Doctrine MongoDB ODM 1.0.0ALPHA1 Released

Today I am very happy to announce the release of the first alpha version of the Doctrine MongoDB Object Document Mapper. This is exciting as it is the beginning of a whole new chapter in the life of the Doctrine Project. We hope to continue adding packages to allow you to transparently persist your domain objects to a variety of different database engines!

Features

Below you will find a list of some of the features provided by the Doctrine MongoDB Object Document Mapper:

• Transparent persistence.
• Map one or many embedded documents.
• Map one or many referenced documents.
• Create references between documents in different databases.
• Map documents with Annotations, XML, YAML or plain old PHP code.
• Documents can be stored on the MongoGridFS.
• Collection per class(concrete) and single collection inheritance supported.
• Map your Doctrine 2 ORM Entities to the ODM and use mixed data stores.
• Inserts are performed using MongoCollection::batchInsert()
• Updates are performed using the atomic operators $set, $pullAll, $pushAll and $increment instead of saving the entire document.
• Migrate your schema as your domain model evolves and changes.
• Fluent Object Oriented Interface for building and executing queries.
• Map Reduce integration.
