While execuiting

doctrine orm:convert-mapping --from-database yml /tmp/test.yml

I get presented an error

[Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\SchemaException]
Invalid index-name tablename_"input"_idx given, has to be [a-zA-Z0-9_]

The index "type" is quoted because this is a reserved word in Postgres. for example see the following definition:

FOREIGN KEY (something) REFERENCES somethings(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE
FOREIGN KEY (another) REFERENCES anothers(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE
FOREIGN KEY ("type") REFERENCES logtypes(id) ON UPDATE CASCADE

Only type will be quoted because it is a reserved word.

Methods in the MySql Platform that use the table name are not escaping the table name. This causes problems when your table name is the same as a reserved word in MySql. Example:

public function getListTableConstraintsSQL($table)

If my table name is User this method will fail and cause a SQL error because the word User is a reserved word in MySql. You need to escape the table name with backticks to prevent these errors. Example:

public function getListTableConstraintsSQL($table)

I encountered this problem while reverse engineering my existing MySql database. I've attached a fixed version that solved my reverse engineering problems.

When running dbal:import, I receive the following error :

Undefined variable: printer in /frameworks/doctrine-orm/Doctrine/DBAL/Tools/Console/Command/ImportCommand.php on line 113

113 : $printer->writeln('OK!');

Other output is implemented using $output->write();

In basic mapping section

Quote:

When you have implemented the type you still need to let Doctrine know about it. This can be achieved through the Doctrine\DBAL\Configuration#setCustomTypes(array $types) method. Doctrine\ORM\Configuration is a subclass of Doctrine\DBAL\Configuration, so the methods are available on your ORM Configuration instance as well.

The method seems to have been removed on this commit 354ede

When trying to generate update SQL on MySQL running in ANSI SQL mode you get the error:
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'BASE TABLE' in 'where clause'

This is caused by the use of identifier quotes (") instead of literal quotes (') in the query
SHOW FULL TABLES WHERE Table_type = "BASE TABLE"

This is in MySqlPlatform#getListTablesSQL()

I have an entity like this:

/**
 * @orm:Entity
 */
class Product
{
    /**
     * @orm:Id
     * @orm:Column(name="Merchant",type="string",length=50)
     */
    protected $merchant;

    /**
     * @orm:Column(name="Name",type="string",length=500)
     */
    protected $name;
}

When I change the length of $name field to 4000 it updates the schema like it is supposed to:

php.exe -f console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql
ALTER TABLE product CHANGE Name Name VARCHAR(4000) NOT NULL

But when I change the length to 5000 it just silently without any warning uses value 255 instead:

php.exe -f console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql
ALTER TABLE product CHANGE Name Name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL

I had to look into actual table definition using mysql browser to find this issue because doctrine doesn't even warn about it. This could lead to some pretty serious bugs!
