Bug Critical Resolved Invalid All Benjamin Eberlei sina miandashti Wed, 13 Jul 2011 07:08:07 +0000 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:54:22 +0000 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 17:06:20 +0000 2.0.6 Mapping Drivers 0 1 <p>This is not a supported feature, if you set the collation in the CREATE DATABASE statement this will inherit to all fields automatically.</p> <p>Actually Doctrine 2.3.0 does not allow inheritance. Please look at Issue #<a href="http://www.doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DDC-2139" title="Table collate/charset doesn&#39;t inherits from database"><del>DDC-2139</del></a> . At least, if there's an option to set a global default collation (wich I didn't find), the problem will occurs every time a table of string/varchar field was created by Symfony2 Doctrine Command.</p>
