Conclusion

Now we have gone over some of the most common attributes used to configure Doctrine. Some of these attributes may not apply to you ever or you may not understand what you could use them for now. As you read the next chapters you will see which attributes you do and don't need to use and things will begin to make more sense.

If you saw some attributes you wanted to change the value above, then you should have added it to your bootstrap.php file and it should look something like the following now:

/**
 * Bootstrap Doctrine.php, register autoloader and specify
 * configuration attributes
 */

require_once('../doctrine/branches/1.2/lib/Doctrine.php');
spl_autoload_register(array('Doctrine', 'autoload'));
$manager = Doctrine_Manager::getInstance();

$conn = Doctrine_Manager::connection('sqlite::memory:', 'doctrine');

$manager->setAttribute(Doctrine_Core::ATTR_VALIDATE, Doctrine_Core::VALIDATE_ALL);
$manager->setAttribute(Doctrine_Core::ATTR_EXPORT, Doctrine_Core::EXPORT_ALL);
$manager->setAttribute(Doctrine_Core::ATTR_MODEL_LOADING, Doctrine_Core::MODEL_LOADING_CONSERVATIVE);

Now we are ready to move on to the next chapter where we will learn everything there is to know about Doctrine Connections.
