Question

I can generate my models and schema.yml file based on an existing database. But when I try to do it the other way around using Doctrine::createTablesFromModels() i get an error:

Syntax error or access violation: 1064

So either of these works:

    Doctrine::generateYamlFromDb(APPPATH . 'models/yaml');
    Doctrine::generateYamlFromModels(APPPATH . 'models/yaml', APPPATH . 'models');
    Doctrine::generateModelsFromYaml(APPPATH . 'models/yaml', APPPATH . 'models', array('generateTableClasses' => true));
    Doctrine::generateModelsFromDb(APPATH . 'models', array('default'), array('generateTableClasses' => true));

But this fails (it drops/creates the database and around 50 tables):

    Doctrine::dropDatabases();
    Doctrine::createDatabases();
    Doctrine::createTablesFromModels();

The partially outputted SQL query shows that the error is around the Notification object which looks like this:

Any leads would be highly appreciated!

Doctrine_Manager::getInstance()->bindComponent('Notification', 'default');

Answer 1

I am using reserved words as column names (later on also as table names) and the ‘quoting’ option for Doctrine didn’t seem to be turned on automatically….
