Question

How could I fetch all the information about all the models or tables I have in the database using Doctrine 1.2 in Symfony 1.4.

I need to make a demo about capifony/git/migrations. So I want for an user to perform the following:

• clone the repository
• make a change on the template (any text)
• change schema.yml and generate the migrations-diff
• deploy

So I need to list all the models or tables and each with its columns. In order to demonstrate that the process works

Answer 1

Doctrine_Connection has a function called getTables(), I assume you can get a list of the tables on that connection calling it. According to this it returns an array of Doctrine_Table instances.

That class contains an array of its column definitions, which you can retrieve by calling getColumns().

I hope that’s enough to get you started.
