We described the genus table to Doctrine via annotations, but this table doesn't
exist yet. No worries - Doctrine can create it for us!
And actually, we don't even have a database yet. Doctrine can also handle this. Head to the terminal use the console to run:
./bin/console doctrine:database:createBut wait! Can Doctrine do this yet? We haven't told it anything about the database: not the name we want, the user or the password.
Where do we do that? The same place that everything, meaning all services are
configured: app/config/config.yml. Scroll down to the doctrine key:
| ... lines 1 - 43 | |
| # Doctrine Configuration | |
| doctrine: | |
| dbal: | |
| driver: pdo_mysql | |
| host: "%database_host%" | |
| port: "%database_port%" | |
| dbname: "%database_name%" | |
| user: "%database_user%" | |
| password: "%database_password%" | |
| charset: UTF8 | |
| # if using pdo_sqlite as your database driver: | |
| # 1. add the path in parameters.yml | |
| # e.g. database_path: "%kernel.root_dir%/data/data.db3" | |
| # 2. Uncomment database_path in parameters.yml.dist | |
| # 3. Uncomment next line: | |
| # path: "%database_path%" | |
| ... lines 60 - 72 |
Ah, this is what tells Doctrine all about your database connection.
But, the information is not hardcoded here - these are references to parameters
that are defined in parameters.yml:
| ... lines 1 - 3 | |
| parameters: | |
| database_host: 127.0.0.1 | |
| database_port: ~ | |
| database_name: symfony | |
| database_user: root | |
| database_password: ~ | |
| # You should uncomment this if you want use pdo_sqlite | |
| # database_path: "%kernel.root_dir%/data.db3" | |
| ... lines 12 - 15 |
Update the database_name to aqua_note and on my super-secure local machine,
the database user is root with no password.

Back to the terminal! Now hit enter on the command:
./bin/console doctrine:database:createDatabase created. To create the table, run:
./bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sqlThis looks great - CREATE TABLE genus with the two columns. But this didn't execute
the query yet - the --dump-sql option is used to preview the query if you're curious.
Replace it with --force.
./bin/console doctrine:schema:update --forceSo hey guys, this is really cool - we can be totally lazy and let Doctrine do all
the heavy database-lifting for us. This doctrine:schema:update command is actually
more powerful than it looks - it's going to "wow" us in a few minutes.
But first, let's learn how to insert data into the new table.
