Question

I need to use a native query, because I need to ORDER BY RAND() and it’s currently not possible (afaik) even with custom function.

However, if I use native query, I need to explictly set the column to fetch to allow an Object Hydration, and you may guess, I’ve a lot of column, so it’s kinda boring to set it all.

Any ideas?

You should never use ORDER BY RAND() even in native query, you should use

SELECT rand() as rand,* .... ORDER BY rand

I think it is quite possible with doctrine
