Question

Is there a way to retrieve the column’s comment (like from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMN table on MySQL) from a certain table without actually “hardcode” the query with Doctrine ORM?

Answer 1

Finally I found an way. what I was trying to do was get a column comment from inside a Controller

//lets say we have a table named 'product'
//and we want to get the comment from the 'name' column
//first we get a list of columns from 'product'
$columns = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager()->getConnection()->getSchemaManager()->listTableColumns('product');
//then we just access getComment function from the 'Column' class
//for the 'name' column:
echo $columns['name']->getComment();
