::addCommands($cli);
$cli->run();

Architecture
============
This chapter gives an overview of the overall architecture,
terminology and constraints of Doctrine 2. It is recommended to
read this chapter carefully.
Using an Object-Relational Mapper
---------------------------------
As the term ORM already hints at, Doctrine 2 aims to simplify the
translation between database rows and the PHP object model. The
primary use case for Doctrine are therefore applications that
utilize the Object-Oriented Programming Paradigm. For applications
that do not primarily work with objects Doctrine 2 is not suited very
well.
Requirements
------------
Doctrine 2 requires a minimum of PHP 7.1. For greatly improved
performance it is also recommended that you use APC with PHP.
Doctrine 2 Packages
-------------------
Doctrine 2 is divided into three main packages.
- Common
- DBAL (includes Common)
- ORM (includes DBAL+Common)
This manual mainly covers the ORM package, sometimes touching parts
of the underlying DBAL and Common packages. The Doctrine code base
is split in to these packages for a few reasons and they are to...
- ...make things more maintainable and decoupled
- ...allow you to use the code in Doctrine Common without the ORM
or DBAL
- ...allow you to use the DBAL without the ORM
The Common Package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Common package contains highly reusable components that have no
dependencies beyond the package itself (and PHP, of course). The
root namespace of the Common package is ``Doctrine\Common``.
The DBAL Package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The DBAL package contains an enhanced database abstraction layer on
top of PDO but is not strongly bound to PDO. The purpose of this
layer is to provide a single API that bridges most of the
differences between the different RDBMS vendors. The root namespace
of the DBAL package is ``Doctrine\DBAL``.
The ORM Package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ORM package contains the object-relational mapping toolkit that
provides transparent relational persistence for plain PHP objects.
The root namespace of the ORM package is ``Doctrine\ORM``.
Terminology
-----------
Entities
~~~~~~~~
An entity is a lightweight, persistent domain object. An entity can
be any regular PHP class observing the following restrictions:
- An entity class must not be final or contain final methods.
- All persistent properties/field of any entity class should
always be private or protected, otherwise lazy-loading might not
work as expected. In case you serialize entities (for example Session)
properties should be protected (See Serialize section below).
- An entity class must not implement ``__clone`` or
:doc:`do so safely <../cookbook/implementing-wakeup-or-clone>`.
- An entity class must not implement ``__wakeup`` or
:doc:`do so safely <../cookbook/implementing-wakeup-or-clone>`.
Also consider implementing
`Serializable <http://php.net/manual/en/class.serializable.php>`_
instead.
- Any two entity classes in a class hierarchy that inherit
directly or indirectly from one another must not have a mapped
property with the same name. That is, if B inherits from A then B
must not have a mapped field with the same name as an already
mapped field that is inherited from A.
- An entity cannot make use of func_get_args() to implement variable parameters.
Generated proxies do not support this for performance reasons and your code might
actually fail to work when violating this restriction.
Entities support inheritance, polymorphic associations, and
polymorphic queries. Both abstract and concrete classes can be
entities. Entities may extend non-entity classes as well as entity
classes, and non-entity classes may extend entity classes.
.. note::
The constructor of an entity is only ever invoked when
*you* construct a new instance with the *new* keyword. Doctrine
never calls entity constructors, thus you are free to use them as
you wish and even have it require arguments of any type.
Entity states
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An entity instance can be characterized as being NEW, MANAGED,
DETACHED or REMOVED.
- A NEW entity instance has no persistent identity, and is not yet
associated with an EntityManager and a UnitOfWork (i.e. those just
created with the "new" operator).
- A MANAGED entity instance is an instance with a persistent
identity that is associated with an EntityManager and whose
persistence is thus managed.
- A DETACHED entity instance is an instance with a persistent
identity that is not (or no longer) associated with an
EntityManager and a UnitOfWork.
- A REMOVED entity instance is an instance with a persistent
identity, associated with an EntityManager, that will be removed
from the database upon transaction commit.
.. _architecture_persistent_fields:
Persistent fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The persistent state of an entity is represented by instance
variables. An instance variable must be directly accessed only from
within the methods of the entity by the entity instance itself.
Instance variables must not be accessed by clients of the entity.
The state of the entity is available to clients only through the
entitys methods, i.e. accessor methods (getter/setter methods) or
other business methods.
Collection-valued persistent fields and properties must be defined
in terms of the ``Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection``
interface. The collection implementation type may be used by the
application to initialize fields or properties before the entity is
made persistent. Once the entity becomes managed (or detached),
subsequent access must be through the interface type.
Serializing entities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serializing entities can be problematic and is not really
recommended, at least not as long as an entity instance still holds
references to proxy objects or is still managed by an
EntityManager. If you intend to serialize (and unserialize) entity
instances that still hold references to proxy objects you may run
into problems with private properties because of technical
limitations. Proxy objects implement ``__sleep`` and it is not
possible for ``__sleep`` to return names of private properties in
parent classes. On the other hand it is not a solution for proxy
objects to implement ``Serializable`` because Serializable does not
work well with any potential cyclic object references (at least we
did not find a way yet, if you did, please contact us).
The EntityManager
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``EntityManager`` class is a central access point to the ORM
functionality provided by Doctrine 2. The ``EntityManager`` API is
used to manage the persistence of your objects and to query for
persistent objects.
Transactional write-behind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An ``EntityManager`` and the underlying ``UnitOfWork`` employ a
strategy called "transactional write-behind" that delays the
execution of SQL statements in order to execute them in the most
efficient way and to execute them at the end of a transaction so
that all write locks are quickly released. You should see Doctrine
as a tool to synchronize your in-memory objects with the database
in well defined units of work. Work with your objects and modify
them as usual and when you're done call ``EntityManager#flush()``
to make your changes persistent.
The Unit of Work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Internally an ``EntityManager`` uses a ``UnitOfWork``, which is a
typical implementation of the
`Unit of Work pattern <http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/unitOfWork.html>`_,
to keep track of all the things that need to be done the next time
``flush`` is invoked. You usually do not directly interact with a
``UnitOfWork`` but with the ``EntityManager`` instead.

Basic Mapping
=============
This guide explains the basic mapping of entities and properties.
After working through this guide you should know:
- How to create PHP objects that can be saved to the database with Doctrine;
- How to configure the mapping between columns on tables and properties on
entities;
- What Doctrine mapping types are;
- Defining primary keys and how identifiers are generated by Doctrine;
- How quoting of reserved symbols works in Doctrine.
Mapping of associations will be covered in the next chapter on
:doc:`Association Mapping <association-mapping>`.
Guide Assumptions
-----------------
You should have already :doc:`installed and configure <configuration>`
Doctrine.
Creating Classes for the Database
---------------------------------
Every PHP object that you want to save in the database using Doctrine
is called an "Entity". The term "Entity" describes objects
that have an identity over many independent requests. This identity is
usually achieved by assigning a unique identifier to an entity.
In this tutorial the following ``Message`` PHP class will serve as the
example Entity:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class Message
{
private $id;
private $text;
private $postedAt;
}
Because Doctrine is a generic library, it only knows about your
entities because you will describe their existence and structure using
mapping metadata, which is configuration that tells Doctrine how your
entity should be stored in the database. The documentation will often
speak of "mapping something", which means writing the mapping metadata
that describes your entity.
Doctrine provides several different ways to specify object-relational
mapping metadata:
- :doc:`Docblock Annotations <annotations-reference>`
- :doc:`XML <xml-mapping>`
- :doc:`YAML <yaml-mapping>`
- :doc:`PHP code <php-mapping>`
This manual will usually show mapping metadata via docblock annotations, though
many examples also show the equivalent configuration in YAML and XML.
.. note::
All metadata drivers perform equally. Once the metadata of a class has been
read from the source (annotations, xml or yaml) it is stored in an instance
of the ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata`` class and these instances are
stored in the metadata cache. If you're not using a metadata cache (not
recommended!) then the XML driver is the fastest.
Marking our ``Message`` class as an entity for Doctrine is straightforward:
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/** @Entity */
class Message
{
//...
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="Message">
<!-- ... -->
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
Message:
type: entity
# ...
With no additional information, Doctrine expects the entity to be saved
into a table with the same name as the class in our case ``Message``.
You can change this by configuring information about the table:
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* @Entity
* @Table(name="message")
*/
class Message
{
//...
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="Message" table="message">
<!-- ... -->
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
Message:
type: entity
table: message
# ...
Now the class ``Message`` will be saved and fetched from the table ``message``.
Property Mapping
----------------
The next step after marking a PHP class as an entity is mapping its properties
to columns in a table.
To configure a property use the ``@Column`` docblock annotation. The ``type``
attribute specifies the :ref:`Doctrine Mapping Type <reference-mapping-types>`
to use for the field. If the type is not specified, ``string`` is used as the
default.
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/** @Entity */
class Message
{
/** @Column(type="integer") */
private $id;
/** @Column(length=140) */
private $text;
/** @Column(type="datetime", name="posted_at") */
private $postedAt;
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="Message">
<field name="id" type="integer" />
<field name="text" length="140" />
<field name="postedAt" column="posted_at" type="datetime" />
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
Message:
type: entity
fields:
id:
type: integer
text:
length: 140
postedAt:
type: datetime
column: posted_at
When we don't explicitly specify a column name via the ``name`` option, Doctrine
assumes the field name is also the column name. This means that:
* the ``id`` property will map to the column ``id`` using the type ``integer``;
* the ``text`` property will map to the column ``text`` with the default mapping type ``string``;
* the ``postedAt`` property will map to the ``posted_at`` column with the ``datetime`` type.
The Column annotation has some more attributes. Here is a complete
list:
- ``type``: (optional, defaults to 'string') The mapping type to
use for the column.
- ``name``: (optional, defaults to field name) The name of the
column in the database.
- ``length``: (optional, default 255) The length of the column in
the database. (Applies only if a string-valued column is used).
- ``unique``: (optional, default FALSE) Whether the column is a
unique key.
- ``nullable``: (optional, default FALSE) Whether the database
column is nullable.
- ``precision``: (optional, default 0) The precision for a decimal
(exact numeric) column (applies only for decimal column),
which is the maximum number of digits that are stored for the values.
- ``scale``: (optional, default 0) The scale for a decimal (exact
numeric) column (applies only for decimal column), which represents
the number of digits to the right of the decimal point and must
not be greater than *precision*.
- ``columnDefinition``: (optional) Allows to define a custom
DDL snippet that is used to create the column. Warning: This normally
confuses the SchemaTool to always detect the column as changed.
- ``options``: (optional) Key-value pairs of options that get passed
to the underlying database platform when generating DDL statements.
.. _reference-mapping-types:
Doctrine Mapping Types
----------------------
The ``type`` option used in the ``@Column`` accepts any of the existing
Doctrine types or even your own custom types. A Doctrine type defines
the conversion between PHP and SQL types, independent from the database vendor
you are using. All Mapping Types that ship with Doctrine are fully portable
between the supported database systems.
As an example, the Doctrine Mapping Type ``string`` defines the
mapping from a PHP string to a SQL VARCHAR (or VARCHAR2 etc.
depending on the RDBMS brand). Here is a quick overview of the
built-in mapping types:
- ``string``: Type that maps a SQL VARCHAR to a PHP string.
- ``integer``: Type that maps a SQL INT to a PHP integer.
- ``smallint``: Type that maps a database SMALLINT to a PHP
integer.
- ``bigint``: Type that maps a database BIGINT to a PHP string.
- ``boolean``: Type that maps a SQL boolean or equivalent (TINYINT) to a PHP boolean.
- ``decimal``: Type that maps a SQL DECIMAL to a PHP string.
- ``date``: Type that maps a SQL DATETIME to a PHP DateTime
object.
- ``time``: Type that maps a SQL TIME to a PHP DateTime object.
- ``datetime``: Type that maps a SQL DATETIME/TIMESTAMP to a PHP
DateTime object.
- ``datetimetz``: Type that maps a SQL DATETIME/TIMESTAMP to a PHP
DateTime object with timezone.
- ``text``: Type that maps a SQL CLOB to a PHP string.
- ``object``: Type that maps a SQL CLOB to a PHP object using
``serialize()`` and ``unserialize()``
- ``array``: Type that maps a SQL CLOB to a PHP array using
``serialize()`` and ``unserialize()``
- ``simple_array``: Type that maps a SQL CLOB to a PHP array using
``implode()`` and ``explode()``, with a comma as delimiter. *IMPORTANT*
Only use this type if you are sure that your values cannot contain a ",".
- ``json_array``: Type that maps a SQL CLOB to a PHP array using
``json_encode()`` and ``json_decode()``
- ``float``: Type that maps a SQL Float (Double Precision) to a
PHP double. *IMPORTANT*: Works only with locale settings that use
decimal points as separator.
- ``guid``: Type that maps a database GUID/UUID to a PHP string. Defaults to
varchar but uses a specific type if the platform supports it.
- ``blob``: Type that maps a SQL BLOB to a PHP resource stream
A cookbook article shows how to define :doc:`your own custom mapping types
<../cookbook/custom-mapping-types>`.
.. note::
DateTime and Object types are compared by reference, not by value. Doctrine
updates this values if the reference changes and therefore behaves as if
these objects are immutable value objects.
.. warning::
All Date types assume that you are exclusively using the default timezone
set by `date_default_timezone_set() <http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php>`_
or by the php.ini configuration ``date.timezone``. Working with
different timezones will cause troubles and unexpected behavior.
If you need specific timezone handling you have to handle this
in your domain, converting all the values back and forth from UTC.
There is also a :doc:`cookbook entry <../cookbook/working-with-datetime>`
on working with datetimes that gives hints for implementing
multi timezone applications.
Identifiers / Primary Keys
--------------------------
Every entity class must have an identifier/primary key. You can select
the field that serves as the identifier with the ``@Id``
annotation.
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class Message
{
/**
* @Id
* @Column(type="integer")
* @GeneratedValue
*/
private $id;
//...
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="Message">
<id name="id" type="integer">
<generator strategy="AUTO" />
</id>
<!-- -->
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
Message:
type: entity
id:
id:
type: integer
generator:
strategy: AUTO
fields:
# fields here
In most cases using the automatic generator strategy (``@GeneratedValue``) is
what you want. It defaults to the identifier generation mechanism your current
database vendor prefers: AUTO_INCREMENT with MySQL, sequences with PostgreSQL
and Oracle and so on.
Identifier Generation Strategies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The previous example showed how to use the default identifier
generation strategy without knowing the underlying database with
the AUTO-detection strategy. It is also possible to specify the
identifier generation strategy more explicitly, which allows you to
make use of some additional features.
Here is the list of possible generation strategies:
- ``AUTO`` (default): Tells Doctrine to pick the strategy that is
preferred by the used database platform. The preferred strategies
are IDENTITY for MySQL, SQLite, MsSQL and SQL Anywhere and SEQUENCE
for Oracle and PostgreSQL. This strategy provides full portability.
- ``SEQUENCE``: Tells Doctrine to use a database sequence for ID
generation. This strategy does currently not provide full
portability. Sequences are supported by Oracle, PostgreSql and
SQL Anywhere.
- ``IDENTITY``: Tells Doctrine to use special identity columns in
the database that generate a value on insertion of a row. This
strategy does currently not provide full portability and is
supported by the following platforms: MySQL/SQLite/SQL Anywhere
(AUTO\_INCREMENT), MSSQL (IDENTITY) and PostgreSQL (SERIAL).
- ``UUID``: Tells Doctrine to use the built-in Universally Unique Identifier
generator. This strategy provides full portability.
- ``TABLE``: Tells Doctrine to use a separate table for ID
generation. This strategy provides full portability.
***This strategy is not yet implemented!***
- ``NONE``: Tells Doctrine that the identifiers are assigned (and
thus generated) by your code. The assignment must take place before
a new entity is passed to ``EntityManager#persist``. NONE is the
same as leaving off the @GeneratedValue entirely.
- ``CUSTOM``: With this option, you can use the ``@CustomIdGenerator`` annotation.
It will allow you to pass a :doc:`class of your own to generate the identifiers.<_annref_customidgenerator>`
Sequence Generator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Sequence Generator can currently be used in conjunction with
Oracle or Postgres and allows some additional configuration options
besides specifying the sequence's name:
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class Message
{
/**
* @Id
* @GeneratedValue(strategy="SEQUENCE")
* @SequenceGenerator(sequenceName="message_seq", initialValue=1, allocationSize=100)
*/
protected $id = null;
//...
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="Message">
<id name="id" type="integer">
<generator strategy="SEQUENCE" />
<sequence-generator sequence-name="message_seq" allocation-size="100" initial-value="1" />
</id>
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
Message:
type: entity
id:
id:
type: integer
generator:
strategy: SEQUENCE
sequenceGenerator:
sequenceName: message_seq
allocationSize: 100
initialValue: 1
The initial value specifies at which value the sequence should
start.
The allocationSize is a powerful feature to optimize INSERT
performance of Doctrine. The allocationSize specifies by how much
values the sequence is incremented whenever the next value is
retrieved. If this is larger than 1 (one) Doctrine can generate
identifier values for the allocationSizes amount of entities. In
the above example with ``allocationSize=100`` Doctrine 2 would only
need to access the sequence once to generate the identifiers for
100 new entities.
*The default allocationSize for a @SequenceGenerator is currently 10.*
.. caution::
The allocationSize is detected by SchemaTool and
transformed into an "INCREMENT BY " clause in the CREATE SEQUENCE
statement. For a database schema created manually (and not
SchemaTool) you have to make sure that the allocationSize
configuration option is never larger than the actual sequences
INCREMENT BY value, otherwise you may get duplicate keys.
.. note::
It is possible to use strategy="AUTO" and at the same time
specifying a @SequenceGenerator. In such a case, your custom
sequence settings are used in the case where the preferred strategy
of the underlying platform is SEQUENCE, such as for Oracle and
PostgreSQL.
Composite Keys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Doctrine 2 you can use composite primary keys, using ``@Id`` on more then
one column. Some restrictions exist opposed to using a single identifier in
this case: The use of the ``@GeneratedValue`` annotation is not supported,
which means you can only use composite keys if you generate the primary key
values yourself before calling ``EntityManager#persist()`` on the entity.
More details on composite primary keys are discussed in a :doc:`dedicated tutorial
<../tutorials/composite-primary-keys>`.
Quoting Reserved Words
----------------------
Sometimes it is necessary to quote a column or table name because of reserved
word conflicts. Doctrine does not quote identifiers automatically, because it
leads to more problems than it would solve. Quoting tables and column names
needs to be done explicitly using ticks in the definition.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/** @Column(name="`number`", type="integer") */
private $number;
Doctrine will then quote this column name in all SQL statements
according to the used database platform.
.. warning::
Identifier Quoting does not work for join column names or discriminator
column names unless you are using a custom ``QuoteStrategy``.
.. _reference-basic-mapping-custom-mapping-types:
.. versionadded: 2.3
For more control over column quoting the ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\QuoteStrategy`` interface
was introduced in 2.3. It is invoked for every column, table, alias and other
SQL names. You can implement the QuoteStrategy and set it by calling
``Doctrine\ORM\Configuration#setQuoteStrategy()``.
.. versionadded: 2.4
The ANSI Quote Strategy was added, which assumes quoting is not necessary for any SQL name.
You can use it with the following code:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\AnsiQuoteStrategy;
$configuration->setQuoteStrategy(new AnsiQuoteStrategy());

Batch Processing
================
This chapter shows you how to accomplish bulk inserts, updates and
deletes with Doctrine in an efficient way. The main problem with
bulk operations is usually not to run out of memory and this is
especially what the strategies presented here provide help with.
.. warning::
An ORM tool is not primarily well-suited for mass
inserts, updates or deletions. Every RDBMS has its own, most
effective way of dealing with such operations and if the options
outlined below are not sufficient for your purposes we recommend
you use the tools for your particular RDBMS for these bulk
operations.
.. note::
Having an SQL logger enabled when processing batches can have a serious impact on performance and resource usage.
To avoid that you should disable it in the DBAL configuration:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$em->getConnection()->getConfiguration()->setSQLLogger(null);
Bulk Inserts
------------
Bulk inserts in Doctrine are best performed in batches, taking
advantage of the transactional write-behind behavior of an
``EntityManager``. The following code shows an example for
inserting 10000 objects with a batch size of 20. You may need to
experiment with the batch size to find the size that works best for
you. Larger batch sizes mean more prepared statement reuse
internally but also mean more work during ``flush``.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$batchSize = 20;
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10000; ++$i) {
$user = new CmsUser;
$user->setStatus('user');
$user->setUsername('user' . $i);
$user->setName('Mr.Smith-' . $i);
$em->persist($user);
if (($i % $batchSize) === 0) {
$em->flush();
$em->clear(); // Detaches all objects from Doctrine!
}
}
$em->flush(); //Persist objects that did not make up an entire batch
$em->clear();
Bulk Updates
------------
There are 2 possibilities for bulk updates with Doctrine.
DQL UPDATE
~~~~~~~~~~
The by far most efficient way for bulk updates is to use a DQL
UPDATE query. Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$q = $em->createQuery('update MyProject\Model\Manager m set m.salary = m.salary * 0.9');
$numUpdated = $q->execute();
Iterating results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An alternative solution for bulk updates is to use the
``Query#iterate()`` facility to iterate over the query results step
by step instead of loading the whole result into memory at once.
The following example shows how to do this, combining the iteration
with the batching strategy that was already used for bulk inserts:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$batchSize = 20;
$i = 1;
$q = $em->createQuery('select u from MyProject\Model\User u');
$iterableResult = $q->iterate();
foreach ($iterableResult as $row) {
$user = $row[0];
$user->increaseCredit();
$user->calculateNewBonuses();
if (($i % $batchSize) === 0) {
$em->flush(); // Executes all updates.
$em->clear(); // Detaches all objects from Doctrine!
}
++$i;
}
$em->flush();
.. note::
Iterating results is not possible with queries that
fetch-join a collection-valued association. The nature of such SQL
result sets is not suitable for incremental hydration.
.. note::
Results may be fully buffered by the database client/ connection allocating
additional memory not visible to the PHP process. For large sets this
may easily kill the process for no apparent reason.
Bulk Deletes
------------
There are two possibilities for bulk deletes with Doctrine. You can
either issue a single DQL DELETE query or you can iterate over
results removing them one at a time.
DQL DELETE
~~~~~~~~~~
The by far most efficient way for bulk deletes is to use a DQL
DELETE query.
Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$q = $em->createQuery('delete from MyProject\Model\Manager m where m.salary > 100000');
$numDeleted = $q->execute();
Iterating results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An alternative solution for bulk deletes is to use the
``Query#iterate()`` facility to iterate over the query results step
by step instead of loading the whole result into memory at once.
The following example shows how to do this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$batchSize = 20;
$i = 1;
$q = $em->createQuery('select u from MyProject\Model\User u');
$iterableResult = $q->iterate();
while (($row = $iterableResult->next()) !== false) {
$em->remove($row[0]);
if (($i % $batchSize) === 0) {
$em->flush(); // Executes all deletions.
$em->clear(); // Detaches all objects from Doctrine!
}
++$i;
}
$em->flush();
.. note::
Iterating results is not possible with queries that
fetch-join a collection-valued association. The nature of such SQL
result sets is not suitable for incremental hydration.
Iterating Large Results for Data-Processing
-------------------------------------------
You can use the ``iterate()`` method just to iterate over a large
result and no UPDATE or DELETE intention. The ``IterableResult``
instance returned from ``$query->iterate()`` implements the
Iterator interface so you can process a large result without memory
problems using the following approach:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$q = $this->_em->createQuery('select u from MyProject\Model\User u');
$iterableResult = $q->iterate();
foreach ($iterableResult as $row) {
// do stuff with the data in the row, $row[0] is always the object
// detach from Doctrine, so that it can be Garbage-Collected immediately
$this->_em->detach($row[0]);
}
.. note::
Iterating results is not possible with queries that
fetch-join a collection-valued association. The nature of such SQL
result sets is not suitable for incremental hydration.

Best Practices
==============
The best practices mentioned here that affect database
design generally refer to best practices when working with Doctrine
and do not necessarily reflect best practices for database design
in general.
Constrain relationships as much as possible
-------------------------------------------
It is important to constrain relationships as much as possible.
This means:
- Impose a traversal direction (avoid bidirectional associations
if possible)
- Eliminate nonessential associations
This has several benefits:
- Reduced coupling in your domain model
- Simpler code in your domain model (no need to maintain
bidirectionality properly)
- Less work for Doctrine
Avoid composite keys
--------------------
Even though Doctrine fully supports composite keys it is best not
to use them if possible. Composite keys require additional work by
Doctrine and thus have a higher probability of errors.
Use events judiciously
----------------------
The event system of Doctrine is great and fast. Even though making
heavy use of events, especially lifecycle events, can have a
negative impact on the performance of your application. Thus you
should use events judiciously.
Use cascades judiciously
------------------------
Automatic cascades of the persist/remove/merge/etc. operations are
very handy but should be used wisely. Do NOT simply add all
cascades to all associations. Think about which cascades actually
do make sense for you for a particular association, given the
scenarios it is most likely used in.
Don't use special characters
----------------------------
Avoid using any non-ASCII characters in class, field, table or
column names. Doctrine itself is not unicode-safe in many places
and will not be until PHP itself is fully unicode-aware.
Don't use identifier quoting
----------------------------
Identifier quoting is a workaround for using reserved words that
often causes problems in edge cases. Do not use identifier quoting
and avoid using reserved words as table or column names.
Initialize collections in the constructor
-----------------------------------------
It is recommended best practice to initialize any business
collections in entities in the constructor. Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace MyProject\Model;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
class User {
private $addresses;
private $articles;
public function __construct() {
$this->addresses = new ArrayCollection;
$this->articles = new ArrayCollection;
}
}
Don't map foreign keys to fields in an entity
---------------------------------------------
Foreign keys have no meaning whatsoever in an object model. Foreign
keys are how a relational database establishes relationships. Your
object model establishes relationships through object references.
Thus mapping foreign keys to object fields heavily leaks details of
the relational model into the object model, something you really
should not do.
Use explicit transaction demarcation
------------------------------------
While Doctrine will automatically wrap all DML operations in a
transaction on flush(), it is considered best practice to
explicitly set the transaction boundaries yourself. Otherwise every
single query is wrapped in a small transaction (Yes, SELECT
queries, too) since you can not talk to your database outside of a
transaction. While such short transactions for read-only (SELECT)
queries generally don't have any noticeable performance impact, it
is still preferable to use fewer, well-defined transactions that
are established through explicit transaction boundaries.

Caching
=======
Doctrine provides cache drivers in the ``doctrine/cache`` package for some
of the most popular caching implementations such as APCu, Memcache
and Xcache. We also provide an ``ArrayCache`` driver which stores
the data in a PHP array. Obviously, when using ``ArrayCache``, the
cache does not persist between requests, but this is useful for
testing in a development environment.
Cache Drivers
-------------
The cache drivers follow a simple interface that is defined in
``Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache``. All the cache drivers extend a
base class ``Doctrine\Common\Cache\CacheProvider`` which implements
this interface.
The interface defines the following public methods for you to implement:
- fetch($id) - Fetches an entry from the cache
- contains($id) - Test if an entry exists in the cache
- save($id, $data, $lifeTime = false) - Puts data into the cache for x seconds. 0 = infinite time
- delete($id) - Deletes a cache entry
Each driver extends the ``CacheProvider`` class which defines a few
abstract protected methods that each of the drivers must
implement:
- doFetch($id)
- doContains($id)
- doSave($id, $data, $lifeTime = false)
- doDelete($id)
The public methods ``fetch()``, ``contains()`` etc. use the
above protected methods which are implemented by the drivers. The
code is organized this way so that the protected methods in the
drivers do the raw interaction with the cache implementation and
the ``CacheProvider`` can build custom functionality on top of
these methods.
This documentation does not cover every single cache driver included
with Doctrine. For an up-to-date-list, see the
`cache directory on GitHub <https://github.com/doctrine/cache/tree/master/lib/Doctrine/Common/Cache>`_.
PhpFileCache
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The preferred cache driver for metadata and query caches is ``PhpFileCache``.
This driver serializes cache items and writes them to a file. This allows for
opcode caching to be used and provides high performance in most scenarios.
In order to use the ``PhpFileCache`` driver it must be able to write to
a directory.
Below is an example of how to use the ``PhpFileCache`` driver by itself.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache(
'/path/to/writable/directory'
);
$cacheDriver->save('cache_id', 'my_data');
The PhpFileCache is not distributed across multiple machines if you are running
your application in a distributed setup. This is ok for the metadata and query
cache but is not a good approach for the result cache.
Memcache
~~~~~~~~
In order to use the Memcache cache driver you must have it compiled
and enabled in your php.ini. You can read about Memcache
`on the PHP website <http://php.net/memcache>`_. It will
give you a little background information about what it is and how
you can use it as well as how to install it.
Below is a simple example of how you could use the Memcache cache
driver by itself.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$memcache = new Memcache();
$memcache->connect('memcache_host', 11211);
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\MemcacheCache();
$cacheDriver->setMemcache($memcache);
$cacheDriver->save('cache_id', 'my_data');
Memcached
~~~~~~~~~
Memcached is a more recent and complete alternative extension to
Memcache.
In order to use the Memcached cache driver you must have it compiled
and enabled in your php.ini. You can read about Memcached
`on the PHP website <http://php.net/memcached>`_. It will
give you a little background information about what it is and how
you can use it as well as how to install it.
Below is a simple example of how you could use the Memcached cache
driver by itself.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$memcached = new Memcached();
$memcached->addServer('memcache_host', 11211);
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\MemcachedCache();
$cacheDriver->setMemcached($memcached);
$cacheDriver->save('cache_id', 'my_data');
Redis
~~~~~
In order to use the Redis cache driver you must have it compiled
and enabled in your php.ini. You can read about what Redis is
`from here <http://redis.io/>`_. Also check
`A PHP extension for Redis <https://github.com/nicolasff/phpredis/>`_ for how you can use
and install the Redis PHP extension.
Below is a simple example of how you could use the Redis cache
driver by itself.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$redis = new Redis();
$redis->connect('redis_host', 6379);
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\RedisCache();
$cacheDriver->setRedis($redis);
$cacheDriver->save('cache_id', 'my_data');
Using Cache Drivers
-------------------
In this section we'll describe how you can fully utilize the API of
the cache drivers to save data to a cache, check if some cached data
exists, fetch the cached data and delete the cached data. We'll use the
``ArrayCache`` implementation as our example here.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache();
Saving
~~~~~~
Saving some data to the cache driver is as simple as using the
``save()`` method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver->save('cache_id', 'my_data');
The ``save()`` method accepts three arguments which are described
below:
- ``$id`` - The cache id
- ``$data`` - The cache entry/data.
- ``$lifeTime`` - The lifetime. If != false, sets a specific
lifetime for this cache entry (null => infinite lifeTime).
You can save any type of data whether it be a string, array,
object, etc.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$array = array(
'key1' => 'value1',
'key2' => 'value2'
);
$cacheDriver->save('my_array', $array);
Checking
~~~~~~~~
Checking whether cached data exists is very simple: just use the
``contains()`` method. It accepts a single argument which is the ID
of the cache entry.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
if ($cacheDriver->contains('cache_id')) {
echo 'cache exists';
} else {
echo 'cache does not exist';
}
Fetching
~~~~~~~~
Now if you want to retrieve some cache entry you can use the
``fetch()`` method. It also accepts a single argument just like
``contains()`` which is again the ID of the cache entry.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$array = $cacheDriver->fetch('my_array');
Deleting
~~~~~~~~
As you might guess, deleting is just as easy as saving, checking
and fetching. You can delete by an individual ID, or you can
delete all entries.
By Cache ID
^^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver->delete('my_array');
All
^^^
If you simply want to delete all cache entries you can do so with
the ``deleteAll()`` method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$deleted = $cacheDriver->deleteAll();
Namespaces
~~~~~~~~~~
If you heavily use caching in your application and use it in
multiple parts of your application, or use it in different
applications on the same server you may have issues with cache
naming collisions. This can be worked around by using namespaces.
You can set the namespace a cache driver should use by using the
``setNamespace()`` method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver->setNamespace('my_namespace_');
.. _integrating-with-the-orm:
Integrating with the ORM
------------------------
The Doctrine ORM package is tightly integrated with the cache
drivers to allow you to improve the performance of various aspects of
Doctrine by simply making some additional configurations and
method calls.
Query Cache
~~~~~~~~~~~
It is highly recommended that in a production environment you cache
the transformation of a DQL query to its SQL counterpart. It
doesn't make sense to do this parsing multiple times as it doesn't
change unless you alter the DQL query.
This can be done by configuring the query cache implementation to
use on your ORM configuration.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache(
'/path/to/writable/directory'
);
$config = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration();
$config->setQueryCacheImpl($cacheDriver);
Result Cache
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The result cache can be used to cache the results of your queries
so that we don't have to query the database or hydrate the data
again after the first time. You just need to configure the result
cache implementation.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache(
'/path/to/writable/directory'
);
$config = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration();
$config->setResultCacheImpl($cacheDriver);
Now when you're executing DQL queries you can configure them to use
the result cache.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$query = $em->createQuery('select u from \Entities\User u');
$query->enableResultCache();
You can also configure an individual query to use a different
result cache driver.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache(
'/path/to/writable/directory'
);
$query->setResultCacheDriver($cacheDriver);
.. note::
Setting the result cache driver on the query will
automatically enable the result cache for the query. If you want to
disable it use ``disableResultCache()``.
::
<?php
$query->disableResultCache();
If you want to set the time the cache has to live you can use the
``setResultCacheLifetime()`` method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$query->setResultCacheLifetime(3600);
The ID used to store the result set cache is a hash which is
automatically generated for you if you don't set a custom ID
yourself with the ``setResultCacheId()`` method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$query->setResultCacheId('my_custom_id');
You can also set the lifetime and cache ID by passing the values as
the first and second argument to ``enableResultCache()``.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$query->enableResultCache(3600, 'my_custom_id');
Metadata Cache
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your class metadata can be parsed from a few different sources like
YAML, XML, Annotations, etc. Instead of parsing this information on
each request we should cache it using one of the cache drivers.
Just like the query and result cache we need to configure it
first.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cacheDriver = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\PhpFileCache(
'/path/to/writable/directory'
);
$config = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration();
$config->setMetadataCacheImpl($cacheDriver);
Now the metadata information will only be parsed once and stored in
the cache driver.
Clearing the Cache
------------------
We've already shown you how you can use the API of the
cache drivers to manually delete cache entries. For your
convenience we offer command line tasks to help you with
clearing the query, result and metadata cache.
From the Doctrine command line you can run the following commands:
To clear the query cache use the ``orm:clear-cache:query`` task.
.. code-block:: php
$ ./doctrine orm:clear-cache:query
To clear the metadata cache use the ``orm:clear-cache:metadata`` task.
.. code-block:: php
$ ./doctrine orm:clear-cache:metadata
To clear the result cache use the ``orm:clear-cache:result`` task.
.. code-block:: php
$ ./doctrine orm:clear-cache:result
All these tasks accept a ``--flush`` option to flush the entire
contents of the cache instead of invalidating the entries.
.. note::
None of these tasks will work with APC, APCu, or XCache drivers
because the memory that the cache is stored in is only accessible
to the webserver.
Cache Chaining
--------------
A common pattern is to use a static cache to store data that is
requested many times in a single PHP request. Even though this data
may be stored in a fast memory cache, often that cache is over a
network link leading to sizable network traffic.
The ChainCache class allows multiple caches to be registered at once.
For example, a per-request ArrayCache can be used first, followed by
a (relatively) slower MemcacheCache if the ArrayCache misses.
ChainCache automatically handles pushing data up to faster caches in
the chain and clearing data in the entire stack when it is deleted.
A ChainCache takes a simple array of CacheProviders in the order that
they should be used.
.. code-block:: php
$arrayCache = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ArrayCache();
$memcache = new Memcache();
$memcache->connect('memcache_host', 11211);
$chainCache = new \Doctrine\Common\Cache\ChainCache([
$arrayCache,
$memcache,
]);
ChainCache itself extends the CacheProvider interface, so it is
possible to create chains of chains. While this may seem like an easy
way to build a simple high-availability cache, ChainCache does not
implement any exception handling so using it as a high-availability
mechanism is not recommended.
Cache Slams
-----------
Something to be careful of when using the cache drivers is
"cache slams". Imagine you have a heavily trafficked website with some
code that checks for the existence of a cache record and if it does
not exist it generates the information and saves it to the cache.
Now, if 100 requests were issued all at the same time and each one
sees the cache does not exist and they all try to insert the same
cache entry it could lock up APC, Xcache, etc. and cause problems.
Ways exist to work around this, like pre-populating your cache and
not letting your users' requests populate the cache.
You can read more about cache slams

Change Tracking Policies
========================
Change tracking is the process of determining what has changed in
managed entities since the last time they were synchronized with
the database.
Doctrine provides 3 different change tracking policies, each having
its particular advantages and disadvantages. The change tracking
policy can be defined on a per-class basis (or more precisely,
per-hierarchy).
Deferred Implicit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The deferred implicit policy is the default change tracking policy
and the most convenient one. With this policy, Doctrine detects the
changes by a property-by-property comparison at commit time and
also detects changes to entities or new entities that are
referenced by other managed entities ("persistence by
reachability"). Although the most convenient policy, it can have
negative effects on performance if you are dealing with large units
of work (see "Understanding the Unit of Work"). Since Doctrine
can't know what has changed, it needs to check all managed entities
for changes every time you invoke EntityManager#flush(), making
this operation rather costly.
Deferred Explicit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The deferred explicit policy is similar to the deferred implicit
policy in that it detects changes through a property-by-property
comparison at commit time. The difference is that Doctrine 2 only
considers entities that have been explicitly marked for change detection
through a call to EntityManager#persist(entity) or through a save
cascade. All other entities are skipped. This policy therefore
gives improved performance for larger units of work while
sacrificing the behavior of "automatic dirty checking".
Therefore, flush() operations are potentially cheaper with this
policy. The negative aspect this has is that if you have a rather
large application and you pass your objects through several layers
for processing purposes and business tasks you may need to track
yourself which entities have changed on the way so you can pass
them to EntityManager#persist().
This policy can be configured as follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* @Entity
* @ChangeTrackingPolicy("DEFERRED_EXPLICIT")
*/
class User
{
// ...
}
Notify
~~~~~~
This policy is based on the assumption that the entities notify
interested listeners of changes to their properties. For that
purpose, a class that wants to use this policy needs to implement
the ``NotifyPropertyChanged`` interface from the Doctrine
namespace. As a guideline, such an implementation can look as
follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\Persistence\NotifyPropertyChanged,
Doctrine\Persistence\PropertyChangedListener;
/**
* @Entity
* @ChangeTrackingPolicy("NOTIFY")
*/
class MyEntity implements NotifyPropertyChanged
{
// ...
private $_listeners = array();
public function addPropertyChangedListener(PropertyChangedListener $listener)
{
$this->_listeners[] = $listener;
}
}
Then, in each property setter of this class or derived classes, you
need to notify all the ``PropertyChangedListener`` instances. As an
example we add a convenience method on ``MyEntity`` that shows this
behaviour:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// ...
class MyEntity implements NotifyPropertyChanged
{
// ...
protected function _onPropertyChanged($propName, $oldValue, $newValue)
{
if ($this->_listeners) {
foreach ($this->_listeners as $listener) {
$listener->propertyChanged($this, $propName, $oldValue, $newValue);
}
}
}
public function setData($data)
{
if ($data != $this->data) {
$this->_onPropertyChanged('data', $this->data, $data);
$this->data = $data;
}
}
}
You have to invoke ``_onPropertyChanged`` inside every method that
changes the persistent state of ``MyEntity``.
The check whether the new value is different from the old one is
not mandatory but recommended. That way you also have full control
over when you consider a property changed.
The negative point of this policy is obvious: You need implement an
interface and write some plumbing code. But also note that we tried
hard to keep this notification functionality abstract. Strictly
speaking, it has nothing to do with the persistence layer and the
Doctrine ORM or DBAL. You may find that property notification
events come in handy in many other scenarios as well. As mentioned
earlier, the ``Doctrine\Common`` namespace is not that evil and
consists solely of very small classes and interfaces that have
almost no external dependencies (none to the DBAL and none to the
ORM) and that you can easily take with you should you want to swap
out the persistence layer. This change tracking policy does not
introduce a dependency on the Doctrine DBAL/ORM or the persistence
layer.
The positive point and main advantage of this policy is its
effectiveness. It has the best performance characteristics of the 3
policies with larger units of work and a flush() operation is very
cheap when nothing has changed.

Installation and Configuration
==============================
Doctrine can be installed with `Composer <https://getcomposer.org>`_.
Define the following requirement in your ``composer.json`` file:
::
{
"require": {
"doctrine/orm": "*"
}
}
Then call ``composer install`` from your command line. If you don't know
how Composer works, check out their `Getting Started <https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md>`_ to set up.
Class loading
-------------
Autoloading is taken care of by Composer. You just have to include the composer autoload file in your project:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// bootstrap.php
// Include Composer Autoload (relative to project root).
require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
Obtaining an EntityManager
--------------------------
Once you have prepared the class loading, you acquire an
*EntityManager* instance. The EntityManager class is the primary
access point to ORM functionality provided by Doctrine.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// bootstrap.php
require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
use Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Setup;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;
$paths = array("/path/to/entity-files");
$isDevMode = false;
// the connection configuration
$dbParams = array(
'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
'user' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'dbname' => 'foo',
);
$config = Setup::createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration($paths, $isDevMode);
$entityManager = EntityManager::create($dbParams, $config);
Or if you prefer XML:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$paths = array("/path/to/xml-mappings");
$config = Setup::createXMLMetadataConfiguration($paths, $isDevMode);
$entityManager = EntityManager::create($dbParams, $config);
Or if you prefer YAML:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$paths = array("/path/to/yml-mappings");
$config = Setup::createYAMLMetadataConfiguration($paths, $isDevMode);
$entityManager = EntityManager::create($dbParams, $config);
.. note::
If you want to use yml mapping you should add yaml dependency to your `composer.json`:
::
"symfony/yaml": "*"
Inside the ``Setup`` methods several assumptions are made:
- If `$isDevMode` is true caching is done in memory with the ``ArrayCache``. Proxy objects are recreated on every request.
- If `$isDevMode` is false, check for Caches in the order APC, Xcache, Memcache (127.0.0.1:11211), Redis (127.0.0.1:6379) unless `$cache` is passed as fourth argument.
- If `$isDevMode` is false, set then proxy classes have to be explicitly created through the command line.
- If third argument `$proxyDir` is not set, use the systems temporary directory.
If you want to configure Doctrine in more detail, take a look at the :doc:`Advanced Configuration <reference/advanced-configuration>` section.
.. note::
You can learn more about the database connection configuration in the
`Doctrine DBAL connection configuration reference <http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/latest/reference/configuration.html>`_.
Setting up the Commandline Tool
-------------------------------
Doctrine ships with a number of command line tools that are very helpful
during development. You can call this command from the Composer binary
directory:
.. code-block:: sh
$ php vendor/bin/doctrine
You need to register your applications EntityManager to the console tool
to make use of the tasks by creating a ``cli-config.php`` file with the
following content:
On Doctrine 2.4 and above:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\ConsoleRunner;
// replace with file to your own project bootstrap
require_once 'bootstrap.php';
// replace with mechanism to retrieve EntityManager in your app
$entityManager = GetEntityManager();
return ConsoleRunner::createHelperSet($entityManager);
On Doctrine 2.3 and below:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// cli-config.php
require_once 'my_bootstrap.php';
// Any way to access the EntityManager from your application
$em = GetMyEntityManager();
$helperSet = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\HelperSet(array(
'db' => new \Doctrine\DBAL\Tools\Console\Helper\ConnectionHelper($em->getConnection()),
'em' => new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\Helper\EntityManagerHelper($em)
));

Events
======
Doctrine 2 features a lightweight event system that is part of the
Common package. Doctrine uses it to dispatch system events, mainly
:ref:`lifecycle events <reference-events-lifecycle-events>`.
You can also use it for your own custom events.
The Event System
----------------
The event system is controlled by the ``EventManager``. It is the
central point of Doctrine's event listener system. Listeners are
registered on the manager and events are dispatched through the
manager.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$evm = new EventManager();
Now we can add some event listeners to the ``$evm``. Let's create a
``TestEvent`` class to play around with.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class TestEvent
{
const preFoo = 'preFoo';
const postFoo = 'postFoo';
private $_evm;
public $preFooInvoked = false;
public $postFooInvoked = false;
public function __construct($evm)
{
$evm->addEventListener(array(self::preFoo, self::postFoo), $this);
}
public function preFoo(EventArgs $e)
{
$this->preFooInvoked = true;
}
public function postFoo(EventArgs $e)
{
$this->postFooInvoked = true;
}
}
// Create a new instance
$test = new TestEvent($evm);
Events can be dispatched by using the ``dispatchEvent()`` method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$evm->dispatchEvent(TestEvent::preFoo);
$evm->dispatchEvent(TestEvent::postFoo);
You can easily remove a listener with the ``removeEventListener()``
method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$evm->removeEventListener(array(self::preFoo, self::postFoo), $this);
The Doctrine 2 event system also has a simple concept of event
subscribers. We can define a simple ``TestEventSubscriber`` class
which implements the ``\Doctrine\Common\EventSubscriber`` interface
and implements a ``getSubscribedEvents()`` method which returns an
array of events it should be subscribed to.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class TestEventSubscriber implements \Doctrine\Common\EventSubscriber
{
public $preFooInvoked = false;
public function preFoo()
{
$this->preFooInvoked = true;
}
public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return array(TestEvent::preFoo);
}
}
$eventSubscriber = new TestEventSubscriber();
$evm->addEventSubscriber($eventSubscriber);
.. note::
The array to return in the ``getSubscribedEvents`` method is a simple array
with the values being the event names. The subscriber must have a method
that is named exactly like the event.
Now when you dispatch an event, any event subscribers will be
notified for that event.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$evm->dispatchEvent(TestEvent::preFoo);
Now you can test the ``$eventSubscriber`` instance to see if the
``preFoo()`` method was invoked.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
if ($eventSubscriber->preFooInvoked) {
echo 'pre foo invoked!';
}
Naming convention
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Events being used with the Doctrine 2 EventManager are best named
with camelcase and the value of the corresponding constant should
be the name of the constant itself, even with spelling. This has
several reasons:
- It is easy to read.
- Simplicity.
- Each method within an EventSubscriber is named after the
corresponding constant's value. If the constant's name and value differ
it contradicts the intention of using the constant and makes your code
harder to maintain.
An example for a correct notation can be found in the example
``TestEvent`` above.
.. _reference-events-lifecycle-events:
Lifecycle Events
----------------
The ``EntityManager`` and ``UnitOfWork`` classes trigger a bunch of
events during the life-time of their registered entities.
- ``preRemove`` - The ``preRemove`` event occurs for a given entity
before the respective ``EntityManager`` remove operation for that
entity is executed. It is not called for a DQL ``DELETE`` statement.
- ``postRemove`` - The ``postRemove`` event occurs for an entity after the
entity has been deleted. It will be invoked after the database
delete operations. It is not called for a DQL ``DELETE`` statement.
- ``prePersist`` - The ``prePersist`` event occurs for a given entity
before the respective ``EntityManager`` persist operation for that
entity is executed. It should be noted that this event is only triggered on
*initial* persist of an entity (i.e. it does not trigger on future updates).
- ``postPersist`` - The ``postPersist`` event occurs for an entity after
the entity has been made persistent. It will be invoked after the
database insert operations. Generated primary key values are
available in the postPersist event.
- ``preUpdate`` - The ``preUpdate`` event occurs before the database
update operations to entity data. It is not called for a DQL
``UPDATE`` statement nor when the computed changeset is empty.
- ``postUpdate`` - The ``postUpdate`` event occurs after the database
update operations to entity data. It is not called for a DQL
``UPDATE`` statement.
- ``postLoad`` - The postLoad event occurs for an entity after the
entity has been loaded into the current ``EntityManager`` from the
database or after the refresh operation has been applied to it.
- ``loadClassMetadata`` - The ``loadClassMetadata`` event occurs after the
mapping metadata for a class has been loaded from a mapping source
(annotations/xml/yaml). This event is not a lifecycle callback.
- ``onClassMetadataNotFound`` - Loading class metadata for a particular
requested class name failed. Manipulating the given event args instance
allows providing fallback metadata even when no actual metadata exists
or could be found. This event is not a lifecycle callback.
- ``preFlush`` - The ``preFlush`` event occurs at the very beginning of
a flush operation.
- ``onFlush`` - The ``onFlush`` event occurs after the change-sets of all
managed entities are computed. This event is not a lifecycle
callback.
- ``postFlush`` - The ``postFlush`` event occurs at the end of a flush operation. This
event is not a lifecycle callback.
- ``onClear`` - The ``onClear`` event occurs when the
``EntityManager#clear()`` operation is invoked, after all references
to entities have been removed from the unit of work. This event is not
a lifecycle callback.
.. warning::
Note that, when using ``Doctrine\ORM\AbstractQuery#iterate()``, ``postLoad``
events will be executed immediately after objects are being hydrated, and therefore
associations are not guaranteed to be initialized. It is not safe to combine
usage of ``Doctrine\ORM\AbstractQuery#iterate()`` and ``postLoad`` event
handlers.
.. warning::
Note that the ``postRemove`` event or any events triggered after an entity removal
can receive an uninitializable proxy in case you have configured an entity to
cascade remove relations. In this case, you should load yourself the proxy in
the associated pre event.
You can access the Event constants from the ``Events`` class in the
ORM package.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Events;
echo Events::preUpdate;
These can be hooked into by two different types of event
listeners:
- Lifecycle Callbacks are methods on the entity classes that are
called when the event is triggered. As of v2.4 they receive some kind
of ``EventArgs`` instance.
- Lifecycle Event Listeners and Subscribers are classes with specific callback
methods that receives some kind of ``EventArgs`` instance.
The ``EventArgs`` instance received by the listener gives access to the entity,
``EntityManager`` instance and other relevant data.
.. note::
All Lifecycle events that happen during the ``flush()`` of
an ``EntityManager`` have very specific constraints on the allowed
operations that can be executed. Please read the
:ref:`reference-events-implementing-listeners` section very carefully
to understand which operations are allowed in which lifecycle event.
Lifecycle Callbacks
-------------------
Lifecycle Callbacks are defined on an entity class. They allow you to
trigger callbacks whenever an instance of that entity class experiences
a relevant lifecycle event. More than one callback can be defined for each
lifecycle event. Lifecycle Callbacks are best used for simple operations
specific to a particular entity class's lifecycle.
.. note::
Note that Licecycle Callbacks are not supported for Embeddables.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/** @Entity @HasLifecycleCallbacks */
class User
{
// ...
/**
* @Column(type="string", length=255)
*/
public $value;
/** @Column(name="created_at", type="string", length=255) */
private $createdAt;
/** @PrePersist */
public function doStuffOnPrePersist()
{
$this->createdAt = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
}
/** @PrePersist */
public function doOtherStuffOnPrePersist()
{
$this->value = 'changed from prePersist callback!';
}
/** @PostPersist */
public function doStuffOnPostPersist()
{
$this->value = 'changed from postPersist callback!';
}
/** @PostLoad */
public function doStuffOnPostLoad()
{
$this->value = 'changed from postLoad callback!';
}
/** @PreUpdate */
public function doStuffOnPreUpdate()
{
$this->value = 'changed from preUpdate callback!';
}
}
Note that the methods set as lifecycle callbacks need to be public and,
when using these annotations, you have to apply the
``@HasLifecycleCallbacks`` marker annotation on the entity class.
If you want to register lifecycle callbacks from YAML or XML you
can do it with the following.
.. code-block:: yaml
User:
type: entity
fields:
# ...
name:
type: string(50)
lifecycleCallbacks:
prePersist: [ doStuffOnPrePersist, doOtherStuffOnPrePersist ]
postPersist: [ doStuffOnPostPersist ]
In YAML the ``key`` of the lifecycleCallbacks entry is the event that you
are triggering on and the value is the method (or methods) to call. The allowed
event types are the ones listed in the previous Lifecycle Events section.
XML would look something like this:
.. code-block:: xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doctrine-mapping xmlns="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping
https://www.doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping.xsd">
<entity name="User">
<lifecycle-callbacks>
<lifecycle-callback type="prePersist" method="doStuffOnPrePersist"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="postPersist" method="doStuffOnPostPersist"/>
</lifecycle-callbacks>
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
In XML the ``type`` of the lifecycle-callback entry is the event that you
are triggering on and the ``method`` is the method to call. The allowed event
types are the ones listed in the previous Lifecycle Events section.
When using YAML or XML you need to remember to create public methods to match the
callback names you defined. E.g. in these examples ``doStuffOnPrePersist()``,
``doOtherStuffOnPrePersist()`` and ``doStuffOnPostPersist()`` methods need to be
defined on your ``User`` model.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// ...
class User
{
// ...
public function doStuffOnPrePersist()
{
// ...
}
public function doOtherStuffOnPrePersist()
{
// ...
}
public function doStuffOnPostPersist()
{
// ...
}
}
Lifecycle Callbacks Event Argument
-----------------------------------
.. versionadded:: 2.4
Since 2.4 the triggered event is given to the lifecycle-callback.
With the additional argument you have access to the
``EntityManager`` and ``UnitOfWork`` APIs inside these callback methods.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// ...
class User
{
public function preUpdate(PreUpdateEventArgs $event)
{
if ($event->hasChangedField('username')) {
// Do something when the username is changed.
}
}
}
Listening and subscribing to Lifecycle Events
---------------------------------------------
Lifecycle event listeners are much more powerful than the simple
lifecycle callbacks that are defined on the entity classes. They
sit at a level above the entities and allow you to implement re-usable
behaviors across different entity classes.
Note that they require much more detailed knowledge about the inner
workings of the ``EntityManager`` and ``UnitOfWork`` classes. Please
read the :ref:`reference-events-implementing-listeners` section
carefully if you are trying to write your own listener.
For event subscribers, there are no surprises. They declare the
lifecycle events in their ``getSubscribedEvents`` method and provide
public methods that expect the relevant arguments.
A lifecycle event listener looks like the following:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\Persistence\Event\LifecycleEventArgs;
class MyEventListener
{
public function preUpdate(LifecycleEventArgs $args)
{
$entity = $args->getObject();
$entityManager = $args->getObjectManager();
// perhaps you only want to act on some "Product" entity
if ($entity instanceof Product) {
// do something with the Product
}
}
}
A lifecycle event subscriber may look like this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Events;
use Doctrine\EventSubscriber;
use Doctrine\Persistence\Event\LifecycleEventArgs;
class MyEventSubscriber implements EventSubscriber
{
public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return array(
Events::postUpdate,
);
}
public function postUpdate(LifecycleEventArgs $args)
{
$entity = $args->getObject();
$entityManager = $args->getObjectManager();
// perhaps you only want to act on some "Product" entity
if ($entity instanceof Product) {
// do something with the Product
}
}
.. note::
Lifecycle events are triggered for all entities. It is the responsibility
of the listeners and subscribers to check if the entity is of a type
it wants to handle.
To register an event listener or subscriber, you have to hook it into the
EventManager that is passed to the EntityManager factory:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$eventManager = new EventManager();
$eventManager->addEventListener(array(Events::preUpdate), new MyEventListener());
$eventManager->addEventSubscriber(new MyEventSubscriber());
$entityManager = EntityManager::create($dbOpts, $config, $eventManager);
You can also retrieve the event manager instance after the
EntityManager was created:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$entityManager->getEventManager()->addEventListener(array(Events::preUpdate), new MyEventListener());
$entityManager->getEventManager()->addEventSubscriber(new MyEventSubscriber());
.. _reference-events-implementing-listeners:
Implementing Event Listeners
----------------------------
This section explains what is and what is not allowed during
specific lifecycle events of the ``UnitOfWork`` class. Although you get
passed the ``EntityManager`` instance in all of these events, you have
to follow these restrictions very carefully since operations in the
wrong event may produce lots of different errors, such as inconsistent
data and lost updates/persists/removes.
For the described events that are also lifecycle callback events
the restrictions apply as well, with the additional restriction
that (prior to version 2.4) you do not have access to the
``EntityManager`` or ``UnitOfWork`` APIs inside these events.
prePersist
~~~~~~~~~~
There are two ways for the ``prePersist`` event to be triggered.
One is obviously when you call ``EntityManager#persist()``. The
event is also called for all cascaded associations.
There is another way for ``prePersist`` to be called, inside the
``flush()`` method when changes to associations are computed and
this association is marked as cascade persist. Any new entity found
during this operation is also persisted and ``prePersist`` called
on it. This is called "persistence by reachability".
In both cases you get passed a ``LifecycleEventArgs`` instance
which has access to the entity and the entity manager.
The following restrictions apply to ``prePersist``:
- If you are using a PrePersist Identity Generator such as
sequences the ID value will *NOT* be available within any
PrePersist events.
- Doctrine will not recognize changes made to relations in a prePersist
event. This includes modifications to
collections such as additions, removals or replacement.
preRemove
~~~~~~~~~
The ``preRemove`` event is called on every entity when its passed
to the ``EntityManager#remove()`` method. It is cascaded for all
associations that are marked as cascade delete.
There are no restrictions to what methods can be called inside the
``preRemove`` event, except when the remove method itself was
called during a flush operation.
preFlush
~~~~~~~~
``preFlush`` is called at ``EntityManager#flush()`` before
anything else. ``EntityManager#flush()`` should not be called inside
its listeners, since `preFlush` event is dispatched in it, which would
result in infinite loop.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Event\PreFlushEventArgs;
class PreFlushExampleListener
{
public function preFlush(PreFlushEventArgs $args)
{
// ...
}
}
onFlush
~~~~~~~
OnFlush is a very powerful event. It is called inside
``EntityManager#flush()`` after the changes to all the managed
entities and their associations have been computed. This means, the
``onFlush`` event has access to the sets of:
- Entities scheduled for insert
- Entities scheduled for update
- Entities scheduled for removal
- Collections scheduled for update
- Collections scheduled for removal
To make use of the ``onFlush`` event you have to be familiar with the
internal ``UnitOfWork`` API, which grants you access to the previously
mentioned sets. See this example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class FlushExampleListener
{
public function onFlush(OnFlushEventArgs $eventArgs)
{
$em = $eventArgs->getEntityManager();
$uow = $em->getUnitOfWork();
foreach ($uow->getScheduledEntityInsertions() as $entity) {
}
foreach ($uow->getScheduledEntityUpdates() as $entity) {
}
foreach ($uow->getScheduledEntityDeletions() as $entity) {
}
foreach ($uow->getScheduledCollectionDeletions() as $col) {
}
foreach ($uow->getScheduledCollectionUpdates() as $col) {
}
}
}
The following restrictions apply to the onFlush event:
- If you create and persist a new entity in ``onFlush``, then
calling ``EntityManager#persist()`` is not enough.
You have to execute an additional call to
``$unitOfWork->computeChangeSet($classMetadata, $entity)``.
- Changing primitive fields or associations requires you to
explicitly trigger a re-computation of the changeset of the
affected entity. This can be done by calling
``$unitOfWork->recomputeSingleEntityChangeSet($classMetadata, $entity)``.
postFlush
~~~~~~~~~
``postFlush`` is called at the end of ``EntityManager#flush()``.
``EntityManager#flush()`` can **NOT** be called safely inside its listeners.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Event\PostFlushEventArgs;
class PostFlushExampleListener
{
public function postFlush(PostFlushEventArgs $args)
{
// ...
}
}
preUpdate
~~~~~~~~~
PreUpdate is the most restrictive to use event, since it is called
right before an update statement is called for an entity inside the
``EntityManager#flush()`` method. Note that this event is not
triggered when the computed changeset is empty.
Changes to associations of the updated entity are never allowed in
this event, since Doctrine cannot guarantee to correctly handle
referential integrity at this point of the flush operation. This
event has a powerful feature however, it is executed with a
``PreUpdateEventArgs`` instance, which contains a reference to the
computed change-set of this entity.
This means you have access to all the fields that have changed for
this entity with their old and new value. The following methods are
available on the ``PreUpdateEventArgs``:
- ``getEntity()`` to get access to the actual entity.
- ``getEntityChangeSet()`` to get a copy of the changeset array.
Changes to this returned array do not affect updating.
- ``hasChangedField($fieldName)`` to check if the given field name
of the current entity changed.
- ``getOldValue($fieldName)`` and ``getNewValue($fieldName)`` to
access the values of a field.
- ``setNewValue($fieldName, $value)`` to change the value of a
field to be updated.
A simple example for this event looks like:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class NeverAliceOnlyBobListener
{
public function preUpdate(PreUpdateEventArgs $eventArgs)
{
if ($eventArgs->getEntity() instanceof User) {
if ($eventArgs->hasChangedField('name') && $eventArgs->getNewValue('name') == 'Alice') {
$eventArgs->setNewValue('name', 'Bob');
}
}
}
}
You could also use this listener to implement validation of all the
fields that have changed. This is more efficient than using a
lifecycle callback when there are expensive validations to call:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class ValidCreditCardListener
{
public function preUpdate(PreUpdateEventArgs $eventArgs)
{
if ($eventArgs->getEntity() instanceof Account) {
if ($eventArgs->hasChangedField('creditCard')) {
$this->validateCreditCard($eventArgs->getNewValue('creditCard'));
}
}
}
private function validateCreditCard($no)
{
// throw an exception to interrupt flush event. Transaction will be rolled back.
}
}
Restrictions for this event:
- Changes to associations of the passed entities are not
recognized by the flush operation anymore.
- Changes to fields of the passed entities are not recognized by
the flush operation anymore, use the computed change-set passed to
the event to modify primitive field values, e.g. use
``$eventArgs->setNewValue($field, $value);`` as in the Alice to Bob example above.
- Any calls to ``EntityManager#persist()`` or
``EntityManager#remove()``, even in combination with the ``UnitOfWork``
API are strongly discouraged and don't work as expected outside the
flush operation.
postUpdate, postRemove, postPersist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The three post events are called inside ``EntityManager#flush()``.
Changes in here are not relevant to the persistence in the
database, but you can use these events to alter non-persistable items,
like non-mapped fields, logging or even associated classes that are
not directly mapped by Doctrine.
postLoad
~~~~~~~~
This event is called after an entity is constructed by the
EntityManager.
Entity listeners
----------------
.. versionadded:: 2.4
An entity listener is a lifecycle listener class used for an entity.
- The entity listener's mapping may be applied to an entity class or mapped superclass.
- An entity listener is defined by mapping the entity class with the corresponding mapping.
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace MyProject\Entity;
/** @Entity @EntityListeners({"UserListener"}) */
class User
{
// ....
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="MyProject\Entity\User">
<entity-listeners>
<entity-listener class="UserListener"/>
</entity-listeners>
<!-- .... -->
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
MyProject\Entity\User:

Entity listeners class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An ``Entity Listener`` could be any class, by default it should be a class with a no-arg constructor.
- Different from :ref:`reference-events-implementing-listeners` an ``Entity Listener`` is invoked just to the specified entity
- An entity listener method receives two arguments, the entity instance and the lifecycle event.
- The callback method can be defined by naming convention or specifying a method mapping.
- When a listener mapping is not given the parser will use the naming convention to look for a matching method,
e.g. it will look for a public ``preUpdate()`` method if you are listening to the ``preUpdate`` event.
- When a listener mapping is given the parser will not look for any methods using the naming convention.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class UserListener
{
public function preUpdate(User $user, PreUpdateEventArgs $event)
{
// Do something on pre update.
}
}
To define a specific event listener method (one that does not follow the naming convention)
you need to map the listener method using the event type mapping:
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class UserListener
{
/** @PrePersist */
public function prePersistHandler(User $user, LifecycleEventArgs $event) { // ... }
/** @PostPersist */
public function postPersistHandler(User $user, LifecycleEventArgs $event) { // ... }
/** @PreUpdate */
public function preUpdateHandler(User $user, PreUpdateEventArgs $event) { // ... }
/** @PostUpdate */
public function postUpdateHandler(User $user, LifecycleEventArgs $event) { // ... }
/** @PostRemove */
public function postRemoveHandler(User $user, LifecycleEventArgs $event) { // ... }
/** @PreRemove */
public function preRemoveHandler(User $user, LifecycleEventArgs $event) { // ... }
/** @PreFlush */
public function preFlushHandler(User $user, PreFlushEventArgs $event) { // ... }
/** @PostLoad */
public function postLoadHandler(User $user, LifecycleEventArgs $event) { // ... }
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="MyProject\Entity\User">
<entity-listeners>
<entity-listener class="UserListener">
<lifecycle-callback type="preFlush" method="preFlushHandler"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="postLoad" method="postLoadHandler"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="postPersist" method="postPersistHandler"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="prePersist" method="prePersistHandler"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="postUpdate" method="postUpdateHandler"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="preUpdate" method="preUpdateHandler"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="postRemove" method="postRemoveHandler"/>
<lifecycle-callback type="preRemove" method="preRemoveHandler"/>
</entity-listener>
</entity-listeners>
<!-- .... -->
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
MyProject\Entity\User:
type: entity
entityListeners:
UserListener:
preFlush: [preFlushHandler]
postLoad: [postLoadHandler]
postPersist: [postPersistHandler]
prePersist: [prePersistHandler]
postUpdate: [postUpdateHandler]
preUpdate: [preUpdateHandler]
postRemove: [postRemoveHandler]
preRemove: [preRemoveHandler]
# ....
.. note::
The order of execution of multiple methods for the same event (e.g. multiple @PrePersist) is not guaranteed.
Entity listeners resolver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine invokes the listener resolver to get the listener instance.
- A resolver allows you register a specific entity listener instance.
- You can also implement your own resolver by extending ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\DefaultEntityListenerResolver`` or implementing ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\EntityListenerResolver``
Specifying an entity listener instance :
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// User.php
/** @Entity @EntityListeners({"UserListener"}) */
class User
{
// ....
}
// UserListener.php
class UserListener
{
public function __construct(MyService $service)
{
$this->service = $service;
}
public function preUpdate(User $user, PreUpdateEventArgs $event)
{
$this->service->doSomething($user);
}
}
// register a entity listener.
$listener = $container->get('user_listener');
$em->getConfiguration()->getEntityListenerResolver()->register($listener);
Implementing your own resolver :
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class MyEntityListenerResolver extends \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\DefaultEntityListenerResolver
{
public function __construct($container)
{
$this->container = $container;
}
public function resolve($className)
{
// resolve the service id by the given class name;
$id = 'user_listener';
return $this->container->get($id);
}
}
// Configure the listener resolver only before instantiating the EntityManager
$configurations->setEntityListenerResolver(new MyEntityListenerResolver);
EntityManager::create(.., $configurations, ..);
Load ClassMetadata Event
------------------------
When the mapping information for an entity is read, it is populated
in to a ``ClassMetadataInfo`` instance. You can hook in to this
process and manipulate the instance.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$test = new TestEvent();
$metadataFactory = $em->getMetadataFactory();
$evm = $em->getEventManager();
$evm->addEventListener(Events::loadClassMetadata, $test);
class TestEvent
{
public function loadClassMetadata(\Doctrine\ORM\Event\LoadClassMetadataEventArgs $eventArgs)
{
$classMetadata = $eventArgs->getClassMetadata();
$fieldMapping = array(
'fieldName' => 'about',
'type' => 'string',
'length' => 255
);
$classMetadata->mapField($fieldMapping);
}
}

Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
.. note::
This FAQ is a work in progress. We will add lots of questions and not answer them right away just to remember
what is often asked. If you stumble across an unanswered question please write a mail to the mailing-list or
join the #doctrine channel on Freenode IRC.
Database Schema
---------------
How do I set the charset and collation for MySQL tables?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can't set these values inside the annotations, yml or xml mapping files. To make a database
work with the default charset and collation you should configure MySQL to use it as default charset,
or create the database with charset and collation details. This way they get inherited to all newly
created database tables and columns.
Entity Classes
--------------
How can I add default values to a column?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine does not support to set the default values in columns through the "DEFAULT" keyword in SQL.
This is not necessary however, you can just use your class properties as default values. These are then used
upon insert:
.. code-block:: php
class User
{
const STATUS_DISABLED = 0;
const STATUS_ENABLED = 1;
private $algorithm = "sha1";
private $status = self:STATUS_DISABLED;
}
.
Mapping
-------
Why do I get exceptions about unique constraint failures during ``$em->flush()``?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine does not check if you are re-adding entities with a primary key that already exists
or adding entities to a collection twice. You have to check for both conditions yourself
in the code before calling ``$em->flush()`` if you know that unique constraint failures
can occur.
In `Symfony2 <http://www.symfony.com>`_ for example there is a Unique Entity Validator
to achieve this task.
For collections you can check with ``$collection->contains($entity)`` if an entity is already
part of this collection. For a FETCH=LAZY collection this will initialize the collection,
however for FETCH=EXTRA_LAZY this method will use SQL to determine if this entity is already
part of the collection.
Associations
------------
What is wrong when I get an InvalidArgumentException "A new entity was found through the relationship.."?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This exception is thrown during ``EntityManager#flush()`` when there exists an object in the identity map
that contains a reference to an object that Doctrine does not know about. Say for example you grab
a "User"-entity from the database with a specific id and set a completely new object into one of the associations
of the User object. If you then call ``EntityManager#flush()`` without letting Doctrine know about
this new object using ``EntityManager#persist($newObject)`` you will see this exception.
You can solve this exception by:
* Calling ``EntityManager#persist($newObject)`` on the new object
* Using cascade=persist on the association that contains the new object
How can I filter an association?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Natively you can't filter associations in 2.0 and 2.1. You should use DQL queries to query for the filtered set of entities.
I call clear() on a One-To-Many collection but the entities are not deleted
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is an expected behavior that has to do with the inverse/owning side handling of Doctrine.
By definition a One-To-Many association is on the inverse side, that means changes to it
will not be recognized by Doctrine.
If you want to perform the equivalent of the clear operation you have to iterate the
collection and set the owning side many-to-one reference to NULL as well to detach all entities
from the collection. This will trigger the appropriate UPDATE statements on the database.
How can I add columns to a many-to-many table?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The many-to-many association is only supporting foreign keys in the table definition
To work with many-to-many tables containing extra columns you have to use the
foreign keys as primary keys feature of Doctrine introduced in version 2.1.
See :doc:`the tutorial on composite primary keys for more information<../tutorials/composite-primary-keys>`.
How can i paginate fetch-joined collections?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are issuing a DQL statement that fetches a collection as well you cannot easily iterate
over this collection using a LIMIT statement (or vendor equivalent).
Doctrine does not offer a solution for this out of the box but there are several extensions
that do:
* `DoctrineExtensions <http://github.com/beberlei/DoctrineExtensions>`_
* `Pagerfanta <http://github.com/whiteoctober/pagerfanta>`_
Why does pagination not work correctly with fetch joins?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pagination in Doctrine uses a LIMIT clause (or vendor equivalent) to restrict the results.
However when fetch-joining this is not returning the correct number of results since joining
with a one-to-many or many-to-many association multiplies the number of rows by the number
of associated entities.
See the previous question for a solution to this task.
Inheritance
-----------
Can I use Inheritance with Doctrine 2?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, you can use Single- or Joined-Table Inheritance in Doctrine 2.
See the documentation chapter on :doc:`inheritance mapping <inheritance-mapping>` for
the details.
Why does Doctrine not create proxy objects for my inheritance hierarchy?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you set a many-to-one or one-to-one association target-entity to any parent class of
an inheritance hierarchy Doctrine does not know what PHP class the foreign is actually of.
To find this out it has to execute a SQL query to look this information up in the database.
EntityGenerator
---------------
Why does the EntityGenerator not do X?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The EntityGenerator is not a full fledged code-generator that solves all tasks. Code-Generation
is not a first-class priority in Doctrine 2 anymore (compared to Doctrine 1). The EntityGenerator
is supposed to kick-start you, but not towards 100%.
Why does the EntityGenerator not generate inheritance correctly?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just from the details of the discriminator map the EntityGenerator cannot guess the inheritance hierarchy.
This is why the generation of inherited entities does not fully work. You have to adjust some additional
code to get this one working correctly.
Performance
-----------
Why is an extra SQL query executed every time I fetch an entity with a one-to-one relation?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Doctrine detects that you are fetching an inverse side one-to-one association
it has to execute an additional query to load this object, because it cannot know
if there is no such object (setting null) or if it should set a proxy and which id this proxy has.
To solve this problem currently a query has to be executed to find out this information.
Doctrine Query Language
-----------------------
What is DQL?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
DQL stands for Doctrine Query Language, a query language that very much looks like SQL
but has some important benefits when using Doctrine:
- It uses class names and fields instead of tables and columns, separating concerns between backend and your object model.
- It utilizes the metadata defined to offer a range of shortcuts when writing. For example you do not have to specify the ON clause of joins, since Doctrine already knows about them.
- It adds some functionality that is related to object management and transforms them into SQL.
It also has some drawbacks of course:
- The syntax is slightly different to SQL so you have to learn and remember the differences.
- To be vendor independent it can only implement a subset of all the existing SQL dialects. Vendor specific functionality and optimizations cannot be used through DQL unless implemented by you explicitly.
- For some DQL constructs subselects are used which are known to be slow in MySQL.
Can I sort by a function (for example ORDER BY RAND()) in DQL?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, it is not supported to sort by function in DQL. If you need this functionality you should either
use a native-query or come up with another solution. As a side note: Sorting with ORDER BY RAND() is painfully slow
starting with 1000 rows.
Is it better to write DQL or to generate it with the query builder?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The purpose of the ``QueryBuilder`` is to generate DQL dynamically,
which is useful when you have optional filters, conditional joins, etc.
But the ``QueryBuilder`` is not an alternative to DQL, it actually generates DQL
queries at runtime, which are then interpreted by Doctrine. This means that
using the ``QueryBuilder`` to build and run a query is actually always slower
than only running the corresponding DQL query.
So if you only need to generate a query and bind parameters to it,
you should use plain DQL, as this is a simpler and much more readable solution.
You should only use the ``QueryBuilder`` when you can't achieve what you want to do with a DQL query.
A Query fails, how can I debug it?
----------------------------------
First, if you are using the QueryBuilder you can use
``$queryBuilder->getDQL()`` to get the DQL string of this query. The
corresponding SQL you can get from the Query instance by calling
``$query->getSQL()``.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$dql = "SELECT u FROM User u";
$query = $entityManager->createQuery($dql);
var_dump($query->getSQL());
$qb = $entityManager->createQueryBuilder();
$qb->select('u')->from('User', 'u');
var_dump($qb->getDQL());

Filters
=======
.. versionadded:: 2.2
Doctrine 2.2 features a filter system that allows the developer to add SQL to
the conditional clauses of queries, regardless the place where the SQL is
generated (e.g. from a DQL query, or by loading associated entities).
The filter functionality works on SQL level. Whether a SQL query is generated
in a Persister, during lazy loading, in extra lazy collections or from DQL.
Each time the system iterates over all the enabled filters, adding a new SQL
part as a filter returns.
By adding SQL to the conditional clauses of queries, the filter system filters
out rows belonging to the entities at the level of the SQL result set. This
means that the filtered entities are never hydrated (which can be expensive).
Example filter class
--------------------
Throughout this document the example ``MyLocaleFilter`` class will be used to
illustrate how the filter feature works. A filter class must extend the base
``Doctrine\ORM\Query\Filter\SQLFilter`` class and implement the ``addFilterConstraint``
method. The method receives the ``ClassMetadata`` of the filtered entity and the
table alias of the SQL table of the entity.
.. note::
In the case of joined or single table inheritance, you always get passed the ClassMetadata of the
inheritance root. This is necessary to avoid edge cases that would break the SQL when applying the filters.
Parameters for the query should be set on the filter object by
``SQLFilter#setParameter()``. Only parameters set via this function can be used
in filters. The ``SQLFilter#getParameter()`` function takes care of the
proper quoting of parameters.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace Example;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata,
Doctrine\ORM\Query\Filter\SQLFilter;
class MyLocaleFilter extends SQLFilter
{
public function addFilterConstraint(ClassMetadata $targetEntity, $targetTableAlias)
{
// Check if the entity implements the LocalAware interface
if (!$targetEntity->reflClass->implementsInterface('LocaleAware')) {
return "";
}
return $targetTableAlias.'.locale = ' . $this->getParameter('locale'); // getParameter applies quoting automatically
}
}
Configuration
-------------
Filter classes are added to the configuration as following:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config->addFilter("locale", "\Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Functional\MyLocaleFilter");
The ``Configuration#addFilter()`` method takes a name for the filter and the name of the
class responsible for the actual filtering.
Disabling/Enabling Filters and Setting Parameters
---------------------------------------------------
Filters can be disabled and enabled via the ``FilterCollection`` which is
stored in the ``EntityManager``. The ``FilterCollection#enable($name)`` method
will retrieve the filter object. You can set the filter parameters on that
object.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$filter = $em->getFilters()->enable("locale");
$filter->setParameter('locale', 'en');
// Disable it
$filter = $em->getFilters()->disable("locale");
.. warning::
Disabling and enabling filters has no effect on managed entities. If you
want to refresh or reload an object after having modified a filter or the
FilterCollection, then you should clear the EntityManager and re-fetch your
entities, having the new rules for filtering applied.

Improving Performance
=====================
Bytecode Cache
--------------
It is highly recommended to make use of a bytecode cache like OPcache.
A bytecode cache removes the need for parsing PHP code on every
request and can greatly improve performance.
"If you care about performance and don't use a bytecode
cache then you don't really care about performance. Please get one
and start using it."
*Stas Malyshev, Core Contributor to PHP and Zend Employee*
Metadata and Query caches
-------------------------
As already mentioned earlier in the chapter about configuring
Doctrine, it is strongly discouraged to use Doctrine without a
Metadata and Query cache.
Operating Doctrine without these caches means
Doctrine will need to load your mapping information on every single
request and has to parse each DQL query on every single request.
This is a waste of resources.
The preferred cache driver for metadata and query caches is ``PhpFileCache``.
This driver serializes cache items and writes them to a file.
This allows for opcode caching to be used and provides high performance in most scenarios.
See :ref:`integrating-with-the-orm`
Alternative Query Result Formats
--------------------------------
Make effective use of the available alternative query result
formats like nested array graphs or pure scalar results, especially
in scenarios where data is loaded for read-only purposes.
Read-Only Entities
------------------
Starting with Doctrine 2.1 you can mark entities as read only (See metadata mapping
references for details). This means that the entity marked as read only is never considered
for updates, which means when you call flush on the EntityManager these entities are skipped
even if properties changed. Read-Only allows to persist new entities of a kind and remove existing
ones, they are just not considered for updates.
See :ref:`annref_entity`
Extra-Lazy Collections
----------------------
If entities hold references to large collections you will get performance and memory problems initializing them.
To solve this issue you can use the EXTRA_LAZY fetch-mode feature for collections. See the :doc:`tutorial <../tutorials/extra-lazy-associations>`
for more information on how this fetch mode works.
Temporarily change fetch mode in DQL
------------------------------------
See :ref:`dql-temporarily-change-fetch-mode`
Apply Best Practices
--------------------
A lot of the points mentioned in the Best Practices chapter will
also positively affect the performance of Doctrine.

Inheritance Mapping
===================
Mapped Superclasses
-------------------
A mapped superclass is an abstract or concrete class that provides
persistent entity state and mapping information for its subclasses,
but which is not itself an entity. Typically, the purpose of such a
mapped superclass is to define state and mapping information that
is common to multiple entity classes.
Mapped superclasses, just as regular, non-mapped classes, can
appear in the middle of an otherwise mapped inheritance hierarchy
(through Single Table Inheritance or Class Table Inheritance).
.. note::
A mapped superclass cannot be an entity, it is not query-able and
persistent relationships defined by a mapped superclass must be
unidirectional (with an owning side only). This means that One-To-Many
associations are not possible on a mapped superclass at all.
Furthermore Many-To-Many associations are only possible if the
mapped superclass is only used in exactly one entity at the moment.
For further support of inheritance, the single or
joined table inheritance features have to be used.
Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/** @MappedSuperclass */
class MappedSuperclassBase
{
/** @Column(type="integer") */
protected $mapped1;
/** @Column(type="string") */
protected $mapped2;
/**
* @OneToOne(targetEntity="MappedSuperclassRelated1")
* @JoinColumn(name="related1_id", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
protected $mappedRelated1;
// ... more fields and methods
}
/** @Entity */
class EntitySubClass extends MappedSuperclassBase
{
/** @Id @Column(type="integer") */
private $id;
/** @Column(type="string") */
private $name;
// ... more fields and methods
}
The DDL for the corresponding database schema would look something
like this (this is for SQLite):
.. code-block:: sql
CREATE TABLE EntitySubClass (mapped1 INTEGER NOT NULL, mapped2 TEXT NOT NULL, id INTEGER NOT NULL, name TEXT NOT NULL, related1_id INTEGER DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(id))
As you can see from this DDL snippet, there is only a single table
for the entity subclass. All the mappings from the mapped
superclass were inherited to the subclass as if they had been
defined on that class directly.
Single Table Inheritance
------------------------
`Single Table Inheritance <http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/singleTableInheritance.html>`_
is an inheritance mapping strategy where all classes of a hierarchy
are mapped to a single database table. In order to distinguish
which row represents which type in the hierarchy a so-called
discriminator column is used.
Example:
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace MyProject\Model;
/**
* @Entity
* @InheritanceType("SINGLE_TABLE")
* @DiscriminatorColumn(name="discr", type="string")
* @DiscriminatorMap({"person" = "Person", "employee" = "Employee"})
*/
class Person
{
// ...
}
/**
* @Entity
*/
class Employee extends Person
{
// ...
}
.. code-block:: yaml
MyProject\Model\Person:
type: entity
inheritanceType: SINGLE_TABLE
discriminatorColumn:
name: discr
type: string
discriminatorMap:
person: Person
employee: Employee
MyProject\Model\Employee:
type: entity
Things to note:
- The @InheritanceType and @DiscriminatorColumn must be specified
on the topmost class that is part of the mapped entity hierarchy.
- The @DiscriminatorMap specifies which values of the
discriminator column identify a row as being of a certain type. In
the case above a value of "person" identifies a row as being of
type ``Person`` and "employee" identifies a row as being of type
``Employee``.
- All entity classes that is part of the mapped entity hierarchy
(including the topmost class) should be specified in the
@DiscriminatorMap. In the case above Person class included.
- The names of the classes in the discriminator map do not need to
be fully qualified if the classes are contained in the same
namespace as the entity class on which the discriminator map is
applied.
- If no discriminator map is provided, then the map is generated
automatically. The automatically generated discriminator map
contains the lowercase short name of each class as key.
Design-time considerations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mapping approach works well when the type hierarchy is fairly
simple and stable. Adding a new type to the hierarchy and adding
fields to existing supertypes simply involves adding new columns to
the table, though in large deployments this may have an adverse
impact on the index and column layout inside the database.
Performance impact
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This strategy is very efficient for querying across all types in
the hierarchy or for specific types. No table joins are required,
only a WHERE clause listing the type identifiers. In particular,
relationships involving types that employ this mapping strategy are
very performing.
There is a general performance consideration with Single Table
Inheritance: If the target-entity of a many-to-one or one-to-one
association is an STI entity, it is preferable for performance reasons that it
be a leaf entity in the inheritance hierarchy, (ie. have no subclasses).
Otherwise Doctrine *CANNOT* create proxy instances
of this entity and will *ALWAYS* load the entity eagerly.
SQL Schema considerations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Single-Table-Inheritance to work in scenarios where you are
using either a legacy database schema or a self-written database
schema you have to make sure that all columns that are not in the
root entity but in any of the different sub-entities has to allow
null values. Columns that have NOT NULL constraints have to be on
the root entity of the single-table inheritance hierarchy.
Class Table Inheritance
-----------------------
`Class Table Inheritance <http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/classTableInheritance.html>`_
is an inheritance mapping strategy where each class in a hierarchy
is mapped to several tables: its own table and the tables of all
parent classes. The table of a child class is linked to the table
of a parent class through a foreign key constraint. Doctrine 2
implements this strategy through the use of a discriminator column
in the topmost table of the hierarchy because this is the easiest
way to achieve polymorphic queries with Class Table Inheritance.
Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace MyProject\Model;
/**
* @Entity
* @InheritanceType("JOINED")
* @DiscriminatorColumn(name="discr", type="string")
* @DiscriminatorMap({"person" = "Person", "employee" = "Employee"})
*/
class Person
{
// ...
}
/** @Entity */
class Employee extends Person
{
// ...
}
Things to note:
- The @InheritanceType, @DiscriminatorColumn and @DiscriminatorMap
must be specified on the topmost class that is part of the mapped
entity hierarchy.
- The @DiscriminatorMap specifies which values of the
discriminator column identify a row as being of which type. In the
case above a value of "person" identifies a row as being of type
``Person`` and "employee" identifies a row as being of type
``Employee``.
- The names of the classes in the discriminator map do not need to
be fully qualified if the classes are contained in the same
namespace as the entity class on which the discriminator map is
applied.
- If no discriminator map is provided, then the map is generated
automatically. The automatically generated discriminator map
contains the lowercase short name of each class as key.
.. note::
When you do not use the SchemaTool to generate the
required SQL you should know that deleting a class table
inheritance makes use of the foreign key property
``ON DELETE CASCADE`` in all database implementations. A failure to
implement this yourself will lead to dead rows in the database.
Design-time considerations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introducing a new type to the hierarchy, at any level, simply
involves interjecting a new table into the schema. Subtypes of that
type will automatically join with that new type at runtime.
Similarly, modifying any entity type in the hierarchy by adding,
modifying or removing fields affects only the immediate table
mapped to that type. This mapping strategy provides the greatest
flexibility at design time, since changes to any type are always
limited to that type's dedicated table.
Performance impact
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This strategy inherently requires multiple JOIN operations to
perform just about any query which can have a negative impact on
performance, especially with large tables and/or large hierarchies.
When partial objects are allowed, either globally or on the
specific query, then querying for any type will not cause the
tables of subtypes to be OUTER JOINed which can increase
performance but the resulting partial objects will not fully load
themselves on access of any subtype fields, so accessing fields of
subtypes after such a query is not safe.
There is a general performance consideration with Class Table
Inheritance: If the target-entity of a many-to-one or one-to-one
association is a CTI entity, it is preferable for performance reasons that it
be a leaf entity in the inheritance hierarchy, (ie. have no subclasses).
Otherwise Doctrine *CANNOT* create proxy instances
of this entity and will *ALWAYS* load the entity eagerly.
SQL Schema considerations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For each entity in the Class-Table Inheritance hierarchy all the
mapped fields have to be columns on the table of this entity.
Additionally each child table has to have an id column that matches
the id column definition on the root table (except for any sequence
or auto-increment details). Furthermore each child table has to
have a foreign key pointing from the id column to the root table id
column and cascading on delete.
.. _inheritence_mapping_overrides:
Overrides
---------
Used to override a mapping for an entity field or relationship. Can only be
applied to an entity that extends a mapped superclass or uses a trait to
override a relationship or field mapping defined by the mapped superclass or
trait.
It is not possible to override attributes or associations in entity to entity
inheritance scenarios, because this can cause unforseen edge case behavior and
increases complexity in ORM internal classes.
Association Override
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Override a mapping for an entity relationship.
Could be used by an entity that extends a mapped superclass
to override a relationship mapping defined by the mapped superclass.
Example:
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// user mapping
namespace MyProject\Model;
/**
* @MappedSuperclass
*/
class User
{
//other fields mapping
/**
* @ManyToMany(targetEntity="Group", inversedBy="users")
* @JoinTable(name="users_groups",
* joinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id")},
* inverseJoinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="group_id", referencedColumnName="id")}
* )
*/
protected $groups;
/**
* @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Address")
* @JoinColumn(name="address_id", referencedColumnName="id")
*/
protected $address;
}
// admin mapping
namespace MyProject\Model;
/**
* @Entity
* @AssociationOverrides({
* @AssociationOverride(name="groups",
* joinTable=@JoinTable(
* name="users_admingroups",
* joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="adminuser_id"),
* inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="admingroup_id")
* )
* ),
* @AssociationOverride(name="address",
* joinColumns=@JoinColumn(
* name="adminaddress_id", referencedColumnName="id"
* )
* )
* })
*/
class Admin extends User
{
}

Things to note:
- The "association override" specifies the overrides base on the property name.
- This feature is available for all kind of associations. (OneToOne, OneToMany, ManyToOne, ManyToMany)
- The association type *CANNOT* be changed.
- The override could redefine the joinTables or joinColumns depending on the association type.
- The override could redefine inversedBy to reference more than one extended entity.
- The override could redefine fetch to modify the fetch strategy of the extended entity.
Attribute Override
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Override the mapping of a field.
Could be used by an entity that extends a mapped superclass to override a field mapping defined by the mapped superclass.
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// user mapping
namespace MyProject\Model;
/**
* @MappedSuperclass
*/
class User
{
/** @Id @GeneratedValue @Column(type="integer", name="user_id", length=150) */
protected $id;
/** @Column(name="user_name", nullable=true, unique=false, length=250) */
protected $name;
// other fields mapping
}
// guest mapping
namespace MyProject\Model;
/**

</attribute-override>
</attribute-overrides>
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml

attributeOverride:
id:
column: guest_id
type: integer
length: 140
name:
column: guest_name
type: string
length: 240
nullable: false
unique: true
Things to note:
- The "attribute override" specifies the overrides base on the property name.
- The column type *CANNOT* be changed. If the column type is not equal you get a ``MappingException``
- The override can redefine all the attributes except the type.
Query the Type
--------------
It may happen that the entities of a special type should be queried. Because there
is no direct access to the discriminator column, Doctrine provides the
``INSTANCE OF`` construct.
The following example shows how to use ``INSTANCE OF``. There is a three level hierarchy
with a base entity ``NaturalPerson`` which is extended by ``Staff`` which in turn
is extended by ``Technician``.
Querying for the staffs without getting any technicians can be achieved by this DQL:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$query = $em->createQuery("SELECT staff FROM MyProject\Model\Staff staff WHERE staff NOT INSTANCE OF MyProject\Model\Technician");
$staffs = $query->getResult();

Limitations and Known Issues
============================
We try to make using Doctrine2 a very pleasant experience.
Therefore we think it is very important to be honest about the
current limitations to our users. Much like every other piece of
software Doctrine2 is not perfect and far from feature complete.
This section should give you an overview of current limitations of
Doctrine 2 as well as critical known issues that you should know
about.
Current Limitations
-------------------
There is a set of limitations that exist currently which might be
solved in the future. Any of this limitations now stated has at
least one ticket in the Tracker and is discussed for future
releases.
Join-Columns with non-primary keys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not possible to use join columns pointing to non-primary keys. Doctrine will think these are the primary
keys and create lazy-loading proxies with the data, which can lead to unexpected results. Doctrine can for performance
reasons not validate the correctness of this settings at runtime but only through the Validate Schema command.
Mapping Arrays to a Join Table
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Related to the previous limitation with "Foreign Keys as
Identifier" you might be interested in mapping the same table
structure as given above to an array. However this is not yet
possible either. See the following example:
.. code-block:: sql
CREATE TABLE product (
id INTEGER,
name VARCHAR,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
);
CREATE TABLE product_attributes (
product_id INTEGER,
attribute_name VARCHAR,
attribute_value VARCHAR,
PRIMARY KEY (product_id, attribute_name)
);
This schema should be mapped to a Product Entity as follows:
.. code-block:: php
class Product
{
private $id;
private $name;
private $attributes = array();
}
Where the ``attribute_name`` column contains the key and
``attribute_value`` contains the value of each array element in
``$attributes``.
The feature request for persistence of primitive value arrays
`is described in the DDC-298 ticket <https://github.com/doctrine/orm/issues/3743>`_.
Cascade Merge with Bi-directional Associations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two bugs now that concern the use of cascade merge in combination with bi-directional associations.
Make sure to study the behavior of cascade merge if you are using it:
- `DDC-875 <https://github.com/doctrine/orm/issues/5398>`_ Merge can sometimes add the same entity twice into a collection
- `DDC-763 <https://github.com/doctrine/orm/issues/5277>`_ Cascade merge on associated entities can insert too many rows through "Persistence by Reachability"
Custom Persisters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Persister in Doctrine is an object that is responsible for the
hydration and write operations of an entity against the database.
Currently there is no way to overwrite the persister implementation
for a given entity, however there are several use-cases that can
benefit from custom persister implementations:
- `Add Upsert Support <https://github.com/doctrine/orm/issues/5178>`_
- `Evaluate possible ways in which stored-procedures can be used <https://github.com/doctrine/orm/issues/4946>`_
Persist Keys of Collections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PHP Arrays are ordered hash-maps and so should be the
``Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection`` interface. We plan to
evaluate a feature that optionally persists and hydrates the keys
of a Collection instance.
`Ticket DDC-213 <https://github.com/doctrine/orm/issues/2817>`_
Mapping many tables to one entity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is not possible to map several equally looking tables onto one
entity. For example if you have a production and an archive table
of a certain business concept then you cannot have both tables map
to the same entity.
Behaviors
~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine 2 will **never** include a behavior system like Doctrine 1
in the core library. We don't think behaviors add more value than
they cost pain and debugging hell. Please see the many different
blog posts we have written on this topics:
- `Doctrine2 "Behaviors" in a Nutshell <http://www.doctrine-project.org/2010/02/17/doctrine2-behaviours-nutshell.html>`_
- `A re-usable Versionable behavior for Doctrine2 <http://www.doctrine-project.org/2010/02/24/doctrine2-versionable.html>`_
- `Write your own ORM on top of Doctrine2 <http://www.doctrine-project.org/2010/07/19/your-own-orm-doctrine2.html>`_
- `Doctrine 2 Behavioral Extensions <http://www.doctrine-project.org/2010/11/18/doctrine2-behavioral-extensions.html>`_
Doctrine 2 has enough hooks and extension points so that **you** can
add whatever you want on top of it. None of this will ever become
core functionality of Doctrine2 however, you will have to rely on
third party extensions for magical behaviors.
Nested Set
~~~~~~~~~~
NestedSet was offered as a behavior in Doctrine 1 and will not be
included in the core of Doctrine 2. However there are already two
extensions out there that offer support for Nested Set with
Doctrine 2:
- `Doctrine2 Hierarchical-Structural Behavior <http://github.com/guilhermeblanco/Doctrine2-Hierarchical-Structural-Behavior>`_
- `Doctrine2 NestedSet <http://github.com/blt04/doctrine2-nestedset>`_
Known Issues
------------
The Known Issues section describes critical/blocker bugs and other
issues that are either complicated to fix, not fixable due to
backwards compatibility issues or where no simple fix exists (yet).
We don't plan to add every bug in the tracker there, just those
issues that can potentially cause nightmares or pain of any sort.
See bugs, improvement and feature requests on `Github issues <https://github.com/doctrine/orm/issues>`_.
Identifier Quoting and Legacy Databases
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For compatibility reasons between all the supported vendors and
edge case problems Doctrine 2 does **NOT** do automatic identifier
quoting. This can lead to problems when trying to get
legacy-databases to work with Doctrine 2.
- You can quote column-names as described in the
:doc:`Basic-Mapping <basic-mapping>` section.
- You cannot quote join column names.
- You cannot use non [a-zA-Z0-9\_]+ characters, they will break
several SQL statements.
Having problems with these kind of column names? Many databases
support all CRUD operations on views that semantically map to
certain tables. You can create views for all your problematic
tables and column names to avoid the legacy quoting nightmare.
Microsoft SQL Server and Doctrine "datetime"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine assumes that you use ``DateTime2`` data-types. If your legacy database contains DateTime
datatypes then you have to add your own data-type (see Basic Mapping for an example).
MySQL with MyISAM tables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine cannot provide atomic operations when calling ``EntityManager#flush()`` if one
of the tables involved uses the storage engine MyISAM. You must use InnoDB or
other storage engines that support transactions if you need integrity.
Entities, Proxies and Reflection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using methods for Reflection on entities can be prone to error, when the entity
is actually a proxy the following methods will not work correctly:
- ``new ReflectionClass``
- ``new ReflectionObject``
- ``get_class()``
- ``get_parent_class()``
This is why ``Doctrine\Common\Util\ClassUtils`` class exists that has similar
methods, which resolve the proxy problem beforehand.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\Common\Util\ClassUtils;
$bookProxy = $entityManager->getReference('Acme\Book');
$reflection = ClassUtils::newReflectionClass($bookProxy);
$class = ClassUtils::getClass($bookProxy)¸

Metadata Drivers
================
The heart of an object relational mapper is the mapping information
that glues everything together. It instructs the EntityManager how
it should behave when dealing with the different entities.
Core Metadata Drivers
---------------------
Doctrine provides a few different ways for you to specify your
metadata:
- **XML files** (XmlDriver)
- **Class DocBlock Annotations** (AnnotationDriver)
- **YAML files** (YamlDriver)
- **PHP Code in files or static functions** (PhpDriver)
Something important to note about the above drivers is they are all
an intermediate step to the same end result. The mapping
information is populated to ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata``
instances. So in the end, Doctrine only ever has to work with the
API of the ``ClassMetadata`` class to get mapping information for
an entity.
.. note::
The populated ``ClassMetadata`` instances are also cached
so in a production environment the parsing and populating only ever
happens once. You can configure the metadata cache implementation
using the ``setMetadataCacheImpl()`` method on the
``Doctrine\ORM\Configuration`` class:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$em->getConfiguration()->setMetadataCacheImpl(new ApcuCache());
If you want to use one of the included core metadata drivers you
just need to configure it. All the drivers are in the
``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver`` namespace:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$driver = new \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\XmlDriver('/path/to/mapping/files');
$em->getConfiguration()->setMetadataDriverImpl($driver);
Implementing Metadata Drivers
-----------------------------
In addition to the included metadata drivers you can very easily
implement your own. All you need to do is define a class which
implements the ``Driver`` interface:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo;
interface Driver
{
/**
* Loads the metadata for the specified class into the provided container.
*
* @param string $className
* @param ClassMetadataInfo $metadata
*/
function loadMetadataForClass($className, ClassMetadataInfo $metadata);
/**
* Gets the names of all mapped classes known to this driver.
*
* @return array The names of all mapped classes known to this driver.
*/
function getAllClassNames();
/**
* Whether the class with the specified name should have its metadata loaded.
* This is only the case if it is either mapped as an Entity or a
* MappedSuperclass.
*
* @param string $className
* @return boolean
*/
function isTransient($className);
}
If you want to write a metadata driver to parse information from
some file format we've made your life a little easier by providing
the ``AbstractFileDriver`` implementation for you to extend from:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class MyMetadataDriver extends AbstractFileDriver
{
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
protected $_fileExtension = '.dcm.ext';
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function loadMetadataForClass($className, ClassMetadataInfo $metadata)
{
$data = $this->_loadMappingFile($file);
// populate ClassMetadataInfo instance from $data
}
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
protected function _loadMappingFile($file)
{
// parse contents of $file and return php data structure
}
}
.. note::
When using the ``AbstractFileDriver`` it requires that you
only have one entity defined per file and the file named after the
class described inside where namespace separators are replaced by
periods. So if you have an entity named ``Entities\User`` and you
wanted to write a mapping file for your driver above you would need
to name the file ``Entities.User.dcm.ext`` for it to be
recognized.
Now you can use your ``MyMetadataDriver`` implementation by setting
it with the ``setMetadataDriverImpl()`` method:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$driver = new MyMetadataDriver('/path/to/mapping/files');
$em->getConfiguration()->setMetadataDriverImpl($driver);
ClassMetadata
-------------
The last piece you need to know and understand about metadata in
Doctrine 2 is the API of the ``ClassMetadata`` classes. You need to
be familiar with them in order to implement your own drivers but
more importantly to retrieve mapping information for a certain
entity when needed.
You have all the methods you need to manually specify the mapping
information instead of using some mapping file to populate it from.
The base ``ClassMetadataInfo`` class is responsible for only data
storage and is not meant for runtime use. It does not require that
the class actually exists yet so it is useful for describing some
entity before it exists and using that information to generate for
example the entities themselves. The class ``ClassMetadata``
extends ``ClassMetadataInfo`` and adds some functionality required
for runtime usage and requires that the PHP class is present and
can be autoloaded.
You can read more about the API of the ``ClassMetadata`` classes in
the PHP Mapping chapter.
Getting ClassMetadata Instances
-------------------------------
If you want to get the ``ClassMetadata`` instance for an entity in
your project to programmatically use some mapping information to
generate some HTML or something similar you can retrieve it through
the ``ClassMetadataFactory``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cmf = $em->getMetadataFactory();
$class = $cmf->getMetadataFor('MyEntityName');
Now you can learn about the entity and use the data stored in the
``ClassMetadata`` instance to get all mapped fields for example and
iterate over them:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
foreach ($class->fieldMappings as $fieldMapping) {
echo $fieldMapping['fieldName'] . "\n";
}

Implementing a NamingStrategy
==============================
.. versionadded:: 2.3
Using a naming strategy you can provide rules for generating database identifiers,
column or table names. This feature helps
reduce the verbosity of the mapping document, eliminating repetitive noise (eg: ``TABLE_``).
.. warning
The naming strategy is always overridden by entity mapping such as the `Table` annotation.
Configuring a naming strategy
-----------------------------
The default strategy used by Doctrine is quite minimal.
By default the ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\DefaultNamingStrategy``
uses the simple class name and the attribute names to generate tables and columns.
You can specify a different strategy by calling ``Doctrine\ORM\Configuration#setNamingStrategy()``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$namingStrategy = new MyNamingStrategy();
$configuration->setNamingStrategy($namingStrategy);
Underscore naming strategy
---------------------------
``\Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\UnderscoreNamingStrategy`` is a built-in strategy.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$namingStrategy = new \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\UnderscoreNamingStrategy(CASE_UPPER);
$configuration->setNamingStrategy($namingStrategy);
For SomeEntityName the strategy will generate the table SOME_ENTITY_NAME with the
``CASE_UPPER`` option, or some_entity_name with the ``CASE_LOWER`` option.
Naming strategy interface
-------------------------
The interface ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\NamingStrategy`` allows you to specify
a naming strategy for database tables and columns.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* Return a table name for an entity class
*
* @param string $className The fully-qualified class name
* @return string A table name
*/
function classToTableName($className);
/**
* Return a column name for a property
*
* @param string $propertyName A property
* @return string A column name
*/
function propertyToColumnName($propertyName);
/**
* Return the default reference column name
*
* @return string A column name
*/
function referenceColumnName();
/**
* Return a join column name for a property
*
* @param string $propertyName A property
* @return string A join column name
*/
function joinColumnName($propertyName, $className = null);
/**
* Return a join table name
*
* @param string $sourceEntity The source entity
* @param string $targetEntity The target entity
* @param string $propertyName A property
* @return string A join table name
*/
function joinTableName($sourceEntity, $targetEntity, $propertyName = null);
/**
* Return the foreign key column name for the given parameters
*
* @param string $entityName A entity
* @param string $referencedColumnName A property
* @return string A join column name
*/
function joinKeyColumnName($entityName, $referencedColumnName = null);
Implementing a naming strategy
-------------------------------
If you have database naming standards, like all table names should be prefixed
by the application prefix, all column names should be lower case, you can easily
achieve such standards by implementing a naming strategy.
You need to create a class which implements ``Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\NamingStrategy``.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class MyAppNamingStrategy implements NamingStrategy
{
public function classToTableName($className)
{
return 'MyApp_' . substr($className, strrpos($className, '\\') + 1);
}
public function propertyToColumnName($propertyName)
{
return $propertyName;
}
public function referenceColumnName()
{
return 'id';
}
public function joinColumnName($propertyName, $className = null)
{
return $propertyName . '_' . $this->referenceColumnName();
}
public function joinTableName($sourceEntity, $targetEntity, $propertyName = null)
{
return strtolower($this->classToTableName($sourceEntity) . '_' .
$this->classToTableName($targetEntity));
}
public function joinKeyColumnName($entityName, $referencedColumnName = null)
{
return strtolower($this->classToTableName($entityName) . '_' .
($referencedColumnName ?: $this->referenceColumnName()));
}
}

Native SQL
==========
With ``NativeQuery`` you can execute native SELECT SQL statements
and map the results to Doctrine entities or any other result format
supported by Doctrine.
In order to make this mapping possible, you need to describe
to Doctrine what columns in the result map to which entity property.
This description is represented by a ``ResultSetMapping`` object.
With this feature you can map arbitrary SQL code to objects, such as highly
vendor-optimized SQL or stored-procedures.
Writing ``ResultSetMapping`` from scratch is complex, but there is a convenience
wrapper around it called a ``ResultSetMappingBuilder``. It can generate
the mappings for you based on Entities and even generates the ``SELECT``
clause based on this information for you.
.. note::
If you want to execute DELETE, UPDATE or INSERT statements
the Native SQL API cannot be used and will probably throw errors.
Use ``EntityManager#getConnection()`` to access the native database
connection and call the ``executeUpdate()`` method for these
queries.
The NativeQuery class
---------------------
To create a ``NativeQuery`` you use the method
``EntityManager#createNativeQuery($sql, $resultSetMapping)``. As you can see in
the signature of this method, it expects 2 ingredients: The SQL you want to
execute and the ``ResultSetMapping`` that describes how the results will be
mapped.
Once you obtained an instance of a ``NativeQuery``, you can bind parameters to
it with the same API that ``Query`` has and execute it.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\ResultSetMapping;
$rsm = new ResultSetMapping();
// build rsm here
$query = $entityManager->createNativeQuery('SELECT id, name, discr FROM users WHERE name = ?', $rsm);
$query->setParameter(1, 'romanb');
$users = $query->getResult();
ResultSetMappingBuilder
-----------------------
An easy start into ResultSet mapping is the ``ResultSetMappingBuilder`` object.
This has several benefits:
- The builder takes care of automatically updating your ``ResultSetMapping``
when the fields or associations change on the metadata of an entity.
- You can generate the required ``SELECT`` expression for a builder
by converting it to a string.
- The API is much simpler than the usual ``ResultSetMapping`` API.
One downside is that the builder API does not yet support entities
with inheritance hierarchies.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\ResultSetMappingBuilder;
$sql = "SELECT u.id, u.name, a.id AS address_id, a.street, a.city " .
"FROM users u INNER JOIN address a ON u.address_id = a.id";
$rsm = new ResultSetMappingBuilder($entityManager);
$rsm->addRootEntityFromClassMetadata('MyProject\User', 'u');
$rsm->addJoinedEntityFromClassMetadata('MyProject\Address', 'a', 'u', 'address', array('id' => 'address_id'));
The builder extends the ``ResultSetMapping`` class and as such has all the functionality of it as well.
.. versionadded:: 2.4
Starting with Doctrine ORM 2.4 you can generate the ``SELECT`` clause
from a ``ResultSetMappingBuilder``. You can either cast the builder
object to ``(string)`` and the DQL aliases are used as SQL table aliases
or use the ``generateSelectClause($tableAliases)`` method and pass
a mapping from DQL alias (key) to SQL alias (value)
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$selectClause = $rsm->generateSelectClause(array(
'u' => 't1',
'g' => 't2'
));
$sql = "SELECT " . $selectClause . " FROM users t1 JOIN groups t2 ON t1.group_id = t2.id";
The ResultSetMapping
--------------------
Understanding the ``ResultSetMapping`` is the key to using a
``NativeQuery``. A Doctrine result can contain the following
components:
- Entity results. These represent root result elements.
- Joined entity results. These represent joined entities in
associations of root entity results.
- Field results. These represent a column in the result set that
maps to a field of an entity. A field result always belongs to an
entity result or joined entity result.
- Scalar results. These represent scalar values in the result set
that will appear in each result row. Adding scalar results to a
ResultSetMapping can also cause the overall result to become
**mixed** (see DQL - Doctrine Query Language) if the same
ResultSetMapping also contains entity results.
- Meta results. These represent columns that contain
meta-information, such as foreign keys and discriminator columns.
When querying for objects (``getResult()``), all meta columns of
root entities or joined entities must be present in the SQL query
and mapped accordingly using ``ResultSetMapping#addMetaResult``.
.. note::
It might not surprise you that Doctrine uses
``ResultSetMapping`` internally when you create DQL queries. As
the query gets parsed and transformed to SQL, Doctrine fills a
``ResultSetMapping`` that describes how the results should be
processed by the hydration routines.
We will now look at each of the result types that can appear in a
ResultSetMapping in detail.
Entity results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An entity result describes an entity type that appears as a root
element in the transformed result. You add an entity result through
``ResultSetMapping#addEntityResult()``. Let's take a look at the
method signature in detail:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* Adds an entity result to this ResultSetMapping.
*
* @param string $class The class name of the entity.
* @param string $alias The alias for the class. The alias must be unique among all entity
* results or joined entity results within this ResultSetMapping.
*/
public function addEntityResult($class, $alias)
The first parameter is the fully qualified name of the entity
class. The second parameter is some arbitrary alias for this entity
result that must be unique within a ``ResultSetMapping``. You use
this alias to attach field results to the entity result. It is very
similar to an identification variable that you use in DQL to alias
classes or relationships.
An entity result alone is not enough to form a valid
``ResultSetMapping``. An entity result or joined entity result
always needs a set of field results, which we will look at soon.
Joined entity results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A joined entity result describes an entity type that appears as a
joined relationship element in the transformed result, attached to
a (root) entity result. You add a joined entity result through
``ResultSetMapping#addJoinedEntityResult()``. Let's take a look at
the method signature in detail:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* Adds a joined entity result.
*
* @param string $class The class name of the joined entity.
* @param string $alias The unique alias to use for the joined entity.
* @param string $parentAlias The alias of the entity result that is the parent of this joined result.
* @param object $relation The association field that connects the parent entity result with the joined entity result.
*/
public function addJoinedEntityResult($class, $alias, $parentAlias, $relation)
The first parameter is the class name of the joined entity. The
second parameter is an arbitrary alias for the joined entity that
must be unique within the ``ResultSetMapping``. You use this alias
to attach field results to the entity result. The third parameter
is the alias of the entity result that is the parent type of the
joined relationship. The fourth and last parameter is the name of
the field on the parent entity result that should contain the
joined entity result.
Field results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A field result describes the mapping of a single column in a SQL
result set to a field in an entity. As such, field results are
inherently bound to entity results. You add a field result through
``ResultSetMapping#addFieldResult()``. Again, let's examine the
method signature in detail:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* Adds a field result that is part of an entity result or joined entity result.
*
* @param string $alias The alias of the entity result or joined entity result.
* @param string $columnName The name of the column in the SQL result set.
* @param string $fieldName The name of the field on the (joined) entity.
*/
public function addFieldResult($alias, $columnName, $fieldName)
The first parameter is the alias of the entity result to which the
field result will belong. The second parameter is the name of the
column in the SQL result set. Note that this name is case
sensitive, i.e. if you use a native query against Oracle it must be
all uppercase. The third parameter is the name of the field on the
entity result identified by ``$alias`` into which the value of the
column should be set.
Scalar results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A scalar result describes the mapping of a single column in a SQL
result set to a scalar value in the Doctrine result. Scalar results
are typically used for aggregate values but any column in the SQL
result set can be mapped as a scalar value. To add a scalar result
use ``ResultSetMapping#addScalarResult()``. The method signature in
detail:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* Adds a scalar result mapping.
*
* @param string $columnName The name of the column in the SQL result set.
* @param string $alias The result alias with which the scalar result should be placed in the result structure.
*/
public function addScalarResult($columnName, $alias)
The first parameter is the name of the column in the SQL result set
and the second parameter is the result alias under which the value
of the column will be placed in the transformed Doctrine result.
Meta results
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A meta result describes a single column in a SQL result set that
is either a foreign key or a discriminator column. These columns
are essential for Doctrine to properly construct objects out of SQL
result sets. To add a column as a meta result use
``ResultSetMapping#addMetaResult()``. The method signature in
detail:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* Adds a meta column (foreign key or discriminator column) to the result set.
*
* @param string $alias
* @param string $columnAlias
* @param string $columnName
* @param boolean $isIdentifierColumn
*/
public function addMetaResult($alias, $columnAlias, $columnName, $isIdentifierColumn = false)
The first parameter is the alias of the entity result to which the
meta column belongs. A meta result column (foreign key or
discriminator column) always belongs to an entity result. The
second parameter is the column alias/name of the column in the SQL
result set and the third parameter is the column name used in the
mapping.
The fourth parameter should be set to true in case the primary key
of the entity is the foreign key you're adding.
Discriminator Column
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When joining an inheritance tree you have to give Doctrine a hint
which meta-column is the discriminator column of this tree.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* Sets a discriminator column for an entity result or joined entity result.
* The discriminator column will be used to determine the concrete class name to
* instantiate.
*
* @param string $alias The alias of the entity result or joined entity result the discriminator
* column should be used for.
* @param string $discrColumn The name of the discriminator column in the SQL result set.
*/
public function setDiscriminatorColumn($alias, $discrColumn)
Examples
~~~~~~~~
Understanding a ResultSetMapping is probably easiest through
looking at some examples.
First a basic example that describes the mapping of a single
entity.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Equivalent DQL query: "select u from User u where u.name=?1"
// User owns no associations.
$rsm = new ResultSetMapping;
$rsm->addEntityResult('User', 'u');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'id', 'id');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'name', 'name');
$query = $this->_em->createNativeQuery('SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE name = ?', $rsm);
$query->setParameter(1, 'romanb');
$users = $query->getResult();
The result would look like this:
.. code-block:: php
array(
[0] => User (Object)
)
Note that this would be a partial object if the entity has more
fields than just id and name. In the example above the column and
field names are identical but that is not necessary, of course.
Also note that the query string passed to createNativeQuery is
**real native SQL**. Doctrine does not touch this SQL in any way.
In the previous basic example, a User had no relations and the
table the class is mapped to owns no foreign keys. The next example
assumes User has a unidirectional or bidirectional one-to-one
association to a CmsAddress, where the User is the owning side and
thus owns the foreign key.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Equivalent DQL query: "select u from User u where u.name=?1"
// User owns an association to an Address but the Address is not loaded in the query.
$rsm = new ResultSetMapping;
$rsm->addEntityResult('User', 'u');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'id', 'id');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'name', 'name');
$rsm->addMetaResult('u', 'address_id', 'address_id');
$query = $this->_em->createNativeQuery('SELECT id, name, address_id FROM users WHERE name = ?', $rsm);
$query->setParameter(1, 'romanb');
$users = $query->getResult();
Foreign keys are used by Doctrine for lazy-loading purposes when
querying for objects. In the previous example, each user object in
the result will have a proxy (a "ghost") in place of the address
that contains the address\_id. When the ghost proxy is accessed, it
loads itself based on this key.
Consequently, associations that are *fetch-joined* do not require
the foreign keys to be present in the SQL result set, only
associations that are lazy.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Equivalent DQL query: "select u from User u join u.address a WHERE u.name = ?1"
// User owns association to an Address and the Address is loaded in the query.
$rsm = new ResultSetMapping;
$rsm->addEntityResult('User', 'u');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'id', 'id');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'name', 'name');
$rsm->addJoinedEntityResult('Address' , 'a', 'u', 'address');
$rsm->addFieldResult('a', 'address_id', 'id');
$rsm->addFieldResult('a', 'street', 'street');
$rsm->addFieldResult('a', 'city', 'city');
$sql = 'SELECT u.id, u.name, a.id AS address_id, a.street, a.city FROM users u ' .
'INNER JOIN address a ON u.address_id = a.id WHERE u.name = ?';
$query = $this->_em->createNativeQuery($sql, $rsm);
$query->setParameter(1, 'romanb');
$users = $query->getResult();
In this case the nested entity ``Address`` is registered with the
``ResultSetMapping#addJoinedEntityResult`` method, which notifies
Doctrine that this entity is not hydrated at the root level, but as
a joined entity somewhere inside the object graph. In this case we
specify the alias 'u' as third parameter and ``address`` as fourth
parameter, which means the ``Address`` is hydrated into the
``User::$address`` property.
If a fetched entity is part of a mapped hierarchy that requires a
discriminator column, this column must be present in the result set
as a meta column so that Doctrine can create the appropriate
concrete type. This is shown in the following example where we
assume that there are one or more subclasses that extend User and
either Class Table Inheritance or Single Table Inheritance is used
to map the hierarchy (both use a discriminator column).
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Equivalent DQL query: "select u from User u where u.name=?1"
// User is a mapped base class for other classes. User owns no associations.
$rsm = new ResultSetMapping;
$rsm->addEntityResult('User', 'u');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'id', 'id');
$rsm->addFieldResult('u', 'name', 'name');
$rsm->addMetaResult('u', 'discr', 'discr'); // discriminator column
$rsm->setDiscriminatorColumn('u', 'discr');
$query = $this->_em->createNativeQuery('SELECT id, name, discr FROM users WHERE name = ?', $rsm);
$query->setParameter(1, 'romanb');
$users = $query->getResult();
Note that in the case of Class Table Inheritance, an example as
above would result in partial objects if any objects in the result
are actually a subtype of User. When using DQL, Doctrine
automatically includes the necessary joins for this mapping
strategy but with native SQL it is your responsibility.
Named Native Query
------------------
You can also map a native query using a named native query mapping.
To achieve that, you must describe the SQL resultset structure
using named native query (and sql resultset mappings if is a several resultset mappings).
Like named query, a named native query can be defined at class level or in a XML or YAML file.
A resultSetMapping parameter is defined in @NamedNativeQuery,
it represents the name of a defined @SqlResultSetMapping.
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace MyProject\Model;
/**
* @NamedNativeQueries({
* @NamedNativeQuery(
* name = "fetchMultipleJoinsEntityResults",

Things to note:
- The resultset mapping declares the entities retrieved by this native query.
- Each field of the entity is bound to a SQL alias (or column name).
- All fields of the entity including the ones of subclasses
and the foreign key columns of related entities have to be present in the SQL query.
- Field definitions are optional provided that they map to the same
column name as the one declared on the class property.
- ``__CLASS__`` is an alias for the mapped class
In the above example,
the ``fetchJoinedAddress`` named query use the joinMapping result set mapping.
This mapping returns 2 entities, User and Address, each property is declared and associated to a column name,
actually the column name retrieved by the query.
Let's now see an implicit declaration of the property / column.

In this example, we only describe the entity member of the result set mapping.
The property / column mappings is done using the entity mapping values.
In this case the model property is bound to the model_txt column.
If the association to a related entity involve a composite primary key,
a @FieldResult element should be used for each foreign key column.
The @FieldResult name is composed of the property name for the relationship,
followed by a dot ("."), followed by the name or the field or property of the primary key.

If you retrieve a single entity and if you use the default mapping,

</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
MyProject\Model\Address:
type: entity
namedNativeQueries:

name: findAll
resultClass: Address
query: SELECT * FROM addresses
In some of your native queries, you'll have to return scalar values,
for example when building report queries.
You can map them in the @SqlResultsetMapping through @ColumnResult.
You actually can even mix, entities and scalar returns in the same native query (this is probably not that common though).

Partial Objects
===============
A partial object is an object whose state is not fully initialized
after being reconstituted from the database and that is
disconnected from the rest of its data. The following section will
describe why partial objects are problematic and what the approach
of Doctrine2 to this problem is.
.. note::
The partial object problem in general does not apply to
methods or queries where you do not retrieve the query result as
objects. Examples are: ``Query#getArrayResult()``,
``Query#getScalarResult()``, ``Query#getSingleScalarResult()``,
etc.
.. warning::
Use of partial objects is tricky. Fields that are not retrieved
from the database will not be updated by the UnitOfWork even if they
get changed in your objects. You can only promote a partial object
to a fully-loaded object by calling ``EntityManager#refresh()``
or a DQL query with the refresh flag.
What is the problem?
--------------------
In short, partial objects are problematic because they are usually
objects with broken invariants. As such, code that uses these
partial objects tends to be very fragile and either needs to "know"
which fields or methods can be safely accessed or add checks around
every field access or method invocation. The same holds true for
the internals, i.e. the method implementations, of such objects.
You usually simply assume the state you need in the method is
available, after all you properly constructed this object before
you pushed it into the database, right? These blind assumptions can
quickly lead to null reference errors when working with such
partial objects.
It gets worse with the scenario of an optional association (0..1 to
1). When the associated field is NULL, you don't know whether this
object does not have an associated object or whether it was simply
not loaded when the owning object was loaded from the database.
These are reasons why many ORMs do not allow partial objects at all
and instead you always have to load an object with all its fields
(associations being proxied). One secure way to allow partial
objects is if the programming language/platform allows the ORM tool
to hook deeply into the object and instrument it in such a way that
individual fields (not only associations) can be loaded lazily on
first access. This is possible in Java, for example, through
bytecode instrumentation. In PHP though this is not possible, so
there is no way to have "secure" partial objects in an ORM with
transparent persistence.
Doctrine, by default, does not allow partial objects. That means,
any query that only selects partial object data and wants to
retrieve the result as objects (i.e. ``Query#getResult()``) will
raise an exception telling you that partial objects are dangerous.
If you want to force a query to return you partial objects,
possibly as a performance tweak, you can use the ``partial``
keyword as follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$q = $em->createQuery("select partial u.{id,name} from MyApp\Domain\User u");
You can also get a partial reference instead of a proxy reference by
calling:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$reference = $em->getPartialReference('MyApp\Domain\User', 1);
Partial references are objects with only the identifiers set as they
are passed to the second argument of the ``getPartialReference()`` method.
All other fields are null.
When should I force partial objects?
------------------------------------
Mainly for optimization purposes, but be careful of premature
optimization as partial objects lead to potentially more fragile
code.

PHP Mapping
===========
Doctrine 2 also allows you to provide the ORM metadata in the form
of plain PHP code using the ``ClassMetadata`` API. You can write
the code in PHP files or inside of a static function named
``loadMetadata($class)`` on the entity class itself.
PHP Files
---------
If you wish to write your mapping information inside PHP files that
are named after the entity and included to populate the metadata
for an entity you can do so by using the ``PHPDriver``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$driver = new PHPDriver('/path/to/php/mapping/files');
$em->getConfiguration()->setMetadataDriverImpl($driver);
Now imagine we had an entity named ``Entities\User`` and we wanted
to write a mapping file for it using the above configured
``PHPDriver`` instance:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace Entities;
class User
{
private $id;
private $username;
}
To write the mapping information you just need to create a file
named ``Entities.User.php`` inside of the
``/path/to/php/mapping/files`` folder:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// /path/to/php/mapping/files/Entities.User.php
$metadata->mapField(array(
'id' => true,
'fieldName' => 'id',
'type' => 'integer'
));
$metadata->mapField(array(
'fieldName' => 'username',
'type' => 'string',
'options' => array(
'fixed' => true,
'comment' => "User's login name"
)
));
$metadata->mapField(array(
'fieldName' => 'login_count',
'type' => 'integer',
'nullable' => false,
'options' => array(
'unsigned' => true,
'default' => 0
)
));
Now we can easily retrieve the populated ``ClassMetadata`` instance
where the ``PHPDriver`` includes the file and the
``ClassMetadataFactory`` caches it for later retrieval:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$class = $em->getClassMetadata('Entities\User');
// or
$class = $em->getMetadataFactory()->getMetadataFor('Entities\User');
Static Function
---------------
In addition to the PHP files you can also specify your mapping
information inside of a static function defined on the entity class
itself. This is useful for cases where you want to keep your entity
and mapping information together but don't want to use annotations.
For this you just need to use the ``StaticPHPDriver``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$driver = new StaticPHPDriver('/path/to/entities');
$em->getConfiguration()->setMetadataDriverImpl($driver);
Now you just need to define a static function named
``loadMetadata($metadata)`` on your entity:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace Entities;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata;
class User
{
// ...
public static function loadMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
{
$metadata->mapField(array(
'id' => true,
'fieldName' => 'id',
'type' => 'integer'
));
$metadata->mapField(array(
'fieldName' => 'username',
'type' => 'string'
));
}
}
ClassMetadataBuilder
--------------------
To ease the use of the ClassMetadata API (which is very raw) there is a ``ClassMetadataBuilder`` that you can use.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace Entities;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Builder\ClassMetadataBuilder;
class User
{
// ...
public static function loadMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
{
$builder = new ClassMetadataBuilder($metadata);
$builder->createField('id', 'integer')->isPrimaryKey()->generatedValue()->build();
$builder->addField('username', 'string');
}
}
The API of the ClassMetadataBuilder has the following methods with a fluent interface:
- ``addField($name, $type, array $mapping)``
- ``setMappedSuperclass()``
- ``setReadOnly()``
- ``setCustomRepositoryClass($className)``
- ``setTable($name)``
- ``addIndex(array $columns, $indexName)``
- ``addUniqueConstraint(array $columns, $constraintName)``
- ``addNamedQuery($name, $dqlQuery)``
- ``setJoinedTableInheritance()``
- ``setSingleTableInheritance()``
- ``setDiscriminatorColumn($name, $type = 'string', $length = 255)``
- ``addDiscriminatorMapClass($name, $class)``
- ``setChangeTrackingPolicyDeferredExplicit()``
- ``setChangeTrackingPolicyNotify()``
- ``addLifecycleEvent($methodName, $event)``
- ``addManyToOne($name, $targetEntity, $inversedBy = null)``
- ``addInverseOneToOne($name, $targetEntity, $mappedBy)``
- ``addOwningOneToOne($name, $targetEntity, $inversedBy = null)``
- ``addOwningManyToMany($name, $targetEntity, $inversedBy = null)``
- ``addInverseManyToMany($name, $targetEntity, $mappedBy)``
- ``addOneToMany($name, $targetEntity, $mappedBy)``
It also has several methods that create builders (which are necessary for advanced mappings):
- ``createField($name, $type)`` returns a ``FieldBuilder`` instance
- ``createManyToOne($name, $targetEntity)`` returns an ``AssociationBuilder`` instance
- ``createOneToOne($name, $targetEntity)`` returns an ``AssociationBuilder`` instance
- ``createManyToMany($name, $targetEntity)`` returns an ``ManyToManyAssociationBuilder`` instance
- ``createOneToMany($name, $targetEntity)`` returns an ``OneToManyAssociationBuilder`` instance

the mapping metadata for a single entity. It contains all the
getters and setters you need populate and retrieve information for
an entity.

The QueryBuilder
================
A ``QueryBuilder`` provides an API that is designed for
conditionally constructing a DQL query in several steps.
It provides a set of classes and methods that is able to
programmatically build queries, and also provides a fluent API.
This means that you can change between one methodology to the other
as you want, or just pick a preferred one.
.. note::
The ``QueryBuilder`` is not an abstraction of DQL, but merely a tool to dynamically build it.
You should still use plain DQL when you can, as it is simpler and more readable.
More about this in the :doc:`FAQ <faq>`_.
Constructing a new QueryBuilder object
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same way you build a normal Query, you build a ``QueryBuilder``
object. Here is an example of how to build a ``QueryBuilder``
object:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
// example1: creating a QueryBuilder instance
$qb = $em->createQueryBuilder();
An instance of QueryBuilder has several informative methods. One
good example is to inspect what type of object the
``QueryBuilder`` is.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
// example2: retrieving type of QueryBuilder
echo $qb->getType(); // Prints: 0
There're currently 3 possible return values for ``getType()``:
- ``QueryBuilder::SELECT``, which returns value 0
- ``QueryBuilder::DELETE``, returning value 1
- ``QueryBuilder::UPDATE``, which returns value 2
It is possible to retrieve the associated ``EntityManager`` of the
current ``QueryBuilder``, its DQL and also a ``Query`` object when
you finish building your DQL.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
// example3: retrieve the associated EntityManager
$em = $qb->getEntityManager();
// example4: retrieve the DQL string of what was defined in QueryBuilder
$dql = $qb->getDql();
// example5: retrieve the associated Query object with the processed DQL
$q = $qb->getQuery();
Internally, ``QueryBuilder`` works with a DQL cache to increase
performance. Any changes that may affect the generated DQL actually
modifies the state of ``QueryBuilder`` to a stage we call
STATE\_DIRTY. One ``QueryBuilder`` can be in two different states:
- ``QueryBuilder::STATE_CLEAN``, which means DQL haven't been
altered since last retrieval or nothing were added since its
instantiation
- ``QueryBuilder::STATE_DIRTY``, means DQL query must (and will)
be processed on next retrieval
Working with QueryBuilder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
High level API methods
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The most straightforward way to build a dynamic query with the ``QueryBuilder`` is by taking
advantage of Helper methods. For all base code, there is a set of
useful methods to simplify a programmer's life. To illustrate how
to work with them, here is the same example 6 re-written using
``QueryBuilder`` helper methods:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$qb->select('u')
->from('User', 'u')
->where('u.id = ?1')
->orderBy('u.name', 'ASC');
``QueryBuilder`` helper methods are considered the standard way to
use the ``QueryBuilder``. The ``$qb->expr()->*`` methods can help you
build conditional expressions dynamically. Here is a converted example 8 to
suggested way to build queries with dynamic conditions:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$qb->select(array('u')) // string 'u' is converted to array internally
->from('User', 'u')
->where($qb->expr()->orX(
$qb->expr()->eq('u.id', '?1'),
$qb->expr()->like('u.nickname', '?2')
))
->orderBy('u.surname', 'ASC');
Here is a complete list of helper methods available in ``QueryBuilder``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class QueryBuilder
{
// Example - $qb->select('u')
// Example - $qb->select(array('u', 'p'))
// Example - $qb->select($qb->expr()->select('u', 'p'))
public function select($select = null);
// addSelect does not override previous calls to select
//
// Example - $qb->select('u');
// ->addSelect('p.area_code');
public function addSelect($select = null);
// Example - $qb->delete('User', 'u')
public function delete($delete = null, $alias = null);
// Example - $qb->update('Group', 'g')
public function update($update = null, $alias = null);
// Example - $qb->set('u.firstName', $qb->expr()->literal('Arnold'))
// Example - $qb->set('u.numChilds', 'u.numChilds + ?1')
// Example - $qb->set('u.numChilds', $qb->expr()->sum('u.numChilds', '?1'))
public function set($key, $value);
// Example - $qb->from('Phonenumber', 'p')
// Example - $qb->from('Phonenumber', 'p', 'p.id')
public function from($from, $alias, $indexBy = null);
// Example - $qb->join('u.Group', 'g', Expr\Join::WITH, $qb->expr()->eq('u.status_id', '?1'))
// Example - $qb->join('u.Group', 'g', 'WITH', 'u.status = ?1')
// Example - $qb->join('u.Group', 'g', 'WITH', 'u.status = ?1', 'g.id')
public function join($join, $alias, $conditionType = null, $condition = null, $indexBy = null);
// Example - $qb->innerJoin('u.Group', 'g', Expr\Join::WITH, $qb->expr()->eq('u.status_id', '?1'))
// Example - $qb->innerJoin('u.Group', 'g', 'WITH', 'u.status = ?1')
// Example - $qb->innerJoin('u.Group', 'g', 'WITH', 'u.status = ?1', 'g.id')
public function innerJoin($join, $alias, $conditionType = null, $condition = null, $indexBy = null);
// Example - $qb->leftJoin('u.Phonenumbers', 'p', Expr\Join::WITH, $qb->expr()->eq('p.area_code', 55))
// Example - $qb->leftJoin('u.Phonenumbers', 'p', 'WITH', 'p.area_code = 55')
// Example - $qb->leftJoin('u.Phonenumbers', 'p', 'WITH', 'p.area_code = 55', 'p.id')
public function leftJoin($join, $alias, $conditionType = null, $condition = null, $indexBy = null);
// NOTE: ->where() overrides all previously set conditions
//
// Example - $qb->where('u.firstName = ?1', $qb->expr()->eq('u.surname', '?2'))
// Example - $qb->where($qb->expr()->andX($qb->expr()->eq('u.firstName', '?1'), $qb->expr()->eq('u.surname', '?2')))
// Example - $qb->where('u.firstName = ?1 AND u.surname = ?2')
public function where($where);
// NOTE: ->andWhere() can be used directly, without any ->where() before
//
// Example - $qb->andWhere($qb->expr()->orX($qb->expr()->lte('u.age', 40), 'u.numChild = 0'))
public function andWhere($where);
// Example - $qb->orWhere($qb->expr()->between('u.id', 1, 10));
public function orWhere($where);
// NOTE: -> groupBy() overrides all previously set grouping conditions
//
// Example - $qb->groupBy('u.id')
public function groupBy($groupBy);
// Example - $qb->addGroupBy('g.name')
public function addGroupBy($groupBy);
// NOTE: -> having() overrides all previously set having conditions
//
// Example - $qb->having('u.salary >= ?1')
// Example - $qb->having($qb->expr()->gte('u.salary', '?1'))
public function having($having);
// Example - $qb->andHaving($qb->expr()->gt($qb->expr()->count('u.numChild'), 0))
public function andHaving($having);
// Example - $qb->orHaving($qb->expr()->lte('g.managerLevel', '100'))
public function orHaving($having);
// NOTE: -> orderBy() overrides all previously set ordering conditions
//
// Example - $qb->orderBy('u.surname', 'DESC')
public function orderBy($sort, $order = null);
// Example - $qb->addOrderBy('u.firstName')
public function addOrderBy($sort, $order = null); // Default $order = 'ASC'
}
Binding parameters to your query
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Doctrine supports dynamic binding of parameters to your query,
similar to preparing queries. You can use both strings and numbers
as placeholders, although both have a slightly different syntax.
Additionally, you must make your choice: Mixing both styles is not
allowed. Binding parameters can simply be achieved as follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$qb->select('u')
->from('User', 'u')
->where('u.id = ?1')
->orderBy('u.name', 'ASC')
->setParameter(1, 100); // Sets ?1 to 100, and thus we will fetch a user with u.id = 100
You are not forced to enumerate your placeholders as the
alternative syntax is available:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$qb->select('u')
->from('User', 'u')
->where('u.id = :identifier')
->orderBy('u.name', 'ASC')
->setParameter('identifier', 100); // Sets :identifier to 100, and thus we will fetch a user with u.id = 100
Note that numeric placeholders start with a ? followed by a number
while the named placeholders start with a : followed by a string.
Calling ``setParameter()`` automatically infers which type you are setting as
value. This works for integers, arrays of strings/integers, DateTime instances
and for managed entities. If you want to set a type explicitly you can call
the third argument to ``setParameter()`` explicitly. It accepts either a PDO
type or a DBAL Type name for conversion.
.. note::
Even though passing DateTime instance is allowed, it impacts performance
as by default there is an attempt to load metadata for object, and if it's not found,
type is inferred from the original value.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Types;
// prevents attempt to load metadata for date time class, improving performance
$qb->setParameter('date', new \DateTimeImmutable(), Types::DATE_IMMUTABLE)
If you've got several parameters to bind to your query, you can
also use setParameters() instead of setParameter() with the
following syntax:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
// Query here...
$qb->setParameters(array(1 => 'value for ?1', 2 => 'value for ?2'));
Getting already bound parameters is easy - simply use the above
mentioned syntax with "getParameter()" or "getParameters()":
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
// See example above
$params = $qb->getParameters();
// $params instanceof \Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection
// Equivalent to
$param = $qb->getParameter(1);
// $param instanceof \Doctrine\ORM\Query\Parameter
Note: If you try to get a parameter that was not bound yet,
getParameter() simply returns NULL.
The API of a Query Parameter is:
.. code-block:: php
namespace Doctrine\ORM\Query;
class Parameter
{
public function getName();
public function getValue();
public function getType();
public function setValue($value, $type = null);
}
Limiting the Result
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To limit a result the query builder has some methods in common with
the Query object which can be retrieved from ``EntityManager#createQuery()``.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$offset = (int)$_GET['offset'];
$limit = (int)$_GET['limit'];
$qb->add('select', 'u')
->add('from', 'User u')
->add('orderBy', 'u.name ASC')
->setFirstResult( $offset )
->setMaxResults( $limit );
Executing a Query
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The QueryBuilder is a builder object only - it has no means of actually
executing the Query. Additionally a set of parameters such as query hints
cannot be set on the QueryBuilder itself. This is why you always have to convert
a querybuilder instance into a Query object:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$query = $qb->getQuery();
// Set additional Query options
$query->setQueryHint('foo', 'bar');
$query->useResultCache('my_cache_id');
// Execute Query
$result = $query->getResult();
$single = $query->getSingleResult();
$array = $query->getArrayResult();
$scalar = $query->getScalarResult();
$singleScalar = $query->getSingleScalarResult();
The Expr class
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To workaround some of the issues that ``add()`` method may cause,
Doctrine created a class that can be considered as a helper for
building expressions. This class is called ``Expr``, which provides a
set of useful methods to help build expressions:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
// example8: QueryBuilder port of:
// "SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.id = ? OR u.nickname LIKE ? ORDER BY u.name ASC" using Expr class
$qb->add('select', new Expr\Select(array('u')))
->add('from', new Expr\From('User', 'u'))
->add('where', $qb->expr()->orX(
$qb->expr()->eq('u.id', '?1'),
$qb->expr()->like('u.nickname', '?2')
))
->add('orderBy', new Expr\OrderBy('u.name', 'ASC'));
Although it still sounds complex, the ability to programmatically
create conditions are the main feature of ``Expr``. Here it is a
complete list of supported helper methods available:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class Expr
{
/** Conditional objects **/
// Example - $qb->expr()->andX($cond1 [, $condN])->add(...)->...
public function andX($x = null); // Returns Expr\AndX instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->orX($cond1 [, $condN])->add(...)->...
public function orX($x = null); // Returns Expr\OrX instance
/** Comparison objects **/
// Example - $qb->expr()->eq('u.id', '?1') => u.id = ?1
public function eq($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->neq('u.id', '?1') => u.id <> ?1
public function neq($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->lt('u.id', '?1') => u.id < ?1
public function lt($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->lte('u.id', '?1') => u.id <= ?1
public function lte($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->gt('u.id', '?1') => u.id > ?1
public function gt($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->gte('u.id', '?1') => u.id >= ?1
public function gte($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->isNull('u.id') => u.id IS NULL
public function isNull($x); // Returns string
// Example - $qb->expr()->isNotNull('u.id') => u.id IS NOT NULL
public function isNotNull($x); // Returns string
/** Arithmetic objects **/
// Example - $qb->expr()->prod('u.id', '2') => u.id * 2
public function prod($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Math instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->diff('u.id', '2') => u.id - 2
public function diff($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Math instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->sum('u.id', '2') => u.id + 2
public function sum($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Math instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->quot('u.id', '2') => u.id / 2
public function quot($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Math instance
/** Pseudo-function objects **/
// Example - $qb->expr()->exists($qb2->getDql())
public function exists($subquery); // Returns Expr\Func instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->all($qb2->getDql())
public function all($subquery); // Returns Expr\Func instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->some($qb2->getDql())
public function some($subquery); // Returns Expr\Func instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->any($qb2->getDql())
public function any($subquery); // Returns Expr\Func instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->not($qb->expr()->eq('u.id', '?1'))
public function not($restriction); // Returns Expr\Func instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->in('u.id', array(1, 2, 3))
// Make sure that you do NOT use something similar to $qb->expr()->in('value', array('stringvalue')) as this will cause Doctrine to throw an Exception.
// Instead, use $qb->expr()->in('value', array('?1')) and bind your parameter to ?1 (see section above)
public function in($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Func instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->notIn('u.id', '2')
public function notIn($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Func instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->like('u.firstname', $qb->expr()->literal('Gui%'))
public function like($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->notLike('u.firstname', $qb->expr()->literal('Gui%'))
public function notLike($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Comparison instance
// Example - $qb->expr()->between('u.id', '1', '10')
public function between($val, $x, $y); // Returns Expr\Func
/** Function objects **/
// Example - $qb->expr()->trim('u.firstname')
public function trim($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->concat('u.firstname', $qb->expr()->concat($qb->expr()->literal(' '), 'u.lastname'))
public function concat($x, $y); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->substring('u.firstname', 0, 1)
public function substring($x, $from, $len); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->lower('u.firstname')
public function lower($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->upper('u.firstname')
public function upper($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->length('u.firstname')
public function length($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->avg('u.age')
public function avg($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->max('u.age')
public function max($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->min('u.age')
public function min($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->abs('u.currentBalance')
public function abs($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->sqrt('u.currentBalance')
public function sqrt($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->count('u.firstname')
public function count($x); // Returns Expr\Func
// Example - $qb->expr()->countDistinct('u.surname')
public function countDistinct($x); // Returns Expr\Func
}
Adding a Criteria to a Query
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can also add a :ref:`filtering-collections` to a QueryBuilder by
using ``addCriteria``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria;
// ...
$criteria = Criteria::create()
->orderBy(['firstName', 'ASC']);
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
$qb->addCriteria($criteria);
// then execute your query like normal
Low Level API
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Now we will describe the low level method of creating queries.
It may be useful to work at this level for optimization purposes,
but most of the time it is preferred to work at a higher level of
abstraction.
All helper methods in ``QueryBuilder`` actually rely on a single
one: ``add()``. This method is responsible of building every piece
of DQL. It takes 3 parameters: ``$dqlPartName``, ``$dqlPart`` and
``$append`` (default=false)
- ``$dqlPartName``: Where the ``$dqlPart`` should be placed.
Possible values: select, from, where, groupBy, having, orderBy
- ``$dqlPart``: What should be placed in ``$dqlPartName``. Accepts
a string or any instance of ``Doctrine\ORM\Query\Expr\*``
- ``$append``: Optional flag (default=false) if the ``$dqlPart``
should override all previously defined items in ``$dqlPartName`` or
not (no effect on the ``where`` and ``having`` DQL query parts,
which always override all previously defined items)
-
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
// example6: how to define:
// "SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.id = ? ORDER BY u.name ASC"
// using QueryBuilder string support
$qb->add('select', 'u')
->add('from', 'User u')
->add('where', 'u.id = ?1')
->add('orderBy', 'u.name ASC');
Expr\* classes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When you call ``add()`` with string, it internally evaluates to an
instance of ``Doctrine\ORM\Query\Expr\Expr\*`` class. Here is the
same query of example 6 written using
``Doctrine\ORM\Query\Expr\Expr\*`` classes:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $qb instanceof QueryBuilder
// example7: how to define:
// "SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.id = ? ORDER BY u.name ASC"
// using QueryBuilder using Expr\* instances
$qb->add('select', new Expr\Select(array('u')))
->add('from', new Expr\From('User', 'u'))
->add('where', new Expr\Comparison('u.id', '=', '?1'))

The Second Level Cache
======================
.. note::
The second level cache functionality is marked as experimental for now. It
is a very complex feature and we cannot guarantee yet that it works stable
in all cases.
The Second Level Cache is designed to reduce the amount of necessary database access.
It sits between your application and the database to avoid the number of database hits as much as possible.
When turned on, entities will be first searched in cache and if they are not found,
a database query will be fired and then the entity result will be stored in a cache provider.
There are some flavors of caching available, but is better to cache read-only data.
Be aware that caches are not aware of changes made to the persistent store by another application.
They can, however, be configured to regularly expire cached data.
Caching Regions
---------------
Second level cache does not store instances of an entity, instead it caches only entity identifier and values.
Each entity class, collection association and query has its region, where values of each instance are stored.
Caching Regions are specific region into the cache provider that might store entities, collection or queries.
Each cache region resides in a specific cache namespace and has its own lifetime configuration.
Notice that when caching collection and queries only identifiers are stored.
The entity values will be stored in its own region
Something like below for an entity region :
.. code-block:: php
<?php
[
'region_name:entity_1_hash' => ['id'=> 1, 'name' => 'FooBar', 'associationName'=>null],
'region_name:entity_2_hash' => ['id'=> 2, 'name' => 'Foo', 'associationName'=>['id'=>11]],
'region_name:entity_3_hash' => ['id'=> 3, 'name' => 'Bar', 'associationName'=>['id'=>22]]
];
If the entity holds a collection that also needs to be cached.
An collection region could look something like :
.. code-block:: php
<?php
[
'region_name:entity_1_coll_assoc_name_hash' => ['ownerId'=> 1, 'list' => [1, 2, 3]],
'region_name:entity_2_coll_assoc_name_hash' => ['ownerId'=> 2, 'list' => [2, 3]],
'region_name:entity_3_coll_assoc_name_hash' => ['ownerId'=> 3, 'list' => [2, 4]]
];
A query region might be something like :
.. code-block:: php
<?php
[
'region_name:query_1_hash' => ['list' => [1, 2, 3]],
'region_name:query_2_hash' => ['list' => [2, 3]],
'region_name:query_3_hash' => ['list' => [2, 4]]
];
.. note::
The following data structures represents now the cache will looks like, this is not actual cached data.
.. _reference-second-level-cache-regions:
Cache Regions
-------------
``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\Region\DefaultRegion`` is the default implementation.
A simplest cache region compatible with all doctrine-cache drivers but does not support locking.
``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\Region`` and ``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\ConcurrentRegion``
define contracts that should be implemented by a cache provider.
It allows you to provide your own cache implementation that might take advantage of specific cache driver.
If you want to support locking for ``READ_WRITE`` strategies you should implement ``ConcurrentRegion``; ``CacheRegion`` otherwise.
Cache region
~~~~~~~~~~~~
``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\Region`` defines a contract for accessing a particular
cache region.
`See API Doc <https://www.doctrine-project.org/api/orm/current/Doctrine/ORM/Cache/Region.html>`_.
Concurrent cache region
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A ``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\ConcurrentRegion`` is designed to store concurrently managed data region.
By default, Doctrine provides a very simple implementation based on file locks ``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\Region\FileLockRegion``.
If you want to use an ``READ_WRITE`` cache, you should consider providing your own cache region.
``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\ConcurrentRegion`` defines a contract for concurrently managed data region.
`See API Doc <https://www.doctrine-project.org/api/orm/current/Doctrine/ORM/Cache/ConcurrentRegion.html>`_.
Timestamp region
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``Doctrine\ORM\Cache\TimestampRegion``
Tracks the timestamps of the most recent updates to particular entity.
`See API Doc <http://www.doctrine-project.org/api/orm/current/Doctrine/ORM/Cache/TimestampRegion.html>`_.
.. _reference-second-level-cache-mode:
Caching mode
------------
* ``READ_ONLY`` (DEFAULT)
* Can do reads, inserts and deletes, cannot perform updates or employ any locks.
* Useful for data that is read frequently but never updated.
* Best performer.
* It is Simple.
* ``NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE``
* Read Write Cache doesnt employ any locks but can do reads, inserts, updates and deletes.
* Good if the application needs to update data rarely.
* ``READ_WRITE``
* Read Write cache employs locks before update/delete.
* Use if data needs to be updated.
* Slowest strategy.
* To use it a the cache region implementation must support locking.
Built-in cached persisters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cached persisters are responsible to access cache regions.

+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Configuration
-------------
Doctrine allows you to specify configurations and some points of extension for the second-level-cache
Enable Second Level Cache
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To enable the second-level-cache, you should provide a cache factory.
``\Doctrine\ORM\Cache\DefaultCacheFactory`` is the default implementation.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/* @var $config \Doctrine\ORM\Cache\RegionsConfiguration */
/* @var $cache \Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache */
$factory = new \Doctrine\ORM\Cache\DefaultCacheFactory($config, $cache);
// Enable second-level-cache
$config->setSecondLevelCacheEnabled();
// Cache factory
$config->getSecondLevelCacheConfiguration()
->setCacheFactory($factory);
Cache Factory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cache Factory is the main point of extension.
It allows you to provide a specific implementation of the following components :
``QueryCache``
stores and retrieves query cache results.
``CachedEntityPersister``
stores and retrieves entity results.
``CachedCollectionPersister``
stores and retrieves query results.
``EntityHydrator``
transforms entities into a cache entries and cache entries into entities
``CollectionHydrator``
transforms collections into cache entries and cache entries into collections
`See API Doc <http://www.doctrine-project.org/api/orm/current/Doctrine/ORM/Cache/DefaultCacheFactory.html>`_.
Region Lifetime
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To specify a default lifetime for all regions or specify a different lifetime for a specific region.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/* @var $config \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration */
/* @var $cacheConfig \Doctrine\ORM\Cache\CacheConfiguration */
$cacheConfig = $config->getSecondLevelCacheConfiguration();
$regionConfig = $cacheConfig->getRegionsConfiguration();
// Cache Region lifetime
$regionConfig->setLifetime('my_entity_region', 3600); // Time to live for a specific region (in seconds)
$regionConfig->setDefaultLifetime(7200); // Default time to live (in seconds)
Cache Log
~~~~~~~~~
By providing a cache logger you should be able to get information about all cache operations such as hits, misses and puts.
``\Doctrine\ORM\Cache\Logging\StatisticsCacheLogger`` is a built-in implementation that provides basic statistics.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/* @var $config \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration */
$logger = new \Doctrine\ORM\Cache\Logging\StatisticsCacheLogger();
// Cache logger
$config->setSecondLevelCacheEnabled(true);
$config->getSecondLevelCacheConfiguration()
->setCacheLogger($logger);
// Collect cache statistics
// Get the number of entries successfully retrieved from a specific region.
$logger->getRegionHitCount('my_entity_region');
// Get the number of cached entries *not* found in a specific region.
$logger->getRegionMissCount('my_entity_region');
// Get the number of cacheable entries put in cache.
$logger->getRegionPutCount('my_entity_region');
// Get the total number of put in all regions.
$logger->getPutCount();
// Get the total number of entries successfully retrieved from all regions.
$logger->getHitCount();
// Get the total number of cached entries *not* found in all regions.
$logger->getMissCount();
If you want to get more information you should implement
``\Doctrine\ORM\Cache\Logging\CacheLogger`` and collect
all the information you want.
`See API Doc <http://www.doctrine-project.org/api/orm/current/Doctrine/ORM/Cache/Logging/CacheLogger.html>`_.
Entity cache definition
-----------------------
* Entity cache configuration allows you to define the caching strategy and region for an entity.
* ``usage`` specifies the caching strategy: ``READ_ONLY``,
``NONSTRICT_READ_WRITE``, ``READ_WRITE``.
See :ref:`reference-second-level-cache-mode`.
* ``region`` is an optional value that specifies the name of the second
level cache region.
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**

Association cache definition
----------------------------
The most common use case is to cache entities. But we can also cache relationships.
It caches the primary keys of association and cache each element will be cached into its region.

Cache usage
~~~~~~~~~~~
Basic entity cache
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$em->persist(new Country($name));
$em->flush(); // Hit database to insert the row and put into cache
$em->clear(); // Clear entity manager
$country1 = $em->find('Country', 1); // Retrieve item from cache
$country->setName("New Name");
$em->persist($country);
$em->flush(); // Hit database to update the row and update cache
$em->clear(); // Clear entity manager
$country2 = $em->find('Country', 1); // Retrieve item from cache
// Notice that $country1 and $country2 are not the same instance.
Association cache
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Hit database to insert the row and put into cache
$em->persist(new State($name, $country));
$em->flush();
// Clear entity manager
$em->clear();
// Retrieve item from cache
$state = $em->find('State', 1);
// Hit database to update the row and update cache entry
$state->setName("New Name");
$em->persist($state);
$em->flush();
// Create a new collection item
$city = new City($name, $state);
$state->addCity($city);
// Hit database to insert new collection item,
// put entity and collection cache into cache.
$em->persist($city);
$em->persist($state);
$em->flush();
// Clear entity manager
$em->clear();
// Retrieve item from cache
$state = $em->find('State', 1);
// Retrieve association from cache
$country = $state->getCountry();
// Retrieve collection from cache
$cities = $state->getCities();
echo $country->getName();
echo $state->getName();
// Retrieve each collection item from cache
foreach ($cities as $city) {
echo $city->getName();
}
.. note::
Notice that all entities should be marked as cacheable.
Using the query cache
---------------------
The second level cache stores the entities, associations and collections.
The query cache stores the results of the query but as identifiers, entity values are actually stored in the 2nd level cache.
.. note::
Query cache should always be used in conjunction with the second-level-cache for those entities which should be cached.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/* @var $em \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager */
// Execute database query, store query cache and entity cache
$result1 = $em->createQuery('SELECT c FROM Country c ORDER BY c.name')
->setCacheable(true)
->getResult();
$em->clear()
// Check if query result is valid and load entities from cache
$result2 = $em->createQuery('SELECT c FROM Country c ORDER BY c.name')
->setCacheable(true)
->getResult();
Cache mode
~~~~~~~~~~
The Cache Mode controls how a particular query interacts with the second-level cache:
* ``Cache::MODE_GET`` - May read items from the cache, but will not add items.
* ``Cache::MODE_PUT`` - Will never read items from the cache, but will add items to the cache as it reads them from the database.
* ``Cache::MODE_NORMAL`` - May read items from the cache, and add items to the cache.
* ``Cache::MODE_REFRESH`` - The query will never read items from the cache, but will refresh items to the cache as it reads them from the database.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/* @var $em \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager */
// Will refresh the query cache and all entities the cache as it reads from the database.
$result1 = $em->createQuery('SELECT c FROM Country c ORDER BY c.name')
->setCacheMode(Cache::MODE_GET)
->setCacheable(true)
->getResult();
.. note::
The the default query cache mode is ```Cache::MODE_NORMAL```
DELETE / UPDATE queries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DQL UPDATE / DELETE statements are ported directly into a database and bypass
the second-level cache.
Entities that are already cached will NOT be invalidated.
However the cached data could be evicted using the cache API or an special query hint.
Execute the ``UPDATE`` and invalidate ``all cache entries`` using ``Query::HINT_CACHE_EVICT``
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Execute and invalidate
$this->_em->createQuery("UPDATE Entity\Country u SET u.name = 'unknown' WHERE u.id = 1")
->setHint(Query::HINT_CACHE_EVICT, true)
->execute();
Execute the ``UPDATE`` and invalidate ``all cache entries`` using the cache API
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Execute
$this->_em->createQuery("UPDATE Entity\Country u SET u.name = 'unknown' WHERE u.id = 1")
->execute();
// Invoke Cache API
$em->getCache()->evictEntityRegion('Entity\Country');
Execute the ``UPDATE`` and invalidate ``a specific cache entry`` using the cache API
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Execute
$this->_em->createQuery("UPDATE Entity\Country u SET u.name = 'unknown' WHERE u.id = 1")
->execute();
// Invoke Cache API
$em->getCache()->evictEntity('Entity\Country', 1);
Using the repository query cache
--------------------------------
As well as ``Query Cache`` all persister queries store only identifier values for an individual query.
All persisters use a single timestamp cache region to keep track of the last update for each persister,
When a query is loaded from cache, the timestamp region is checked for the last update for that persister.
Using the last update timestamps as part of the query key invalidate the cache key when an update occurs.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// load from database and store cache query key hashing the query + parameters + last timestamp cache region..
$entities = $em->getRepository('Entity\Country')->findAll();
// load from query and entities from cache..
$entities = $em->getRepository('Entity\Country')->findAll();
// update the timestamp cache region for Country
$em->persist(new Country('zombieland'));
$em->flush();
$em->clear();
// Reload from database.
// At this point the query cache key is no longer valid, the select goes straight to the database
$entities = $em->getRepository('Entity\Country')->findAll();
Cache API
---------
Caches are not aware of changes made by another application.
However, you can use the cache API to check / invalidate cache entries.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/* @var $cache \Doctrine\ORM\Cache */
$cache = $em->getCache();
$cache->containsEntity('Entity\State', 1) // Check if the cache exists
$cache->evictEntity('Entity\State', 1); // Remove an entity from cache
$cache->evictEntityRegion('Entity\State'); // Remove all entities from cache
$cache->containsCollection('Entity\State', 'cities', 1); // Check if the cache exists
$cache->evictCollection('Entity\State', 'cities', 1); // Remove an entity collection from cache
$cache->evictCollectionRegion('Entity\State', 'cities'); // Remove all collections from cache
Limitations
-----------
Composite primary key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Composite primary key are supported by second level cache,
however when one of the keys is an association the cached entity should always be retrieved using the association identifier.
For performance reasons the cache API does not extract from composite primary key.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* @Entity
*/
class Reference
{
/**
* @Id
* @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Article", inversedBy="references")
* @JoinColumn(name="source_id", referencedColumnName="article_id")
*/
private $source;
/**
* @Id
* @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Article")
* @JoinColumn(name="target_id", referencedColumnName="article_id")
*/
private $target;
}
// Supported
/* @var $article Article */
$article = $em->find('Article', 1);
// Supported
/* @var $article Article */
$article = $em->find('Article', $article);
// Supported
$id = array('source' => 1, 'target' => 2);
$reference = $em->find('Reference', $id);
// NOT Supported
$id = array('source' => new Article(1), 'target' => new Article(2));
$reference = $em->find('Reference', $id);
Distributed environments
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some cache driver are not meant to be used in a distributed environment.
Load-balancer for distributing workloads across multiple computing resources
should be used in conjunction with distributed caching system such as memcached, redis, riak ...
Caches should be used with care when using a load-balancer if you don't share the cache.
While using APC or any file based cache update occurred in a specific machine would not reflect to the cache in other machines.
Paginator
~~~~~~~~~
Count queries generated by ``Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Pagination\Paginator`` are not cached by second-level cache.
Although entities and query result are cached, count queries will hit the
database every time.

Security
========
The Doctrine library is operating very close to your database and as such needs
to handle and make assumptions about SQL injection vulnerabilities.
It is vital that you understand how Doctrine approaches security, because
we cannot protect you from SQL injection.
Please also read the documentation chapter on Security in Doctrine DBAL. This
page only handles Security issues in the ORM.
- `DBAL Security Page <http://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/current/reference/security.html>`
If you find a Security bug in Doctrine, please report it on Jira and change the
Security Level to "Security Issues". It will be visible to Doctrine Core
developers and you only.
User input and Doctrine ORM
---------------------------
The ORM is much better at protecting against SQL injection than the DBAL alone.
You can consider the following APIs to be safe from SQL injection:
- ``\Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager#find()`` and ``getReference()``.
- All values on Objects inserted and updated through ``Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager#persist()``
- All find methods on ``Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository``.
- User Input set to DQL Queries or QueryBuilder methods through
- ``setParameter()`` or variants
- ``setMaxResults()``
- ``setFirstResult()``
- Queries through the Criteria API on ``Doctrine\ORM\PersistentCollection`` and
``Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository``.
You are **NOT** safe from SQL injection when using user input with:
- Expression API of ``Doctrine\ORM\QueryBuilder``
- Concatenating user input into DQL SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE statements or
Native SQL.
This means SQL injections can only occur with Doctrine ORM when working with
Query Objects of any kind. The safe rule is to always use prepared statement
parameters for user objects when using a Query object.
.. warning::
Insecure code follows, don't copy paste this.
The following example shows insecure DQL usage:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// INSECURE
$dql = "SELECT u
FROM MyProject\Entity\User u
WHERE u.status = '" . $_GET['status'] . "'
ORDER BY " . $_GET['orderField'] . " ASC";
For Doctrine there is absolutely no way to find out which parts of ``$dql`` are
from user input and which are not, even if we have our own parsing process
this is technically impossible. The correct way is:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$orderFieldWhitelist = array('email', 'username');
$orderField = "email";
if (in_array($_GET['orderField'], $orderFieldWhitelist)) {
$orderField = $_GET['orderField'];
}
$dql = "SELECT u
FROM MyProject\Entity\User u
WHERE u.status = ?1
ORDER BY u." . $orderField . " ASC";
$query = $entityManager->createQuery($dql);
$query->setParameter(1, $_GET['status']);
Preventing Mass Assignment Vulnerabilities
------------------------------------------
ORMs are very convenient for CRUD applications and Doctrine is no exception.
However CRUD apps are often vulnerable to mass assignment security problems
when implemented naively.
Doctrine is not vulnerable to this problem out of the box, but you can easily
make your entities vulnerable to mass assignment when you add methods of
the kind ``updateFromArray()`` or ``updateFromJson()`` to them. A vulnerable
entity might look like this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/**
* @Entity
*/
class InsecureEntity
{
/** @Id @Column(type="integer") @GeneratedValue */
private $id;
/** @Column */
private $email;
/** @Column(type="boolean") */
private $isAdmin;
public function fromArray(array $userInput)
{
foreach ($userInput as $key => $value) {
$this->$key = $value;
}
}
}
Now the possiblity of mass-asignment exists on this entity and can
be exploited by attackers to set the "isAdmin" flag to true on any
object when you pass the whole request data to this method like:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$entity = new InsecureEntity();
$entity->fromArray($_POST);
$entityManager->persist($entity);
$entityManager->flush();
You can spot this problem in this very simple example easily. However
in combination with frameworks and form libraries it might not be
so obvious when this issue arises. Be careful to avoid this
kind of mistake.
How to fix this problem? You should always have a whitelist
of allowed key to set via mass assignment functions.
.. code-block:: php
public function fromArray(array $userInput, $allowedFields = array())
{
foreach ($userInput as $key => $value) {
if (in_array($key, $allowedFields)) {
$this->$key = $value;
}
}
}

Tools
=====
Doctrine Console
----------------
The Doctrine Console is a Command Line Interface tool for simplifying common
administration tasks during the development of a project that uses Doctrine 2.
Take a look at the :doc:`Installation and Configuration <configuration>`
chapter for more information how to setup the console command.
Display Help Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Type ``php vendor/bin/doctrine`` on the command line and you should see an
overview of the available commands or use the --help flag to get
information on the available commands. If you want to know more
about the use of generate entities for example, you can call:
.. code-block:: php
$> php vendor/bin/doctrine orm:generate-entities --help
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whenever the ``doctrine`` command line tool is invoked, it can
access all Commands that were registered by developer. There is no
auto-detection mechanism at work. The Doctrine binary
already registers all the commands that currently ship with
Doctrine DBAL and ORM. If you want to use additional commands you
have to register them yourself.
All the commands of the Doctrine Console require access to the ``EntityManager``
or ``DBAL`` Connection. You have to inject them into the console application
using so called Helper-Sets. This requires either the ``db``
or the ``em`` helpers to be defined in order to work correctly.
Whenever you invoke the Doctrine binary the current folder is searched for a
``cli-config.php`` file. This file contains the project specific configuration:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$helperSet = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\HelperSet(array(
'db' => new \Doctrine\DBAL\Tools\Console\Helper\ConnectionHelper($conn)
));
$cli->setHelperSet($helperSet);
When dealing with the ORM package, the EntityManagerHelper is
required:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$helperSet = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\HelperSet(array(
'em' => new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\Helper\EntityManagerHelper($em)
));
$cli->setHelperSet($helperSet);
The HelperSet instance has to be generated in a separate file (i.e.
``cli-config.php``) that contains typical Doctrine bootstrap code
and predefines the needed HelperSet attributes mentioned above. A
sample ``cli-config.php`` file looks as follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// cli-config.php
require_once 'my_bootstrap.php';
// Any way to access the EntityManager from your application
$em = GetMyEntityManager();
$helperSet = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\HelperSet(array(
'db' => new \Doctrine\DBAL\Tools\Console\Helper\ConnectionHelper($em->getConnection()),
'em' => new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\Helper\EntityManagerHelper($em)
));
It is important to define a correct HelperSet that Doctrine binary
script will ultimately use. The Doctrine Binary will automatically
find the first instance of HelperSet in the global variable
namespace and use this.
.. note::
You have to adjust this snippet for your specific application or framework
and use their facilities to access the Doctrine EntityManager and
Connection Resources.
Command Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following Commands are currently available:
- ``help`` Displays help for a command (?)

Database Schema Generation
--------------------------
.. note::
SchemaTool can do harm to your database. It will drop or alter
tables, indexes, sequences and such. Please use this tool with
caution in development and not on a production server. It is meant
for helping you develop your Database Schema, but NOT with
migrating schema from A to B in production. A safe approach would
be generating the SQL on development server and saving it into SQL
Migration files that are executed manually on the production
server.
SchemaTool assumes your Doctrine Project uses the given database on
its own. Update and Drop commands will mess with other tables if
they are not related to the current project that is using Doctrine.
Please be careful!
To generate your database schema from your Doctrine mapping files
you can use the ``SchemaTool`` class or the ``schema-tool`` Console
Command.
When using the SchemaTool class directly, create your schema using
the ``createSchema()`` method. First create an instance of the
``SchemaTool`` and pass it an instance of the ``EntityManager``
that you want to use to create the schema. This method receives an
array of ``ClassMetadataInfo`` instances.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$tool = new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\SchemaTool($em);
$classes = array(
$em->getClassMetadata('Entities\User'),
$em->getClassMetadata('Entities\Profile')
);
$tool->createSchema($classes);
To drop the schema you can use the ``dropSchema()`` method.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$tool->dropSchema($classes);
This drops all the tables that are currently used by your metadata
model. When you are changing your metadata a lot during development
you might want to drop the complete database instead of only the
tables of the current model to clean up with orphaned tables.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$tool->dropSchema($classes, \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\SchemaTool::DROP_DATABASE);
You can also use database introspection to update your schema
easily with the ``updateSchema()`` method. It will compare your
existing database schema to the passed array of
``ClassMetadataInfo`` instances.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$tool->updateSchema($classes);
If you want to use this functionality from the command line you can
use the ``schema-tool`` command.
To create the schema use the ``create`` command:
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:schema-tool:create
To drop the schema use the ``drop`` command:
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:schema-tool:drop
If you want to drop and then recreate the schema then use both
options:
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:schema-tool:drop
$ php doctrine orm:schema-tool:create
As you would think, if you want to update your schema use the
``update`` command:
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:schema-tool:update
All of the above commands also accept a ``--dump-sql`` option that
will output the SQL for the ran operation.
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:schema-tool:create --dump-sql
Before using the orm:schema-tool commands, remember to configure
your cli-config.php properly.
Entity Generation
-----------------
Generate entity classes and method stubs from your mapping information.
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:generate-entities
$ php doctrine orm:generate-entities --update-entities
$ php doctrine orm:generate-entities --regenerate-entities
This command is not suited for constant usage. It is a little helper and does
not support all the mapping edge cases very well. You still have to put work
in your entities after using this command.
It is possible to use the EntityGenerator on code that you have already written. It will
not be lost. The EntityGenerator will only append new code to your
file and will not delete the old code. However this approach may still be prone
to error and we suggest you use code repositories such as GIT or SVN to make
backups of your code.
It makes sense to generate the entity code if you are using entities as Data
Access Objects only and don't put much additional logic on them. If you are
however putting much more logic on the entities you should refrain from using
the entity-generator and code your entities manually.
.. note::
Even if you specified Inheritance options in your
XML or YAML Mapping files the generator cannot generate the base and
child classes for you correctly, because it doesn't know which
class is supposed to extend which. You have to adjust the entity
code manually for inheritance to work!
Convert Mapping Information
---------------------------
Convert mapping information between supported formats.
This is an **execute one-time** command. It should not be necessary for
you to call this method multiple times, especially when using the ``--from-database``
flag.
Converting an existing database schema into mapping files only solves about 70-80%
of the necessary mapping information. Additionally the detection from an existing
database cannot detect inverse associations, inheritance types,
entities with foreign keys as primary keys and many of the
semantical operations on associations such as cascade.
.. note::
There is no need to convert YAML or XML mapping files to annotations
every time you make changes. All mapping drivers are first class citizens
in Doctrine 2 and can be used as runtime mapping for the ORM. See the
docs on XML and YAML Mapping for an example how to register this metadata
drivers as primary mapping source.
To convert some mapping information between the various supported
formats you can use the ``ClassMetadataExporter`` to get exporter
instances for the different formats:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cme = new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Export\ClassMetadataExporter();
Once you have a instance you can use it to get an exporter. For
example, the yml exporter:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$exporter = $cme->getExporter('yml', '/path/to/export/yml');
Now you can export some ``ClassMetadata`` instances:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$classes = array(
$em->getClassMetadata('Entities\User'),
$em->getClassMetadata('Entities\Profile')
);
$exporter->setMetadata($classes);
$exporter->export();
This functionality is also available from the command line to
convert your loaded mapping information to another format. The
``orm:convert-mapping`` command accepts two arguments, the type to
convert to and the path to generate it:
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:convert-mapping xml /path/to/mapping-path-converted-to-xml
Reverse Engineering
-------------------
You can use the ``DatabaseDriver`` to reverse engineer a database
to an array of ``ClassMetadataInfo`` instances and generate YAML,
XML, etc. from them.
.. note::
Reverse Engineering is a **one-time** process that can get you started with a project.
Converting an existing database schema into mapping files only detects about 70-80%
of the necessary mapping information. Additionally the detection from an existing
database cannot detect inverse associations, inheritance types,
entities with foreign keys as primary keys and many of the
semantical operations on associations such as cascade.
First you need to retrieve the metadata instances with the
``DatabaseDriver``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$em->getConfiguration()->setMetadataDriverImpl(
new \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\DatabaseDriver(
$em->getConnection()->getSchemaManager()
)
);
$cmf = new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\DisconnectedClassMetadataFactory();
$cmf->setEntityManager($em);
$metadata = $cmf->getAllMetadata();
Now you can get an exporter instance and export the loaded metadata
to yml:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cme = new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Export\ClassMetadataExporter();
$exporter = $cme->getExporter('yml', '/path/to/export/yml');
$exporter->setMetadata($metadata);
$exporter->export();
You can also reverse engineer a database using the
``orm:convert-mapping`` command:
.. code-block:: php
$ php doctrine orm:convert-mapping --from-database yml /path/to/mapping-path-converted-to-yml
.. note::
Reverse Engineering is not always working perfectly
depending on special cases. It will only detect Many-To-One
relations (even if they are One-To-One) and will try to create
entities from Many-To-Many tables. It also has problems with naming
of foreign keys that have multiple column names. Any Reverse
Engineered Database-Schema needs considerable manual work to become
a useful domain model.
Runtime vs Development Mapping Validation
-----------------------------------------
For performance reasons Doctrine 2 has to skip some of the
necessary validation of metadata mappings. You have to execute
this validation in your development workflow to verify the
associations are correctly defined.
You can either use the Doctrine Command Line Tool:
.. code-block:: php
doctrine orm:validate-schema
Or you can trigger the validation manually:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Tools\SchemaValidator;
$validator = new SchemaValidator($entityManager);
$errors = $validator->validateMapping();
if (count($errors) > 0) {
// Lots of errors!
echo implode("\n\n", $errors);
}
If the mapping is invalid the errors array contains a positive
number of elements with error messages.
.. warning::
One mapping option that is not validated is the use of the referenced column name.
It has to point to the equivalent primary key otherwise Doctrine will not work.
.. note::
One common error is to use a backlash in front of the
fully-qualified class-name. Whenever a FQCN is represented inside a
string (such as in your mapping definitions) you have to drop the
prefix backslash. PHP does this with ``get_class()`` or Reflection
methods for backwards compatibility reasons.
Adding own commands
-------------------
You can also add your own commands on-top of the Doctrine supported
tools if you are using a manually built console script.
To include a new command on Doctrine Console, you need to do modify the
``doctrine.php`` file a little:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// doctrine.php
use Symfony\Component\Console\Application;
// as before ...
// replace the ConsoleRunner::run() statement with:
$cli = new Application('Doctrine Command Line Interface', \Doctrine\ORM\Version::VERSION);
$cli->setCatchExceptions(true);
$cli->setHelperSet($helperSet);
// Register All Doctrine Commands
ConsoleRunner::addCommands($cli);
// Register your own command
$cli->addCommand(new \MyProject\Tools\Console\Commands\MyCustomCommand);
// Runs console application
$cli->run();
Additionally, include multiple commands (and overriding previously
defined ones) is possible through the command:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$cli->addCommands(array(
new \MyProject\Tools\Console\Commands\MyCustomCommand(),
new \MyProject\Tools\Console\Commands\SomethingCommand(),
new \MyProject\Tools\Console\Commands\AnotherCommand(),
new \MyProject\Tools\Console\Commands\OneMoreCommand(),
));
Re-use console application
--------------------------
You are also able to retrieve and re-use the default console application.
Just call ``ConsoleRunner::createApplication(...)`` with an appropriate
HelperSet, like it is described in the configuration section.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Retrieve default console application
$cli = ConsoleRunner::createApplication($helperSet);
// Runs console application
$cli->run();

Transactions and Concurrency
============================
.. _transactions-and-concurrency_transaction-demarcation:
Transaction Demarcation
-----------------------
Transaction demarcation is the task of defining your transaction
boundaries. Proper transaction demarcation is very important
because if not done properly it can negatively affect the
performance of your application. Many databases and database
abstraction layers like PDO by default operate in auto-commit mode,
which means that every single SQL statement is wrapped in a small
transaction. Without any explicit transaction demarcation from your
side, this quickly results in poor performance because transactions
are not cheap.
For the most part, Doctrine 2 already takes care of proper
transaction demarcation for you: All the write operations
(INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) are queued until ``EntityManager#flush()``
is invoked which wraps all of these changes in a single
transaction.
However, Doctrine 2 also allows (and encourages) you to take over
and control transaction demarcation yourself.
These are two ways to deal with transactions when using the
Doctrine ORM and are now described in more detail.
.. _transactions-and-concurrency_approach-implicitly:
Approach 1: Implicitly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first approach is to use the implicit transaction handling
provided by the Doctrine ORM EntityManager. Given the following
code snippet, without any explicit transaction demarcation:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
$user = new User;
$user->setName('George');
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
Since we do not do any custom transaction demarcation in the above
code, ``EntityManager#flush()`` will begin and commit/rollback a
transaction. This behavior is made possible by the aggregation of
the DML operations by the Doctrine ORM and is sufficient if all the
data manipulation that is part of a unit of work happens through
the domain model and thus the ORM.
.. _transactions-and-concurrency_approach-explicitly:
Approach 2: Explicitly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The explicit alternative is to use the ``Doctrine\DBAL\Connection``
API directly to control the transaction boundaries. The code then
looks like this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
$em->getConnection()->beginTransaction(); // suspend auto-commit
try {
//... do some work
$user = new User;
$user->setName('George');
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
$em->getConnection()->commit();
} catch (Exception $e) {
$em->getConnection()->rollBack();
throw $e;
}
Explicit transaction demarcation is required when you want to
include custom DBAL operations in a unit of work or when you want
to make use of some methods of the ``EntityManager`` API that
require an active transaction. Such methods will throw a
``TransactionRequiredException`` to inform you of that
requirement.
A more convenient alternative for explicit transaction demarcation is the use
of provided control abstractions in the form of
``Connection#transactional($func)`` and ``EntityManager#transactional($func)``.
When used, these control abstractions ensure that you never forget to rollback
the transaction, in addition to the obvious code reduction. An example that is
functionally equivalent to the previously shown code looks as follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
$em->transactional(function($em) {
//... do some work
$user = new User;
$user->setName('George');
$em->persist($user);
});
.. warning::
For historical reasons, ``EntityManager#transactional($func)`` will return
``true`` whenever the return value of ``$func`` is loosely false.
Some examples of this include ``array()``, ``"0"``, ``""``, ``0``, and
``null``.
The difference between ``Connection#transactional($func)`` and
``EntityManager#transactional($func)`` is that the latter
abstraction flushes the ``EntityManager`` prior to transaction
commit and rolls back the transaction when an
exception occurs.
.. _transactions-and-concurrency_exception-handling:
Exception Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When using implicit transaction demarcation and an exception occurs
during ``EntityManager#flush()``, the transaction is automatically
rolled back and the ``EntityManager`` closed.
When using explicit transaction demarcation and an exception
occurs, the transaction should be rolled back immediately and the
``EntityManager`` closed by invoking ``EntityManager#close()`` and
subsequently discarded, as demonstrated in the example above. This
can be handled elegantly by the control abstractions shown earlier.
Note that when catching ``Exception`` you should generally re-throw
the exception. If you intend to recover from some exceptions, catch
them explicitly in earlier catch blocks (but do not forget to
rollback the transaction and close the ``EntityManager`` there as
well). All other best practices of exception handling apply
similarly (i.e. either log or re-throw, not both, etc.).
As a result of this procedure, all previously managed or removed
instances of the ``EntityManager`` become detached. The state of
the detached objects will be the state at the point at which the
transaction was rolled back. The state of the objects is in no way
rolled back and thus the objects are now out of synch with the
database. The application can continue to use the detached objects,
knowing that their state is potentially no longer accurate.
If you intend to start another unit of work after an exception has
occurred you should do that with a new ``EntityManager``.
.. _transactions-and-concurrency_locking-support:
Locking Support
---------------
Doctrine 2 offers support for Pessimistic- and Optimistic-locking
strategies natively. This allows to take very fine-grained control
over what kind of locking is required for your Entities in your
application.
.. _transactions-and-concurrency_optimistic-locking:
Optimistic Locking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Database transactions are fine for concurrency control during a
single request. However, a database transaction should not span
across requests, the so-called "user think time". Therefore a
long-running "business transaction" that spans multiple requests
needs to involve several database transactions. Thus, database
transactions alone can no longer control concurrency during such a
long-running business transaction. Concurrency control becomes the
partial responsibility of the application itself.
Doctrine has integrated support for automatic optimistic locking
via a version field. In this approach any entity that should be
protected against concurrent modifications during long-running
business transactions gets a version field that is either a simple
number (mapping type: integer) or a timestamp (mapping type:
datetime). When changes to such an entity are persisted at the end
of a long-running conversation the version of the entity is
compared to the version in the database and if they don't match, an
``OptimisticLockException`` is thrown, indicating that the entity
has been modified by someone else already.
You designate a version field in an entity as follows. In this
example we'll use an integer.
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class User
{
// ...
/** @Version @Column(type="integer") */
private $version;
// ...
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="User">
<field name="version" type="integer" version="true" />
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
User:
type: entity
fields:
version:
type: integer
version: true
Alternatively a datetime type can be used (which maps to a SQL
timestamp or datetime):
.. configuration-block::
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class User
{
// ...
/** @Version @Column(type="datetime") */
private $version;
// ...
}
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="User">
<field name="version" type="datetime" version="true" />
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
.. code-block:: yaml
User:
type: entity
fields:
version:
type: datetime
version: true
Version numbers (not timestamps) should however be preferred as
they can not potentially conflict in a highly concurrent
environment, unlike timestamps where this is a possibility,
depending on the resolution of the timestamp on the particular
database platform.
When a version conflict is encountered during
``EntityManager#flush()``, an ``OptimisticLockException`` is thrown
and the active transaction rolled back (or marked for rollback).
This exception can be caught and handled. Potential responses to an
OptimisticLockException are to present the conflict to the user or
to refresh or reload objects in a new transaction and then retrying
the transaction.
With PHP promoting a share-nothing architecture, the time between
showing an update form and actually modifying the entity can in the
worst scenario be as long as your applications session timeout. If
changes happen to the entity in that time frame you want to know
directly when retrieving the entity that you will hit an optimistic
locking exception:
You can always verify the version of an entity during a request
either when calling ``EntityManager#find()``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode;
use Doctrine\ORM\OptimisticLockException;
$theEntityId = 1;
$expectedVersion = 184;
try {
$entity = $em->find('User', $theEntityId, LockMode::OPTIMISTIC, $expectedVersion);
// do the work
$em->flush();
} catch(OptimisticLockException $e) {
echo "Sorry, but someone else has already changed this entity. Please apply the changes again!";
}
Or you can use ``EntityManager#lock()`` to find out:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode;
use Doctrine\ORM\OptimisticLockException;
$theEntityId = 1;
$expectedVersion = 184;
$entity = $em->find('User', $theEntityId);
try {
// assert version
$em->lock($entity, LockMode::OPTIMISTIC, $expectedVersion);
} catch(OptimisticLockException $e) {
echo "Sorry, but someone else has already changed this entity. Please apply the changes again!";
}
Important Implementation Notes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can easily get the optimistic locking workflow wrong if you
compare the wrong versions. Say you have Alice and Bob editing a
hypothetical blog post:
- Alice reads the headline of the blog post being "Foo", at
optimistic lock version 1 (GET Request)
- Bob reads the headline of the blog post being "Foo", at
optimistic lock version 1 (GET Request)
- Bob updates the headline to "Bar", upgrading the optimistic lock
version to 2 (POST Request of a Form)
- Alice updates the headline to "Baz", ... (POST Request of a
Form)
Now at the last stage of this scenario the blog post has to be read
again from the database before Alice's headline can be applied. At
this point you will want to check if the blog post is still at
version 1 (which it is not in this scenario).
Using optimistic locking correctly, you *have* to add the version
as an additional hidden field (or into the SESSION for more
safety). Otherwise you cannot verify the version is still the one
being originally read from the database when Alice performed her
GET request for the blog post. If this happens you might see lost
updates you wanted to prevent with Optimistic Locking.
See the example code, The form (GET Request):
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$post = $em->find('BlogPost', 123456);
echo '<input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $post->getId() . '" />';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="version" value="' . $post->getCurrentVersion() . '" />';
And the change headline action (POST Request):
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$postId = (int)$_GET['id'];
$postVersion = (int)$_GET['version'];
$post = $em->find('BlogPost', $postId, \Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::OPTIMISTIC, $postVersion);
.. _transactions-and-concurrency_pessimistic-locking:
Pessimistic Locking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine 2 supports Pessimistic Locking at the database level. No
attempt is being made to implement pessimistic locking inside
Doctrine, rather vendor-specific and ANSI-SQL commands are used to
acquire row-level locks. Every Entity can be part of a pessimistic
lock, there is no special metadata required to use this feature.
However for Pessimistic Locking to work you have to disable the
Auto-Commit Mode of your Database and start a transaction around
your pessimistic lock use-case using the "Approach 2: Explicit
Transaction Demarcation" described above. Doctrine 2 will throw an
Exception if you attempt to acquire an pessimistic lock and no
transaction is running.
Doctrine 2 currently supports two pessimistic lock modes:
- Pessimistic Write
(``Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_WRITE``), locks the
underlying database rows for concurrent Read and Write Operations.
- Pessimistic Read (``Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_READ``),
locks other concurrent requests that attempt to update or lock rows
in write mode.
You can use pessimistic locks in three different scenarios:
1. Using
``EntityManager#find($className, $id, \Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_WRITE)``
or
``EntityManager#find($className, $id, \Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_READ)``
2. Using
``EntityManager#lock($entity, \Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_WRITE)``
or
``EntityManager#lock($entity, \Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_READ)``
3. Using
``Query#setLockMode(\Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_WRITE)``
or
``Query#setLockMode(\Doctrine\DBAL\LockMode::PESSIMISTIC_READ)``

Association Updates: Owning Side and Inverse Side
=================================================
When mapping bidirectional associations it is important to
understand the concept of the owning and inverse sides. The
following general rules apply:
- Relationships may be bidirectional or unidirectional.
- A bidirectional relationship has both an owning side and an inverse side
- A unidirectional relationship only has an owning side.
- Doctrine will **only** check the owning side of an association for changes.
Bidirectional Associations
--------------------------
The following rules apply to **bidirectional** associations:
- The inverse side has to have the ``mappedBy`` attribute of the OneToOne,
OneToMany, or ManyToMany mapping declaration. The mappedBy
attribute contains the name of the association-field on the owning side.
- The owning side has to have the ``inversedBy`` attribute of the
OneToOne, ManyToOne, or ManyToMany mapping declaration.
The inversedBy attribute contains the name of the association-field
on the inverse-side.
- ManyToOne is always the owning side of a bidirectional association.
- OneToMany is always the inverse side of a bidirectional association.
- The owning side of a OneToOne association is the entity with the table
containing the foreign key.
- You can pick the owning side of a many-to-many association yourself.
Important concepts
------------------
**Doctrine will only check the owning side of an association for changes.**
To fully understand this, remember how bidirectional associations
are maintained in the object world. There are 2 references on each
side of the association and these 2 references both represent the
same association but can change independently of one another. Of
course, in a correct application the semantics of the bidirectional
association are properly maintained by the application developer
(that's their responsibility). Doctrine needs to know which of these
two in-memory references is the one that should be persisted and
which not. This is what the owning/inverse concept is mainly used
for.
**Changes made only to the inverse side of an association are ignored. Make sure to update both sides of a bidirectional association (or at least the owning side, from Doctrine's point of view)**
The owning side of a bidirectional association is the side Doctrine
"looks at" when determining the state of the association, and
consequently whether there is anything to do to update the
association in the database.
.. note::
"Owning side" and "inverse side" are technical concepts of
the ORM technology, not concepts of your domain model. What you
consider as the owning side in your domain model can be different
from what the owning side is for Doctrine. These are unrelated.

Doctrine Internals explained
============================
Object relational mapping is a complex topic and sufficiently understanding how Doctrine works internally helps you use its full power.
How Doctrine keeps track of Objects
-----------------------------------
Doctrine uses the Identity Map pattern to track objects. Whenever you fetch an
object from the database, Doctrine will keep a reference to this object inside
its UnitOfWork. The array holding all the entity references is two-levels deep
and has the keys "root entity name" and "id". Since Doctrine allows composite
keys the id is a sorted, serialized version of all the key columns.
This allows Doctrine room for optimizations. If you call the EntityManager and
ask for an entity with a specific ID twice, it will return the same instance:
.. code-block:: php
public function testIdentityMap()
{
$objectA = $this->entityManager->find('EntityName', 1);
$objectB = $this->entityManager->find('EntityName', 1);
$this->assertSame($objectA, $objectB)
}
Only one SELECT query will be fired against the database here. In the second
``EntityManager#find()`` call Doctrine will check the identity map first and
doesn't need to make that database roundtrip.
Even if you get a proxy object first then fetch the object by the same id you
will still end up with the same reference:
.. code-block:: php
public function testIdentityMapReference()
{
$objectA = $this->entityManager->getReference('EntityName', 1);
// check for proxyinterface
$this->assertInstanceOf('Doctrine\ORM\Proxy\Proxy', $objectA);
$objectB = $this->entityManager->find('EntityName', 1);
$this->assertSame($objectA, $objectB)
}
The identity map being indexed by primary keys only allows shortcuts when you
ask for objects by primary key. Assume you have the following ``persons``
table:
::
id | name
-------------
1 | Benjamin
2 | Bud
Take the following example where two
consecutive calls are made against a repository to fetch an entity by a set of
criteria:
.. code-block:: php
public function testIdentityMapRepositoryFindBy()
{
$repository = $this->entityManager->getRepository('Person');
$objectA = $repository->findOneBy(array('name' => 'Benjamin'));
$objectB = $repository->findOneBy(array('name' => 'Benjamin'));
$this->assertSame($objectA, $objectB);
}
This query will still return the same references and `$objectA` and `$objectB`
are indeed referencing the same object. However when checking your SQL logs you
will realize that two queries have been executed against the database. Doctrine
only knows objects by id, so a query for different criteria has to go to the
database, even if it was executed just before.
But instead of creating a second Person object Doctrine first gets the primary
key from the row and check if it already has an object inside the UnitOfWork
with that primary key. In our example it finds an object and decides to return
this instead of creating a new one.
The identity map has a second use-case. When you call ``EntityManager#flush``
Doctrine will ask the identity map for all objects that are currently managed.
This means you don't have to call ``EntityManager#persist`` over and over again
to pass known objects to the EntityManager. This is a NO-OP for known entities,
but leads to much code written that is confusing to other developers.
The following code WILL update your database with the changes made to the
``Person`` object, even if you did not call ``EntityManager#persist``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$user = $entityManager->find("Person", 1);
$user->setName("Guilherme");
$entityManager->flush();
How Doctrine Detects Changes
----------------------------
Doctrine is a data-mapper that tries to achieve persistence-ignorance (PI).
This means you map php objects into a relational database that don't
necessarily know about the database at all. A natural question would now be,
"how does Doctrine even detect objects have changed?".
For this Doctrine keeps a second map inside the UnitOfWork. Whenever you fetch
an object from the database Doctrine will keep a copy of all the properties and
associations inside the UnitOfWork. Because variables in the PHP language are
subject to "copy-on-write" the memory usage of a PHP request that only reads
objects from the database is the same as if Doctrine did not keep this variable
copy. Only if you start changing variables PHP will create new variables internally
that consume new memory.
Now whenever you call ``EntityManager#flush`` Doctrine will iterate over the
Identity Map and for each object compares the original property and association
values with the values that are currently set on the object. If changes are
detected then the object is queued for a SQL UPDATE operation. Only the fields
that actually changed are updated.
This process has an obvious performance impact. The larger the size of the
UnitOfWork is, the longer this computation takes. There are several ways to
optimize the performance of the Flush Operation:
- Mark entities as read only. These entities can only be inserted or removed,
but are never updated. They are omitted in the changeset calculation.
- Temporarily mark entities as read only. If you have a very large UnitOfWork
but know that a large set of entities has not changed, just mark them as read
only with ``$entityManager->getUnitOfWork()->markReadOnly($entity)``.
- Flush only a single entity with ``$entityManager->flush($entity)``.
- Use :doc:`Change Tracking Policies <change-tracking-policies>` to use more
explicit strategies of notifying the UnitOfWork what objects/properties
changed.
Query Internals
---------------
The different ORM Layers
------------------------
Doctrine ships with a set of layers with different responsibilities. This
section gives a short explanation of each layer.
Hydration
~~~~~~~~~
Responsible for creating a final result from a raw database statement and a
result-set mapping object. The developer can choose which kind of result they
wish to be hydrated. Default result-types include:
- SQL to Entities
- SQL to structured Arrays
- SQL to simple scalar result arrays
- SQL to a single result variable
Hydration to entities and arrays is one of the most complex parts of Doctrine
algorithm-wise. It can build results with for example:
- Single table selects
- Joins with n:1 or 1:n cardinality, grouping belonging to the same parent.
- Mixed results of objects and scalar values
- Hydration of results by a given scalar value as key.

Working with Associations
=========================
Associations between entities are represented just like in regular
object-oriented PHP code using references to other objects or
collections of objects.
Changes to associations in your code are not synchronized to the
database directly, only when calling ``EntityManager#flush()``.
There are other concepts you should know about when working
with associations in Doctrine:
- If an entity is removed from a collection, the association is
removed, not the entity itself. A collection of entities always
only represents the association to the containing entities, not the
entity itself.
- When a bidirectional association is updated, Doctrine only checks
on one of both sides for these changes. This is called the :doc:`owning side <unitofwork-associations>`
of the association.
- A property with a reference to many entities has to be instances of the
``Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection`` interface.
Association Example Entities
----------------------------
We will use a simple comment system with Users and Comments as
entities to show examples of association management. See the PHP
docblocks of each association in the following example for
information about its type and if it's the owning or inverse side.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/** @Entity */
class User
{
/** @Id @GeneratedValue @Column(type="string") */
private $id;
/**
* Bidirectional - Many users have Many favorite comments (OWNING SIDE)
*
* @ManyToMany(targetEntity="Comment", inversedBy="userFavorites")
* @JoinTable(name="user_favorite_comments")
*/
private $favorites;
/**
* Unidirectional - Many users have marked many comments as read
*
* @ManyToMany(targetEntity="Comment")
* @JoinTable(name="user_read_comments")
*/
private $commentsRead;
/**
* Bidirectional - One-To-Many (INVERSE SIDE)
*
* @OneToMany(targetEntity="Comment", mappedBy="author")
*/
private $commentsAuthored;
/**
* Unidirectional - Many-To-One
*
* @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Comment")
*/
private $firstComment;
}
/** @Entity */
class Comment
{
/** @Id @GeneratedValue @Column(type="string") */
private $id;
/**
* Bidirectional - Many comments are favorited by many users (INVERSE SIDE)
*
* @ManyToMany(targetEntity="User", mappedBy="favorites")
*/
private $userFavorites;
/**
* Bidirectional - Many Comments are authored by one user (OWNING SIDE)
*
* @ManyToOne(targetEntity="User", inversedBy="commentsAuthored")
*/
private $author;
}
This two entities generate the following MySQL Schema (Foreign Key
definitions omitted):
.. code-block:: sql
CREATE TABLE User (
id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
firstComment_id VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE Comment (
id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
author_id VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(id)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE user_favorite_comments (
user_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
favorite_comment_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(user_id, favorite_comment_id)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE user_read_comments (
user_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
comment_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(user_id, comment_id)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
Establishing Associations
-------------------------
Establishing an association between two entities is
straight-forward. Here are some examples for the unidirectional
relations of the ``User``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class User
{
// ...
public function getReadComments() {
return $this->commentsRead;
}
public function setFirstComment(Comment $c) {
$this->firstComment = $c;
}
}
The interaction code would then look like in the following snippet
(``$em`` here is an instance of the EntityManager):
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$user = $em->find('User', $userId);
// unidirectional many to many
$comment = $em->find('Comment', $readCommentId);
$user->getReadComments()->add($comment);
$em->flush();
// unidirectional many to one
$myFirstComment = new Comment();
$user->setFirstComment($myFirstComment);
$em->persist($myFirstComment);
$em->flush();
In the case of bi-directional associations you have to update the
fields on both sides:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class User
{
// ..
public function getAuthoredComments() {
return $this->commentsAuthored;
}
public function getFavoriteComments() {
return $this->favorites;
}
}
class Comment
{
// ...
public function getUserFavorites() {
return $this->userFavorites;
}
public function setAuthor(User $author = null) {
$this->author = $author;
}
}
// Many-to-Many
$user->getFavorites()->add($favoriteComment);
$favoriteComment->getUserFavorites()->add($user);
$em->flush();
// Many-To-One / One-To-Many Bidirectional
$newComment = new Comment();
$user->getAuthoredComments()->add($newComment);
$newComment->setAuthor($user);
$em->persist($newComment);
$em->flush();
Notice how always both sides of the bidirectional association are
updated. The previous unidirectional associations were simpler to
handle.
Removing Associations
---------------------
Removing an association between two entities is similarly
straight-forward. There are two strategies to do so, by key and by
element. Here are some examples:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Remove by Elements
$user->getComments()->removeElement($comment);
$comment->setAuthor(null);
$user->getFavorites()->removeElement($comment);
$comment->getUserFavorites()->removeElement($user);
// Remove by Key
$user->getComments()->remove($ithComment);
$comment->setAuthor(null);
You need to call ``$em->flush()`` to make persist these changes in
the database permanently.
Notice how both sides of the bidirectional association are always
updated. Unidirectional associations are consequently simpler to
handle.
Also note that if you use type-hinting in your methods, you will
have to specify a nullable type, i.e. ``setAddress(?Address $address)``,
otherwise ``setAddress(null)`` will fail to remove the association.
Another way to deal with this is to provide a special method, like
``removeAddress()``. This can also provide better encapsulation as
it hides the internal meaning of not having an address.
When working with collections, keep in mind that a Collection is
essentially an ordered map (just like a PHP array). That is why the
``remove`` operation accepts an index/key. ``removeElement`` is a
separate method that has O(n) complexity using ``array_search``,
where n is the size of the map.
.. note::
Since Doctrine always only looks at the owning side of a
bidirectional association for updates, it is not necessary for
write operations that an inverse collection of a bidirectional
one-to-many or many-to-many association is updated. This knowledge
can often be used to improve performance by avoiding the loading of
the inverse collection.
You can also clear the contents of a whole collection using the
``Collections::clear()`` method. You should be aware that using
this method can lead to a straight and optimized database delete or
update call during the flush operation that is not aware of
entities that have been re-added to the collection.
Say you clear a collection of tags by calling
``$post->getTags()->clear();`` and then call
``$post->getTags()->add($tag)``. This will not recognize the tag having
already been added previously and will consequently issue two separate database
calls.
Association Management Methods
------------------------------
It is generally a good idea to encapsulate proper association
management inside the entity classes. This makes it easier to use
the class correctly and can encapsulate details about how the
association is maintained.
The following code shows updates to the previous User and Comment
example that encapsulate much of the association management code:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class User
{
//...
public function markCommentRead(Comment $comment) {
// Collections implement ArrayAccess
$this->commentsRead[] = $comment;
}
public function addComment(Comment $comment) {
if (count($this->commentsAuthored) == 0) {
$this->setFirstComment($comment);
}
$this->comments[] = $comment;
$comment->setAuthor($this);
}
private function setFirstComment(Comment $c) {
$this->firstComment = $c;
}
public function addFavorite(Comment $comment) {
$this->favorites->add($comment);
$comment->addUserFavorite($this);
}
public function removeFavorite(Comment $comment) {
$this->favorites->removeElement($comment);
$comment->removeUserFavorite($this);
}
}
class Comment
{
// ..
public function addUserFavorite(User $user) {
$this->userFavorites[] = $user;
}
public function removeUserFavorite(User $user) {
$this->userFavorites->removeElement($user);
}
}
You will notice that ``addUserFavorite`` and ``removeUserFavorite``
do not call ``addFavorite`` and ``removeFavorite``, thus the
bidirectional association is strictly-speaking still incomplete.
However if you would naively add the ``addFavorite`` in
``addUserFavorite``, you end up with an infinite loop, so more work
is needed. As you can see, proper bidirectional association
management in plain OOP is a non-trivial task and encapsulating all
the details inside the classes can be challenging.
.. note::
If you want to make sure that your collections are perfectly
encapsulated you should not return them from a
``getCollectionName()`` method directly, but call
``$collection->toArray()``. This way a client programmer for the
entity cannot circumvent the logic you implement on your entity for
association management. For example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class User {
public function getReadComments() {
return $this->commentsRead->toArray();
}
}
This will however always initialize the collection, with all the
performance penalties given the size. In some scenarios of large
collections it might even be a good idea to completely hide the
read access behind methods on the EntityRepository.
There is no single, best way for association management. It greatly
depends on the requirements of your concrete domain model as well
as your preferences.
Synchronizing Bidirectional Collections
---------------------------------------
In the case of Many-To-Many associations you as the developer have the
responsibility of keeping the collections on the owning and inverse side
in sync when you apply changes to them. Doctrine can only
guarantee a consistent state for the hydration, not for your client
code.
Using the User-Comment entities from above, a very simple example
can show the possible caveats you can encounter:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$user->getFavorites()->add($favoriteComment);
// not calling $favoriteComment->getUserFavorites()->add($user);
$user->getFavorites()->contains($favoriteComment); // TRUE
$favoriteComment->getUserFavorites()->contains($user); // FALSE
There are two approaches to handle this problem in your code:
1. Ignore updating the inverse side of bidirectional collections,
BUT never read from them in requests that changed their state. In
the next request Doctrine hydrates the consistent collection state
again.
2. Always keep the bidirectional collections in sync through
association management methods. Reads of the Collections directly
after changes are consistent then.
.. _transitive-persistence:
Transitive persistence / Cascade Operations
-------------------------------------------
Doctrine 2 provides a mechanism for transitive persistence through cascading of certain operations.
Each association to another entity or a collection of
entities can be configured to automatically cascade the following operations to the associated entities:
``persist``, ``remove``, ``merge``, ``detach``, ``refresh`` or ``all``.
The main use case for ``cascade: persist`` is to avoid "exposing" associated entities to your PHP application.
Continuing with the User-Comment example of this chapter, this is how the creation of a new user and a new
comment might look like in your controller (without ``cascade: persist``):
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$user = new User();
$myFirstComment = new Comment();
$user->addComment($myFirstComment);
$em->persist($user);
$em->persist($myFirstComment); // required, if `cascade: persist` is not set
$em->flush();
Note that the Comment entity is instantiated right here in the controller.
To avoid this, ``cascade: persist`` allows you to "hide" the Comment entity from the controller,
only accessing it through the User entity:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// User entity
class User
{
private $id;
private $comments;
public function __construct()
{
$this->id = User::new();
$this->comments = new ArrayCollection();
}
public function comment(string $text, DateTimeInterface $time) : void
{
$newComment = Comment::create($text, $time);
$newComment->setUser($this);
$this->comments->add($newComment);
}
// ...
}
If you then set up the cascading to the ``User#commentsAuthored`` property...
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class User
{
//...
/**
* Bidirectional - One-To-Many (INVERSE SIDE)
*
* @OneToMany(targetEntity="Comment", mappedBy="author", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
*/
private $commentsAuthored;
//...
}
...you can now create a user and an associated comment like this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$user = new User();
$user->comment('Lorem ipsum', new DateTime());
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
.. note::
The idea of ``cascade: persist`` is not to save you any lines of code in the controller.
If you instantiate the comment object in the controller (i.e. don't set up the user entity as shown above),
even with ``cascade: persist`` you still have to call ``$myFirstComment->setUser($user);``.
Thanks to ``cascade: remove``, you can easily delete a user and all linked comments without having to loop through them:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$user = $em->find('User', $deleteUserId);
$em->remove($user);
$em->flush();
.. note::
Cascade operations are performed in memory. That means collections and related entities
are fetched into memory (even if they are marked as lazy) when
the cascade operation is about to be performed. This approach allows
entity lifecycle events to be performed for each of these operations.
However, pulling object graphs into memory on cascade can cause considerable performance
overhead, especially when the cascaded collections are large. Make sure
to weigh the benefits and downsides of each cascade operation that you define.
To rely on the database level cascade operations for the delete operation instead, you can
configure each join column with :doc:`the onDelete option <working-with-objects>`.
Even though automatic cascading is convenient, it should be used
with care. Do not blindly apply ``cascade=all`` to all associations as
it will unnecessarily degrade the performance of your application.
For each cascade operation that gets activated, Doctrine also
applies that operation to the association, be it single or
collection valued.
Persistence by Reachability: Cascade Persist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are additional semantics that apply to the Cascade Persist
operation. During each ``flush()`` operation Doctrine detects if there
are new entities in any collection and three possible cases can
happen:
1. New entities in a collection marked as ``cascade: persist`` will be
directly persisted by Doctrine.
2. New entities in a collection not marked as ``cascade: persist`` will
produce an Exception and rollback the ``flush()`` operation.
3. Collections without new entities are skipped.
This concept is called Persistence by Reachability: New entities
that are found on already managed entities are automatically
persisted as long as the association is defined as ``cascade: persist``.
Orphan Removal
--------------
There is another concept of cascading that is relevant only when removing entities
from collections. If an Entity of type ``A`` contains references to privately
owned Entities ``B`` then if the reference from ``A`` to ``B`` is removed the
entity ``B`` should also be removed, because it is not used anymore.
OrphanRemoval works with one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many associations.
.. note::
When using the ``orphanRemoval=true`` option Doctrine makes the assumption
that the entities are privately owned and will **NOT** be reused by other entities.
If you neglect this assumption your entities will get deleted by Doctrine even if
you assigned the orphaned entity to another one.
As a better example consider an Addressbook application where you have Contacts, Addresses
and StandingData:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace Addressbook;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
/**
* @Entity
*/
class Contact
{
/** @Id @Column(type="integer") @GeneratedValue */
private $id;
/** @OneToOne(targetEntity="StandingData", orphanRemoval=true) */
private $standingData;
/** @OneToMany(targetEntity="Address", mappedBy="contact", orphanRemoval=true) */
private $addresses;
public function __construct()
{
$this->addresses = new ArrayCollection();
}
public function newStandingData(StandingData $sd)
{
$this->standingData = $sd;
}
public function removeAddress($pos)
{
unset($this->addresses[$pos]);
}
}
Now two examples of what happens when you remove the references:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$contact = $em->find("Addressbook\Contact", $contactId);
$contact->newStandingData(new StandingData("Firstname", "Lastname", "Street"));
$contact->removeAddress(1);
$em->flush();
In this case you have not only changed the ``Contact`` entity itself but
you have also removed the references for standing data and as well as one
address reference. When flush is called not only are the references removed
but both the old standing data and the one address entity are also deleted
from the database.
.. _filtering-collections:
Filtering Collections
---------------------
Collections have a filtering API that allows to slice parts of data from
a collection. If the collection has not been loaded from the database yet,
the filtering API can work on the SQL level to make optimized access to
large collections.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria;
$group = $entityManager->find('Group', $groupId);
$userCollection = $group->getUsers();
$criteria = Criteria::create()
->where(Criteria::expr()->eq("birthday", "1982-02-17"))
->orderBy(array("username" => Criteria::ASC))
->setFirstResult(0)
->setMaxResults(20)
;
$birthdayUsers = $userCollection->matching($criteria);
.. tip::
You can move the access of slices of collections into dedicated methods of
an entity. For example ``Group#getTodaysBirthdayUsers()``.
The Criteria has a limited matching language that works both on the
SQL and on the PHP collection level. This means you can use collection matching
interchangeably, independent of in-memory or sql-backed collections.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\Common\Collections;
class Criteria
{
/**
* @return Criteria
*/
static public function create();
/**
* @param Expression $where
* @return Criteria
*/
public function where(Expression $where);
/**
* @param Expression $where
* @return Criteria
*/
public function andWhere(Expression $where);
/**
* @param Expression $where
* @return Criteria
*/
public function orWhere(Expression $where);
/**
* @param array $orderings
* @return Criteria
*/
public function orderBy(array $orderings);
/**
* @param int $firstResult
* @return Criteria
*/
public function setFirstResult($firstResult);
/**
* @param int $maxResults
* @return Criteria
*/
public function setMaxResults($maxResults);
public function getOrderings();
public function getWhereExpression();
public function getFirstResult();
public function getMaxResults();
}
You can build expressions through the ExpressionBuilder. It has the following
methods:
* ``andX($arg1, $arg2, ...)``
* ``orX($arg1, $arg2, ...)``
* ``eq($field, $value)``
* ``gt($field, $value)``
* ``lt($field, $value)``
* ``lte($field, $value)``
* ``gte($field, $value)``
* ``neq($field, $value)``
* ``isNull($field)``
* ``in($field, array $values)``
* ``notIn($field, array $values)``
* ``contains($field, $value)``
* ``memberOf($value, $field)``
* ``startsWith($field, $value)``
* ``endsWith($field, $value)``
.. note::
There is a limitation on the compatibility of Criteria comparisons.
You have to use scalar values only as the value in a comparison or
the behaviour between different backends is not the same.

Working with Objects
====================
In this chapter we will help you understand the ``EntityManager``
and the ``UnitOfWork``. A Unit of Work is similar to an
object-level transaction. A new Unit of Work is implicitly started
when an EntityManager is initially created or after
``EntityManager#flush()`` has been invoked. A Unit of Work is
committed (and a new one started) by invoking
``EntityManager#flush()``.
A Unit of Work can be manually closed by calling
EntityManager#close(). Any changes to objects within this Unit of
Work that have not yet been persisted are lost.
.. note::
It is very important to understand that only
``EntityManager#flush()`` ever causes write operations against the
database to be executed. Any other methods such as
``EntityManager#persist($entity)`` or
``EntityManager#remove($entity)`` only notify the UnitOfWork to
perform these operations during flush.
Not calling ``EntityManager#flush()`` will lead to all changes
during that request being lost.
.. note::
Doctrine does NEVER touch the public API of methods in your entity
classes (like getters and setters) nor the constructor method.
Instead, it uses reflection to get/set data from/to your entity objects.
When Doctrine fetches data from DB and saves it back,
any code put in your get/set methods won't be implicitly taken into account.
Entities and the Identity Map
-----------------------------
Entities are objects with identity. Their identity has a conceptual
meaning inside your domain. In a CMS application each article has a
unique id. You can uniquely identify each article by that id.
Take the following example, where you find an article with the
headline "Hello World" with the ID 1234:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$article = $entityManager->find('CMS\Article', 1234);
$article->setHeadline('Hello World dude!');
$article2 = $entityManager->find('CMS\Article', 1234);
echo $article2->getHeadline();
In this case the Article is accessed from the entity manager twice,
but modified in between. Doctrine 2 realizes this and will only
ever give you access to one instance of the Article with ID 1234,
no matter how often do you retrieve it from the EntityManager and
even no matter what kind of Query method you are using (find,
Repository Finder or DQL). This is called "Identity Map" pattern,
which means Doctrine keeps a map of each entity and ids that have
been retrieved per PHP request and keeps returning you the same
instances.
In the previous example the echo prints "Hello World dude!" to the
screen. You can even verify that ``$article`` and ``$article2`` are
indeed pointing to the same instance by running the following
code:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
if ($article === $article2) {
echo "Yes we are the same!";
}
Sometimes you want to clear the identity map of an EntityManager to
start over. We use this regularly in our unit-tests to enforce
loading objects from the database again instead of serving them
from the identity map. You can call ``EntityManager#clear()`` to
achieve this result.
Entity Object Graph Traversal
-----------------------------
Although Doctrine allows for a complete separation of your domain
model (Entity classes) there will never be a situation where
objects are "missing" when traversing associations. You can walk
all the associations inside your entity models as deep as you
want.
Take the following example of a single ``Article`` entity fetched
from newly opened EntityManager.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
/** @Entity */
class Article
{
/** @Id @Column(type="integer") @GeneratedValue */
private $id;
/** @Column(type="string") */
private $headline;
/** @ManyToOne(targetEntity="User") */
private $author;
/** @OneToMany(targetEntity="Comment", mappedBy="article") */
private $comments;
public function __construct()
{
$this->comments = new ArrayCollection();
}
public function getAuthor() { return $this->author; }
public function getComments() { return $this->comments; }
}
$article = $em->find('Article', 1);
This code only retrieves the ``Article`` instance with id 1 executing
a single SELECT statement against the articles table in the database.
You can still access the associated properties author and comments
and the associated objects they contain.
This works by utilizing the lazy loading pattern. Instead of
passing you back a real Author instance and a collection of
comments Doctrine will create proxy instances for you. Only if you
access these proxies for the first time they will go through the
EntityManager and load their state from the database.
This lazy-loading process happens behind the scenes, hidden from
your code. See the following code:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$article = $em->find('Article', 1);
// accessing a method of the user instance triggers the lazy-load
echo "Author: " . $article->getAuthor()->getName() . "\n";
// Lazy Loading Proxies pass instanceof tests:
if ($article->getAuthor() instanceof User) {
// a User Proxy is a generated "UserProxy" class
}
// accessing the comments as an iterator triggers the lazy-load
// retrieving ALL the comments of this article from the database
// using a single SELECT statement
foreach ($article->getComments() as $comment) {
echo $comment->getText() . "\n\n";
}
// Article::$comments passes instanceof tests for the Collection interface
// But it will NOT pass for the ArrayCollection interface
if ($article->getComments() instanceof \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection) {
echo "This will always be true!";
}
A slice of the generated proxy classes code looks like the
following piece of code. A real proxy class override ALL public
methods along the lines of the ``getName()`` method shown below:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
class UserProxy extends User implements Proxy
{
private function _load()
{
// lazy loading code
}
public function getName()
{
$this->_load();
return parent::getName();
}
// .. other public methods of User
}
.. warning::
Traversing the object graph for parts that are lazy-loaded will
easily trigger lots of SQL queries and will perform badly if used
to heavily. Make sure to use DQL to fetch-join all the parts of the
object-graph that you need as efficiently as possible.
Persisting entities
-------------------
An entity can be made persistent by passing it to the
``EntityManager#persist($entity)`` method. By applying the persist
operation on some entity, that entity becomes MANAGED, which means
that its persistence is from now on managed by an EntityManager. As
a result the persistent state of such an entity will subsequently
be properly synchronized with the database when
``EntityManager#flush()`` is invoked.
.. note::
Invoking the ``persist`` method on an entity does NOT
cause an immediate SQL INSERT to be issued on the database.
Doctrine applies a strategy called "transactional write-behind",
which means that it will delay most SQL commands until
``EntityManager#flush()`` is invoked which will then issue all
necessary SQL statements to synchronize your objects with the
database in the most efficient way and a single, short transaction,
taking care of maintaining referential integrity.
Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$user = new User;
$user->setName('Mr.Right');
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
.. note::
Generated entity identifiers / primary keys are
guaranteed to be available after the next successful flush
operation that involves the entity in question. You can not rely on
a generated identifier to be available directly after invoking
``persist``. The inverse is also true. You can not rely on a
generated identifier being not available after a failed flush
operation.
The semantics of the persist operation, applied on an entity X, are
as follows:
- If X is a new entity, it becomes managed. The entity X will be
entered into the database as a result of the flush operation.
- If X is a preexisting managed entity, it is ignored by the
persist operation. However, the persist operation is cascaded to
entities referenced by X, if the relationships from X to these
other entities are mapped with cascade=PERSIST or cascade=ALL (see
":ref:`transitive-persistence`").
- If X is a removed entity, it becomes managed.
- If X is a detached entity, an exception will be thrown on
flush.
.. caution::
Do not pass detached entities to the persist operation. The persist operation always
considers entities that are not yet known to the ``EntityManager`` as new entities
(refer to the ``STATE_NEW`` constant inside the ``UnitOfWork``).
Removing entities
-----------------
An entity can be removed from persistent storage by passing it to
the ``EntityManager#remove($entity)`` method. By applying the
``remove`` operation on some entity, that entity becomes REMOVED,
which means that its persistent state will be deleted once
``EntityManager#flush()`` is invoked.
.. note::
Just like ``persist``, invoking ``remove`` on an entity
does NOT cause an immediate SQL DELETE to be issued on the
database. The entity will be deleted on the next invocation of
``EntityManager#flush()`` that involves that entity. This
means that entities scheduled for removal can still be queried
for and appear in query and collection results. See
the section on :ref:`Database and UnitOfWork Out-Of-Sync <workingobjects_database_uow_outofsync>`
for more information.
Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$em->remove($user);
$em->flush();
The semantics of the remove operation, applied to an entity X are
as follows:
- If X is a new entity, it is ignored by the remove operation.
However, the remove operation is cascaded to entities referenced by
X, if the relationship from X to these other entities is mapped
with cascade=REMOVE or cascade=ALL (see ":ref:`transitive-persistence`").
- If X is a managed entity, the remove operation causes it to
become removed. The remove operation is cascaded to entities
referenced by X, if the relationships from X to these other
entities is mapped with cascade=REMOVE or cascade=ALL (see
":ref:`transitive-persistence`").
- If X is a detached entity, an InvalidArgumentException will be
thrown.
- If X is a removed entity, it is ignored by the remove operation.
- A removed entity X will be removed from the database as a result
of the flush operation.
After an entity has been removed its in-memory state is the same as
before the removal, except for generated identifiers.
Removing an entity will also automatically delete any existing
records in many-to-many join tables that link this entity. The
action taken depends on the value of the ``@joinColumn`` mapping
attribute "onDelete". Either Doctrine issues a dedicated ``DELETE``
statement for records of each join table or it depends on the
foreign key semantics of onDelete="CASCADE".
Deleting an object with all its associated objects can be achieved
in multiple ways with very different performance impacts.
1. If an association is marked as ``CASCADE=REMOVE`` Doctrine 2
will fetch this association. If its a Single association it will
pass this entity to
``EntityManager#remove()``. If the association is a collection, Doctrine will loop over all its elements and pass them to``EntityManager#remove()``.
In both cases the cascade remove semantics are applied recursively.
For large object graphs this removal strategy can be very costly.
2. Using a DQL ``DELETE`` statement allows you to delete multiple
entities of a type with a single command and without hydrating
these entities. This can be very efficient to delete large object
graphs from the database.
3. Using foreign key semantics ``onDelete="CASCADE"`` can force the
database to remove all associated objects internally. This strategy
is a bit tricky to get right but can be very powerful and fast. You
should be aware however that using strategy 1 (``CASCADE=REMOVE``)
completely by-passes any foreign key ``onDelete=CASCADE`` option,
because Doctrine will fetch and remove all associated entities
explicitly nevertheless.
.. note::
Calling ``remove`` on an entity will remove the object from the identiy
map and therefore detach it. Querying the same entity again, for example
via a lazy loaded relation, will return a new object.
Detaching entities
------------------
An entity is detached from an EntityManager and thus no longer
managed by invoking the ``EntityManager#detach($entity)`` method on
it or by cascading the detach operation to it. Changes made to the
detached entity, if any (including removal of the entity), will not
be synchronized to the database after the entity has been
detached.
Doctrine will not hold on to any references to a detached entity.
Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$em->detach($entity);
The semantics of the detach operation, applied to an entity X are
as follows:
- If X is a managed entity, the detach operation causes it to
become detached. The detach operation is cascaded to entities
referenced by X, if the relationships from X to these other
entities is mapped with cascade=DETACH or cascade=ALL (see
":ref:`transitive-persistence`"). Entities which previously referenced X
will continue to reference X.
- If X is a new or detached entity, it is ignored by the detach
operation.
- If X is a removed entity, the detach operation is cascaded to
entities referenced by X, if the relationships from X to these
other entities is mapped with cascade=DETACH or cascade=ALL (see
":ref:`transitive-persistence`"). Entities which previously referenced X
will continue to reference X.
There are several situations in which an entity is detached
automatically without invoking the ``detach`` method:
- When ``EntityManager#clear()`` is invoked, all entities that are
currently managed by the EntityManager instance become detached.
- When serializing an entity. The entity retrieved upon subsequent
unserialization will be detached (This is the case for all entities
that are serialized and stored in some cache, i.e. when using the
Query Result Cache).
The ``detach`` operation is usually not as frequently needed and
used as ``persist`` and ``remove``.
Merging entities
----------------
Merging entities refers to the merging of (usually detached)
entities into the context of an EntityManager so that they become
managed again. To merge the state of an entity into an
EntityManager use the ``EntityManager#merge($entity)`` method. The
state of the passed entity will be merged into a managed copy of
this entity and this copy will subsequently be returned.
Example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$detachedEntity = unserialize($serializedEntity); // some detached entity
$entity = $em->merge($detachedEntity);
// $entity now refers to the fully managed copy returned by the merge operation.
// The EntityManager $em now manages the persistence of $entity as usual.
.. note::
When you want to serialize/unserialize entities you
have to make all entity properties protected, never private. The
reason for this is, if you serialize a class that was a proxy
instance before, the private variables won't be serialized and a
PHP Notice is thrown.
The semantics of the merge operation, applied to an entity X, are
as follows:
- If X is a detached entity, the state of X is copied onto a
pre-existing managed entity instance X' of the same identity.
- If X is a new entity instance, a new managed copy X' will be
created and the state of X is copied onto this managed instance.
- If X is a removed entity instance, an InvalidArgumentException
will be thrown.
- If X is a managed entity, it is ignored by the merge operation,
however, the merge operation is cascaded to entities referenced by
relationships from X if these relationships have been mapped with
the cascade element value MERGE or ALL (see ":ref:`transitive-persistence`").
- For all entities Y referenced by relationships from X having the
cascade element value MERGE or ALL, Y is merged recursively as Y'.
For all such Y referenced by X, X' is set to reference Y'. (Note
that if X is managed then X is the same object as X'.)
- If X is an entity merged to X', with a reference to another
entity Y, where cascade=MERGE or cascade=ALL is not specified, then
navigation of the same association from X' yields a reference to a
managed object Y' with the same persistent identity as Y.
The ``merge`` operation will throw an ``OptimisticLockException``
if the entity being merged uses optimistic locking through a
version field and the versions of the entity being merged and the
managed copy don't match. This usually means that the entity has
been modified while being detached.
The ``merge`` operation is usually not as frequently needed and
used as ``persist`` and ``remove``. The most common scenario for
the ``merge`` operation is to reattach entities to an EntityManager
that come from some cache (and are therefore detached) and you want
to modify and persist such an entity.
.. warning::
If you need to perform multiple merges of entities that share certain subparts
of their object-graphs and cascade merge, then you have to call ``EntityManager#clear()`` between the
successive calls to ``EntityManager#merge()``. Otherwise you might end up with
multiple copies of the "same" object in the database, however with different ids.
.. note::
If you load some detached entities from a cache and you do
not need to persist or delete them or otherwise make use of them
without the need for persistence services there is no need to use
``merge``. I.e. you can simply pass detached objects from a cache
directly to the view.
Synchronization with the Database
---------------------------------
The state of persistent entities is synchronized with the database
on flush of an ``EntityManager`` which commits the underlying
``UnitOfWork``. The synchronization involves writing any updates to
persistent entities and their relationships to the database.
Thereby bidirectional relationships are persisted based on the
references held by the owning side of the relationship as explained
in the Association Mapping chapter.
When ``EntityManager#flush()`` is called, Doctrine inspects all
managed, new and removed entities and will perform the following
operations.
.. _workingobjects_database_uow_outofsync:
Effects of Database and UnitOfWork being Out-Of-Sync
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as you begin to change the state of entities, call persist or remove the
contents of the UnitOfWork and the database will drive out of sync. They can
only be synchronized by calling ``EntityManager#flush()``. This section
describes the effects of database and UnitOfWork being out of sync.
- Entities that are scheduled for removal can still be queried from the database.
They are returned from DQL and Repository queries and are visible in collections.
- Entities that are passed to ``EntityManager#persist`` do not turn up in query
results.
- Entities that have changed will not be overwritten with the state from the database.
This is because the identity map will detect the construction of an already existing
entity and assumes its the most up to date version.
``EntityManager#flush()`` is never called implicitly by Doctrine. You always have to trigger it manually.
Synchronizing New and Managed Entities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The flush operation applies to a managed entity with the following
semantics:
- The entity itself is synchronized to the database using a SQL
UPDATE statement, only if at least one persistent field has
changed.
- No SQL updates are executed if the entity did not change.
The flush operation applies to a new entity with the following
semantics:
- The entity itself is synchronized to the database using a SQL
INSERT statement.
For all (initialized) relationships of the new or managed entity
the following semantics apply to each associated entity X:
- If X is new and persist operations are configured to cascade on
the relationship, X will be persisted.
- If X is new and no persist operations are configured to cascade
on the relationship, an exception will be thrown as this indicates
a programming error.
- If X is removed and persist operations are configured to cascade
on the relationship, an exception will be thrown as this indicates
a programming error (X would be re-persisted by the cascade).
- If X is detached and persist operations are configured to
cascade on the relationship, an exception will be thrown (This is
semantically the same as passing X to persist()).
Synchronizing Removed Entities
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The flush operation applies to a removed entity by deleting its
persistent state from the database. No cascade options are relevant
for removed entities on flush, the cascade remove option is already
executed during ``EntityManager#remove($entity)``.
The size of a Unit of Work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The size of a Unit of Work mainly refers to the number of managed
entities at a particular point in time.
The cost of flushing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How costly a flush operation is, mainly depends on two factors:
- The size of the EntityManager's current UnitOfWork.
- The configured change tracking policies
You can get the size of a UnitOfWork as follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$uowSize = $em->getUnitOfWork()->size();
The size represents the number of managed entities in the Unit of
Work. This size affects the performance of flush() operations due
to change tracking (see "Change Tracking Policies") and, of course,
memory consumption, so you may want to check it from time to time
during development.
.. note::
Do not invoke ``flush`` after every change to an entity
or every single invocation of persist/remove/merge/... This is an
anti-pattern and unnecessarily reduces the performance of your
application. Instead, form units of work that operate on your
objects and call ``flush`` when you are done. While serving a
single HTTP request there should be usually no need for invoking
``flush`` more than 0-2 times.
Direct access to a Unit of Work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can get direct access to the Unit of Work by calling
``EntityManager#getUnitOfWork()``. This will return the UnitOfWork
instance the EntityManager is currently using.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$uow = $em->getUnitOfWork();
.. note::
Directly manipulating a UnitOfWork is not recommended.
When working directly with the UnitOfWork API, respect methods
marked as INTERNAL by not using them and carefully read the API
documentation.
Entity State
~~~~~~~~~~~~
As outlined in the architecture overview an entity can be in one of
four possible states: NEW, MANAGED, REMOVED, DETACHED. If you
explicitly need to find out what the current state of an entity is
in the context of a certain ``EntityManager`` you can ask the
underlying ``UnitOfWork``:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
switch ($em->getUnitOfWork()->getEntityState($entity)) {
case UnitOfWork::STATE_MANAGED:
...
case UnitOfWork::STATE_REMOVED:
...
case UnitOfWork::STATE_DETACHED:
...
case UnitOfWork::STATE_NEW:
...
}
An entity is in MANAGED state if it is associated with an
``EntityManager`` and it is not REMOVED.
An entity is in REMOVED state after it has been passed to
``EntityManager#remove()`` until the next flush operation of the
same EntityManager. A REMOVED entity is still associated with an
``EntityManager`` until the next flush operation.
An entity is in DETACHED state if it has persistent state and
identity but is currently not associated with an
``EntityManager``.
An entity is in NEW state if has no persistent state and identity
and is not associated with an ``EntityManager`` (for example those
just created via the "new" operator).
Querying
--------
Doctrine 2 provides the following ways, in increasing level of
power and flexibility, to query for persistent objects. You should
always start with the simplest one that suits your needs.
By Primary Key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The most basic way to query for a persistent object is by its
identifier / primary key using the
``EntityManager#find($entityName, $id)`` method. Here is an
example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
$user = $em->find('MyProject\Domain\User', $id);
The return value is either the found entity instance or null if no
instance could be found with the given identifier.
Essentially, ``EntityManager#find()`` is just a shortcut for the
following:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
$user = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->find($id);
``EntityManager#getRepository($entityName)`` returns a repository
object which provides many ways to retrieve entities of the
specified type. By default, the repository instance is of type
``Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository``. You can also use custom
repository classes as shown later.
By Simple Conditions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To query for one or more entities based on several conditions that
form a logical conjunction, use the ``findBy`` and ``findOneBy``
methods on a repository as follows:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
// All users that are 20 years old
$users = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findBy(array('age' => 20));
// All users that are 20 years old and have a surname of 'Miller'
$users = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findBy(array('age' => 20, 'surname' => 'Miller'));
// A single user by its nickname
$user = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findOneBy(array('nickname' => 'romanb'));
You can also load by owning side associations through the repository:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$number = $em->find('MyProject\Domain\Phonenumber', 1234);
$user = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findOneBy(array('phone' => $number->getId()));
The ``EntityRepository#findBy()`` method additionally accepts orderings, limit and offset as second to fourth parameters:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$tenUsers = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findBy(array('age' => 20), array('name' => 'ASC'), 10, 0);
If you pass an array of values Doctrine will convert the query into a WHERE field IN (..) query automatically:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$users = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findBy(array('age' => array(20, 30, 40)));
// translates roughly to: SELECT * FROM users WHERE age IN (20, 30, 40)
An EntityRepository also provides a mechanism for more concise
calls through its use of ``__call``. Thus, the following two
examples are equivalent:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// A single user by its nickname
$user = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findOneBy(array('nickname' => 'romanb'));
// A single user by its nickname (__call magic)
$user = $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->findOneByNickname('romanb');
Additionally, you can just count the result of the provided conditions when you don't really need the data:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// Check there is no user with nickname
$availableNickname = 0 === $em->getRepository('MyProject\Domain\User')->count(['nickname' => 'nonexistent']);
By Criteria
~~~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2.3
The Repository implement the ``Doctrine\Common\Collections\Selectable``
interface. That means you can build ``Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria``
and pass them to the ``matching($criteria)`` method.
See section `Filtering collections` of chapter :doc:`Working with Associations <working-with-associations>`
By Eager Loading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whenever you query for an entity that has persistent associations
and these associations are mapped as EAGER, they will automatically
be loaded together with the entity being queried and is thus
immediately available to your application.
By Lazy Loading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whenever you have a managed entity instance at hand, you can
traverse and use any associations of that entity that are
configured LAZY as if they were in-memory already. Doctrine will
automatically load the associated objects on demand through the
concept of lazy-loading.
By DQL
~~~~~~
The most powerful and flexible method to query for persistent
objects is the Doctrine Query Language, an object query language.
DQL enables you to query for persistent objects in the language of
objects. DQL understands classes, fields, inheritance and
associations. DQL is syntactically very similar to the familiar SQL
but *it is not SQL*.
A DQL query is represented by an instance of the
``Doctrine\ORM\Query`` class. You create a query using
``EntityManager#createQuery($dql)``. Here is a simple example:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
// All users with an age between 20 and 30 (inclusive).
$q = $em->createQuery("select u from MyDomain\Model\User u where u.age >= 20 and u.age <= 30");
$users = $q->getResult();
Note that this query contains no knowledge about the relational
schema, only about the object model. DQL supports positional as
well as named parameters, many functions, (fetch) joins,
aggregates, subqueries and much more. Detailed information about
DQL and its syntax as well as the Doctrine class can be found in
:doc:`the dedicated chapter <dql-doctrine-query-language>`.
For programmatically building up queries based on conditions that
are only known at runtime, Doctrine provides the special
``Doctrine\ORM\QueryBuilder`` class. While this a powerful tool,
it also brings more complexity to your code compared to plain DQL,
so you should only use it when you need it. More information on
constructing queries with a QueryBuilder can be found
:doc:`in Query Builder chapter <query-builder>`.
By Native Queries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As an alternative to DQL or as a fallback for special SQL
statements native queries can be used. Native queries are built by
using a hand-crafted SQL query and a ResultSetMapping that
describes how the SQL result set should be transformed by Doctrine.
More information about native queries can be found in
:doc:`the dedicated chapter <native-sql>`.
Custom Repositories
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default the EntityManager returns a default implementation of
``Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository`` when you call
``EntityManager#getRepository($entityClass)``. You can overwrite
this behaviour by specifying the class name of your own Entity
Repository in the Annotation, XML or YAML metadata. In large
applications that require lots of specialized DQL queries using a
custom repository is one recommended way of grouping these queries
in a central location.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
namespace MyDomain\Model;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="MyDomain\Model\UserRepository")
*/
class User
{
}
class UserRepository extends EntityRepository
{
public function getAllAdminUsers()
{
return $this->_em->createQuery('SELECT u FROM MyDomain\Model\User u WHERE u.status = "admin"')
->getResult();
}
}
You can access your repository now by calling:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
// $em instanceof EntityManager
$admins = $em->getRepository('MyDomain\Model\User')->getAllAdminUsers();

XML Mapping
===========
The XML mapping driver enables you to provide the ORM metadata in
form of XML documents.
The XML driver is backed by an XML Schema document that describes
the structure of a mapping document. The most recent version of the
XML Schema document is available online at
`https://www.doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping.xsd <https://www.doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping.xsd>`_.
In order to point to the latest version of the document of a
particular stable release branch, just append the release number,
i.e.: doctrine-mapping-2.0.xsd The most convenient way to work with
XML mapping files is to use an IDE/editor that can provide
code-completion based on such an XML Schema document. The following
is an outline of a XML mapping document with the proper xmlns/xsi
setup for the latest code in trunk.
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping xmlns="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping
https://www.doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping.xsd">
...
</doctrine-mapping>
The XML mapping document of a class is loaded on-demand the first
time it is requested and subsequently stored in the metadata cache.
In order to work, this requires certain conventions:
- Each entity/mapped superclass must get its own dedicated XML
mapping document.
- The name of the mapping document must consist of the fully
qualified name of the class, where namespace separators are
replaced by dots (.). For example an Entity with the fully
qualified class-name "MyProject" would require a mapping file
"MyProject.Entities.User.dcm.xml" unless the extension is changed.
- All mapping documents should get the extension ".dcm.xml" to
identify it as a Doctrine mapping file. This is more of a
convention and you are not forced to do this. You can change the
file extension easily enough.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$driver->setFileExtension('.xml');
It is recommended to put all XML mapping documents in a single
folder but you can spread the documents over several folders if you
want to. In order to tell the XmlDriver where to look for your
mapping documents, supply an array of paths as the first argument
of the constructor, like this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$config = new \Doctrine\ORM\Configuration();
$driver = new \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\XmlDriver(array('/path/to/files1', '/path/to/files2'));
$config->setMetadataDriverImpl($driver);
.. warning::
Note that Doctrine ORM does not modify any settings for ``libxml``,
therefore, external XML entities may or may not be enabled or
configured correctly.
XML mappings are not XXE/XEE attack vectors since they are not
related with user input, but it is recommended that you do not
use external XML entities in your mapping files to avoid running
into unexpected behaviour.
Simplified XML Driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Symfony project sponsored a driver that simplifies usage of the XML Driver.
The changes between the original driver are:
1. File Extension is .orm.xml
2. Filenames are shortened, "MyProject\Entities\User" will become User.orm.xml
3. You can add a global file and add multiple entities in this file.
Configuration of this client works a little bit different:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$namespaces = array(
'/path/to/files1' => 'MyProject\Entities',
'/path/to/files2' => 'OtherProject\Entities'
);
$driver = new \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\SimplifiedXmlDriver($namespaces);
$driver->setGlobalBasename('global'); // global.orm.xml
Example

As a quick start, here is a small example document that makes use
of several common elements:

Be aware that class-names specified in the XML files should be
fully qualified.
XML-Element Reference
---------------------
The XML-Element reference explains all the tags and attributes that
the Doctrine Mapping XSD Schema defines. You should read the
Basic-, Association- and Inheritance Mapping chapters to understand
what each of this definitions means in detail.
Defining an Entity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each XML Mapping File contains the definition of one entity,
specified as the ``<entity />`` element as a direct child of the
``<doctrine-mapping />`` element:
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<entity name="MyProject\User" table="cms_users" schema="schema_name" repository-class="MyProject\UserRepository">
<!-- definition here -->
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>
Required attributes:
- name - The fully qualified class-name of the entity.
Optional attributes:
- **table** - The Table-Name to be used for this entity. Otherwise the
Unqualified Class-Name is used by default.
- **repository-class** - The fully qualified class-name of an
alternative ``Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository`` implementation to be
used with this entity.
- **inheritance-type** - The type of inheritance, defaults to none. A
more detailed description follows in the
*Defining Inheritance Mappings* section.
- **read-only** - (>= 2.1) Specifies that this entity is marked as read only and not
considered for change-tracking. Entities of this type can be persisted
and removed though.
- **schema** - (>= 2.5) The schema the table lies in, for platforms that support schemas
Defining Fields
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each entity class can contain zero to infinite fields that are
managed by Doctrine. You can define them using the ``<field />``
element as a children to the ``<entity />`` element. The field
element is only used for primitive types that are not the ID of the
entity. For the ID mapping you have to use the ``<id />`` element.
.. code-block:: xml
<entity name="MyProject\User">
<field name="name" type="string" length="50" />
<field name="username" type="string" unique="true" />
<field name="age" type="integer" nullable="true" />
<field name="isActive" column="is_active" type="boolean" />
<field name="weight" type="decimal" scale="5" precision="2" />
<field name="login_count" type="integer" nullable="false">
<options>
<option name="comment">The number of times the user has logged in.</option>
<option name="default">0</option>
</options>
</field>
</entity>
Required attributes:
- name - The name of the Property/Field on the given Entity PHP
class.
Optional attributes:
- type - The ``Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type`` name, defaults to
"string"
- column - Name of the column in the database, defaults to the
field name.
- length - The length of the given type, for use with strings
only.
- unique - Should this field contain a unique value across the
table? Defaults to false.
- nullable - Should this field allow NULL as a value? Defaults to
false.
- version - Should this field be used for optimistic locking? Only
works on fields with type integer or datetime.
- scale - Scale of a decimal type.
- precision - Precision of a decimal type.
- options - Array of additional options:
- default - The default value to set for the column if no value
is supplied.
- unsigned - Boolean value to determine if the column should
be capable of representing only non-negative integers
(applies only for integer column and might not be supported by
all vendors).
- fixed - Boolean value to determine if the specified length of
a string column should be fixed or varying (applies only for
string/binary column and might not be supported by all vendors).
- comment - The comment of the column in the schema (might not
be supported by all vendors).
- customSchemaOptions - Array of additional schema options
which are mostly vendor specific.
- column-definition - Optional alternative SQL representation for
this column. This definition begin after the field-name and has to
specify the complete column definition. Using this feature will
turn this field dirty for Schema-Tool update commands at all
times.
.. note::
For more detailed information on each attribute, please refer to
the DBAL ``Schema-Representation`` documentation.
Defining Identity and Generator Strategies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An entity has to have at least one ``<id />`` element. For
composite keys you can specify more than one id-element, however
surrogate keys are recommended for use with Doctrine 2. The Id
field allows to define properties of the identifier and allows a
subset of the ``<field />`` element attributes:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity name="MyProject\User">
<id name="id" type="integer" column="user_id" />
</entity>
Required attributes:
- name - The name of the Property/Field on the given Entity PHP
class.
- type - The ``Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type`` name, preferably
"string" or "integer".
Optional attributes:
- column - Name of the column in the database, defaults to the
field name.
Using the simplified definition above Doctrine will use no
identifier strategy for this entity. That means you have to
manually set the identifier before calling
``EntityManager#persist($entity)``. This is the so called
``NONE`` strategy.
If you want to switch the identifier generation strategy you have
to nest a ``<generator />`` element inside the id-element. This of
course only works for surrogate keys. For composite keys you always
have to use the ``NONE`` strategy.
.. code-block:: xml
<entity name="MyProject\User">
<id name="id" type="integer" column="user_id">
<generator strategy="AUTO" />
</id>
</entity>
The following values are allowed for the ``<generator />`` strategy
attribute:
- AUTO - Automatic detection of the identifier strategy based on
the preferred solution of the database vendor.
- IDENTITY - Use of a IDENTIFY strategy such as Auto-Increment IDs
available to Doctrine AFTER the INSERT statement has been executed.
- SEQUENCE - Use of a database sequence to retrieve the
entity-ids. This is possible before the INSERT statement is
executed.
If you are using the SEQUENCE strategy you can define an additional
element to describe the sequence:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity name="MyProject\User">
<id name="id" type="integer" column="user_id">
<generator strategy="SEQUENCE" />
<sequence-generator sequence-name="user_seq" allocation-size="5" initial-value="1" />
</id>
</entity>
Required attributes for ``<sequence-generator />``:
- sequence-name - The name of the sequence
Optional attributes for ``<sequence-generator />``:
- allocation-size - By how much steps should the sequence be
incremented when a value is retrieved. Defaults to 1
- initial-value - What should the initial value of the sequence
be.
**NOTE**
If you want to implement a cross-vendor compatible application you
have to specify and additionally define the <sequence-generator />
element, if Doctrine chooses the sequence strategy for a
platform.
Defining a Mapped Superclass
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes you want to define a class that multiple entities inherit
from, which itself is not an entity however. The chapter on
*Inheritance Mapping* describes a Mapped Superclass in detail. You
can define it in XML using the ``<mapped-superclass />`` tag.
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping>
<mapped-superclass name="MyProject\BaseClass">
<field name="created" type="datetime" />
<field name="updated" type="datetime" />
</mapped-superclass>
</doctrine-mapping>
Required attributes:
- name - Class name of the mapped superclass.
You can nest any number of ``<field />`` and unidirectional
``<many-to-one />`` or ``<one-to-one />`` associations inside a
mapped superclass.
Defining Inheritance Mappings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are currently two inheritance persistence strategies that you
can choose from when defining entities that inherit from each
other. Single Table inheritance saves the fields of the complete
inheritance hierarchy in a single table, joined table inheritance
creates a table for each entity combining the fields using join
conditions.
You can specify the inheritance type in the ``<entity />`` element
and then use the ``<discriminator-column />`` and
``<discriminator-mapping />`` attributes.
.. code-block:: xml
<entity name="MyProject\Animal" inheritance-type="JOINED">
<discriminator-column name="discr" type="string" />
<discriminator-map>
<discriminator-mapping value="cat" class="MyProject\Cat" />
<discriminator-mapping value="dog" class="MyProject\Dog" />
<discriminator-mapping value="mouse" class="MyProject\Mouse" />
</discriminator-map>
</entity>
The allowed values for inheritance-type attribute are ``JOINED`` or
``SINGLE_TABLE``.
.. note::
All inheritance related definitions have to be defined on the root
entity of the hierarchy.
Defining Lifecycle Callbacks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can define the lifecycle callback methods on your entities
using the ``<lifecycle-callbacks />`` element:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity name="Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Mapping\User" table="cms_users">
<lifecycle-callbacks>
<lifecycle-callback type="prePersist" method="onPrePersist" />
</lifecycle-callbacks>
</entity>
Defining One-To-One Relations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can define One-To-One Relations/Associations using the
``<one-to-one />`` element. The required and optional attributes
depend on the associations being on the inverse or owning side.
For the inverse side the mapping is as simple as:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\User">
<one-to-one field="address" target-entity="Address" mapped-by="user" />
</entity>
Required attributes for inverse One-To-One:
- field - Name of the property/field on the entity's PHP class.
- target-entity - Name of the entity associated entity class. If
this is not qualified the namespace of the current class is
prepended. *IMPORTANT:* No leading backslash!
- mapped-by - Name of the field on the owning side (here Address
entity) that contains the owning side association.
For the owning side this mapping would look like:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\Address">
<one-to-one field="user" target-entity="User" inversed-by="address" />
</entity>
Required attributes for owning One-to-One:
- field - Name of the property/field on the entity's PHP class.
- target-entity - Name of the entity associated entity class. If
this is not qualified the namespace of the current class is
prepended. *IMPORTANT:* No leading backslash!
Optional attributes for owning One-to-One:
- inversed-by - If the association is bidirectional the
inversed-by attribute has to be specified with the name of the
field on the inverse entity that contains the back-reference.
- orphan-removal - If true, the inverse side entity is always
deleted when the owning side entity is. Defaults to false.
- fetch - Either LAZY or EAGER, defaults to LAZY. This attribute
makes only sense on the owning side, the inverse side *ALWAYS* has
to use the ``FETCH`` strategy.
The definition for the owning side relies on a bunch of mapping
defaults for the join column names. Without the nested
``<join-column />`` element Doctrine assumes to foreign key to be
called ``user_id`` on the Address Entities table. This is because
the ``MyProject\Address`` entity is the owning side of this
association, which means it contains the foreign key.
The completed explicitly defined mapping is:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\Address">
<one-to-one field="user" target-entity="User" inversed-by="address">
<join-column name="user_id" referenced-column-name="id" />
</one-to-one>
</entity>
Defining Many-To-One Associations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The many-to-one association is *ALWAYS* the owning side of any
bidirectional association. This simplifies the mapping compared to
the one-to-one case. The minimal mapping for this association looks
like:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\Article">
<many-to-one field="author" target-entity="User" />
</entity>
Required attributes:
- field - Name of the property/field on the entity's PHP class.
- target-entity - Name of the entity associated entity class. If
this is not qualified the namespace of the current class is
prepended. *IMPORTANT:* No leading backslash!
Optional attributes:
- inversed-by - If the association is bidirectional the
inversed-by attribute has to be specified with the name of the
field on the inverse entity that contains the back-reference.
- orphan-removal - If true the entity on the inverse side is
always deleted when the owning side entity is and it is not
connected to any other owning side entity anymore. Defaults to
false.
- fetch - Either LAZY or EAGER, defaults to LAZY.
This definition relies on a bunch of mapping defaults with regards
to the naming of the join-column/foreign key. The explicitly
defined mapping includes a ``<join-column />`` tag nested inside
the many-to-one association tag:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\Article">
<many-to-one field="author" target-entity="User">
<join-column name="author_id" referenced-column-name="id" />
</many-to-one>
</entity>
The join-column attribute ``name`` specifies the column name of the
foreign key and the ``referenced-column-name`` attribute specifies
the name of the primary key column on the User entity.
Defining One-To-Many Associations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The one-to-many association is *ALWAYS* the inverse side of any
association. There exists no such thing as a uni-directional
one-to-many association, which means this association only ever
exists for bi-directional associations.
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\User">
<one-to-many field="phonenumbers" target-entity="Phonenumber" mapped-by="user" />
</entity>
Required attributes:
- field - Name of the property/field on the entity's PHP class.
- target-entity - Name of the entity associated entity class. If
this is not qualified the namespace of the current class is
prepended. *IMPORTANT:* No leading backslash!
- mapped-by - Name of the field on the owning side (here
Phonenumber entity) that contains the owning side association.
Optional attributes:
- fetch - Either LAZY, EXTRA_LAZY or EAGER, defaults to LAZY.
- index-by: Index the collection by a field on the target entity.
Defining Many-To-Many Associations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From all the associations the many-to-many has the most complex
definition. When you rely on the mapping defaults you can omit many
definitions and rely on their implicit values.
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\User">
<many-to-many field="groups" target-entity="Group" />
</entity>
Required attributes:
- field - Name of the property/field on the entity's PHP class.
- target-entity - Name of the entity associated entity class. If
this is not qualified the namespace of the current class is
prepended. *IMPORTANT:* No leading backslash!
Optional attributes:
- mapped-by - Name of the field on the owning side that contains
the owning side association if the defined many-to-many association
is on the inverse side.
- inversed-by - If the association is bidirectional the
inversed-by attribute has to be specified with the name of the
field on the inverse entity that contains the back-reference.
- fetch - Either LAZY, EXTRA_LAZY or EAGER, defaults to LAZY.
- index-by: Index the collection by a field on the target entity.
The mapping defaults would lead to a join-table with the name
"User\_Group" being created that contains two columns "user\_id"
and "group\_id". The explicit definition of this mapping would be:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\User">
<many-to-many field="groups" target-entity="Group">
<join-table name="cms_users_groups">
<join-columns>
<join-column name="user_id" referenced-column-name="id"/>
</join-columns>
<inverse-join-columns>
<join-column name="group_id" referenced-column-name="id"/>
</inverse-join-columns>
</join-table>
</many-to-many>
</entity>
Here both the ``<join-columns>`` and ``<inverse-join-columns>``
tags are necessary to tell Doctrine for which side the specified
join-columns apply. These are nested inside a ``<join-table />``
attribute which allows to specify the table name of the
many-to-many join-table.
Cascade Element
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Doctrine allows cascading of several UnitOfWork operations to
related entities. You can specify the cascade operations in the
``<cascade />`` element inside any of the association mapping
tags.
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\User">
<many-to-many field="groups" target-entity="Group">
<cascade>
<cascade-all/>
</cascade>
</many-to-many>
</entity>
Besides ``<cascade-all />`` the following operations can be
specified by their respective tags:
- ``<cascade-persist />``
- ``<cascade-merge />``
- ``<cascade-remove />``
- ``<cascade-refresh />``
Join Column Element
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In any explicitly defined association mapping you will need the
``<join-column />`` tag. It defines how the foreign key and primary
key names are called that are used for joining two entities.
Required attributes:
- name - The column name of the foreign key.
- referenced-column-name - The column name of the associated
entities primary key
Optional attributes:
- unique - If the join column should contain a UNIQUE constraint.
This makes sense for Many-To-Many join-columns only to simulate a
one-to-many unidirectional using a join-table.
- nullable - should the join column be nullable, defaults to true.
- on-delete - Foreign Key Cascade action to perform when entity is
deleted, defaults to NO ACTION/RESTRICT but can be set to
"CASCADE".
Defining Order of To-Many Associations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can require one-to-many or many-to-many associations to be
retrieved using an additional ``ORDER BY``.
.. code-block:: xml
<entity class="MyProject\User">
<many-to-many field="groups" target-entity="Group">
<order-by>
<order-by-field name="name" direction="ASC" />
</order-by>
</many-to-many>
</entity>
Defining Indexes or Unique Constraints
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To define additional indexes or unique constraints on the entities
table you can use the ``<indexes />`` and
``<unique-constraints />`` elements:
.. code-block:: xml
<entity name="Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Mapping\User" table="cms_users">
<indexes>
<index name="name_idx" columns="name"/>
<index columns="user_email"/>
</indexes>
<unique-constraints>
<unique-constraint columns="name,user_email" name="search_idx" />
</unique-constraints>
</entity>
You have to specify the column and not the entity-class field names
in the index and unique-constraint definitions.
Derived Entities ID syntax
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the primary key of an entity contains a foreign key to another entity we speak of a derived
entity relationship. You can define this in XML with the "association-key" attribute in the ``<id>`` tag.
.. code-block:: xml
<doctrine-mapping xmlns="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping
https://www.doctrine-project.org/schemas/orm/doctrine-mapping.xsd">
<entity name="Application\Model\ArticleAttribute">
<id name="article" association-key="true" />
<id name="attribute" type="string" />
<field name="value" type="string" />
<many-to-one field="article" target-entity="Article" inversed-by="attributes" />
</entity>
</doctrine-mapping>

YAML Mapping
============
.. note::
The YAML driver is deprecated and will be removed in version 3.0.
It is strongly recommended to switch to one of the other mappings.
The YAML mapping driver enables you to provide the ORM metadata in
form of YAML documents.
The YAML mapping document of a class is loaded on-demand the first
time it is requested and subsequently stored in the metadata cache.
In order to work, this requires certain conventions:
- Each entity/mapped superclass must get its own dedicated YAML
mapping document.
- The name of the mapping document must consist of the fully
qualified name of the class, where namespace separators are
replaced by dots (.).
- All mapping documents should get the extension ".dcm.yml" to
identify it as a Doctrine mapping file. This is more of a
convention and you are not forced to do this. You can change the
file extension easily enough.
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$driver->setFileExtension('.yml');
It is recommended to put all YAML mapping documents in a single
folder but you can spread the documents over several folders if you
want to. In order to tell the YamlDriver where to look for your
mapping documents, supply an array of paths as the first argument
of the constructor, like this:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\YamlDriver;
// $config instanceof Doctrine\ORM\Configuration
$driver = new YamlDriver(array('/path/to/files'));
$config->setMetadataDriverImpl($driver);
Simplified YAML Driver
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Symfony project sponsored a driver that simplifies usage of the YAML Driver.
The changes between the original driver are:
- File Extension is .orm.yml
- Filenames are shortened, "MyProject\\Entities\\User" will become User.orm.yml
- You can add a global file and add multiple entities in this file.
Configuration of this client works a little bit different:
.. code-block:: php
<?php
$namespaces = array(
'/path/to/files1' => 'MyProject\Entities',
'/path/to/files2' => 'OtherProject\Entities'
);
$driver = new \Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Driver\SimplifiedYamlDriver($namespaces);
$driver->setGlobalBasename('global'); // global.orm.yml
Example
-------
As a quick start, here is a small example document that makes use
of several common elements:
.. code-block:: yaml
# Doctrine.Tests.ORM.Mapping.User.dcm.yml
Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Mapping\User:
type: entity
repositoryClass: Doctrine\Tests\ORM\Mapping\UserRepository
table: cms_users
schema: schema_name # The schema the table lies in, for platforms that support schemas (Optional, >= 2.5)
readOnly: true
indexes:
name_index:
columns: [ name ]
id:
id:
type: integer
generator:

length: 32
column: user_email
unique: true
options:

manyToMany:
groups:
targetEntity: Group
joinTable:

referencedColumnName: id
inverseJoinColumns:
group_id:
referencedColumnName: id
lifecycleCallbacks:
prePersist: [ doStuffOnPrePersist, doOtherStuffOnPrePersistToo ]
postPersist: [ doStuffOnPostPersist ]
Be aware that class-names specified in the YAML files should be
fully qualified.

Unique Constraints
------------------
It is possible to define unique constraints by the following declaration:
.. code-block:: yaml
# ECommerceProduct.orm.yml
ECommerceProduct:
type: entity
fields:
# definition of some fields
uniqueConstraints:
search_idx:
columns: [ name, email ]
