Upgrade to 4.0

BC BREAK: Removed ExpressionBuilder methods

The andX() and orX() methods of the ExpressionBuilder class have been removed. Use and() and or() instead.

BC BREAK: Removed CompositeExpression methods

The add() and addMultiple() methods of the CompositeExpression class have been removed. Use with() instead, which returns a new instance. The CompositeExpression class is now immutable.

BC BREAK: Changes in the QueryBuilder API.

  1. The select(), addSelect(), groupBy() and addGroupBy() methods no longer accept an array of arguments. Pass each expression as an individual argument or expand an array of expressions using the ... operator.
  2. The select(), addSelect(), groupBy() and addGroupBy() methods no longer ignore the first argument if it's empty.
  3. The addSelect() method can be no longer called without arguments.
  4. The insert(), update() and delete() methods now require the $table parameter, and do not support aliases anymore.
  5. The add(), getQueryPart(), getQueryParts(), resetQueryPart() and resetQueryParts() methods are removed.
  6. For a select() query, the getSQL() method now throws an expression if no SELECT expressions have been provided.

BC BREAK: OCI8Statement::convertPositionalToNamedPlaceholders() is removed.

The OCI8Statement::convertPositionalToNamedPlaceholders() method has been extracted to an internal utility class.

BC BREAK: Dropped handling of one-based numeric arrays of parameters in Statement::execute()

The statement implementations no longer detect whether $params is a zero- or one-based array. A zero-based numeric array is expected.

BC BREAK: ServerInfoAwareConnection::requiresQueryForServerVersion() is removed.

The ServerInfoAwareConnection::requiresQueryForServerVersion() method has been removed as an implementation detail which is the same for almost all supported drivers.

BC BREAK: PingableConnection and ServerInfoAwareConnection interfaces now extends Connection

All implementations of the PingableConnection and ServerInfoAwareConnection interfaces have to implement the methods defined in the Connection interface as well.

BC BREAK: VersionAwarePlatformDriver interface now extends Driver

All implementations of the VersionAwarePlatformDriver interface have to implement the methods defined in the Driver interface as well.

BC BREAK: Removed support for PostgreSQL 9.3 and older

DBAL now requires PostgeSQL 9.4 or newer, support for unmaintained versions has been dropped. If you are using any of the legacy versions, you have to upgrade to newer PostgreSQL version (9.6+ is recommended).

BC BREAK: Changes in handling string and binary columns

  • When generating schema DDL, DBAL no longer provides the default length for string and binary columns. The application may need to provide the column length if required by the target platform.
  • The \DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform::getVarcharTypeDeclarationSQL() method has been renamed to ::getStringTypeDeclarationSQL().
  • The following AbstractPlatform methods have been removed as no longer relevant: ::getCharMaxLength(), ::getVarcharMaxLength(), ::getVarcharDefaultLength(), ::getBinaryMaxLength(), ::getBinaryDefaultLength().

BC BREAK: Changes in Doctrine\DBAL\Event\SchemaCreateTableEventArgs

  • Removed unused method Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\SqliteSchemaManager::_getPortableTableIndexDefinition()

BC BREAK: Changes in the Doctrine\DBAL\Driver API

  1. The $username and $password arguments of ::connect() are no longer nullable. Use an empty string to indicate empty username or password.
  2. The return value of ::getDatabase() has been documented as nullable since some of the drivers allow establishing a connection without selecting a database.

BC BREAK: Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::getName() removed

The Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::getName() has been removed.

BC BREAK Removed previously deprecated features

  • Removed json_array type and all associated hacks.

BC BREAK PostgreSqlPlatform ForeignKeyConstraint support for feferred misspelling removed

PostgreSqlPlatform::getAdvancedForeignKeyOptionsSQL() had a typo in it in 2.x. Both the option name feferred and deferred were supported in 2.x but the misspelling was removed in 3.x.

BC BREAK AbstractSchemaManager::extractDoctrineTypeFromComment() changed, ::removeDoctrineTypeFromComment() removed

AbstractSchemaManager::extractDoctrineTypeFromComment() made protected. It takes the comment by reference, removes the type annotation from it and returns the extracted Doctrine type.

BC BREAK ::errorCode() and ::errorInfo() removed from Connection and Statement APIs

The error information is available in DriverException trown in case of an error.

BC BREAK Changes in driver exceptions

  1. The Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\DriverException::getErrorCode() method is removed. In order to obtain the driver error code, please use ::getCode().
  2. Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException no longer extends PDOException.
  3. The value returned by Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException::getSQLState() no longer falls back to the driver error code.

The method was used internally and is no longer needed.

BC BREAK DB2SchemaManager::_getPortableForeignKeyRuleDef() removed

The method was used internally and is no longer needed.

  • the $years argument in ::getDateSubYearsExpression().

Please use the strings representing numeric SQL literals instead (e.g. '1' instead of 1).

The signature of AbstractPlatform::getConcatExpression() changed to ::getConcatExpression(string ...$string).

BC BREAK The type of $start in AbstractPlatform::getLocateExpression() changed from string|false to ?string

The default value of $start is now null, not false.

BC BREAK The types of $start and $length in AbstractPlatform::getSubstringExpression() changed from int and ?int to string and ?string respectively

The platform abstraction allows building arbitrary SQL expressions, so even if the arguments represent numeric literals, they should be passed as a string.

BC BREAK The type of $char in AbstractPlatform::getTrimExpression() changed from string|false to ?string

The default value of $char is now null, not false. Additionally, the method will throw an InvalidArgumentException in an invalid value of $mode is passed.

BC BREAK Statement::rowCount() is moved.

Statement::rowCount() has been moved to the ResultStatement interface where it belongs by definition.

BC BREAK Transaction-related Statement methods return void.

Statement::beginTransaction(), ::commit() and ::rollBack() no longer return a boolean value. They will throw a DriverException in case of failure.

MINOR BC BREAK Statement::fetchColumn() with an invalid index.

Similarly to PDOStatement::fetchColumn(), DBAL statements throw an exception in case of an invalid column index.

BC BREAK Statement::execute() with redundant parameters.

Similarly to the drivers based on pdo_pgsql and pdo_sqlsrv, OCI8Statement::execute() and MySQLiStatement::execute() do not longer ignore redundant parameters.

BC BREAK: Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getDefaultLength() removed

The Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getDefaultLength() method has been removed as it served no purpose.

BC BREAK: Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::__toString() removed

Relying on string representation was discouraged and has been removed.

BC BREAK: The NULL value of $offset in LIMIT queries is not allowed

The NULL value of the $offset argument in AbstractPlatform::(do)?ModifyLimitQuery() methods is no longer allowed. The absence of the offset should be indicated with a 0 which is now the default value.

BC BREAK: Removed support for DB-generated UUIDs

The support for DB-generated UUIDs was removed as non-portable. Please generate UUIDs on the application side (e.g. using ramsey/uuid).

BC BREAK: Removed MsSQLKeywords class

The Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MsSQLKeywords has been removed. Please use Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\SQLServerPlatform instead.

BC BREAK: Removed PDO DB2 driver

The following class has been removed:

  • Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOIbm\Driver

BC BREAK: Removed support for SQL Anywhere 12 and older

DBAL now requires SQL Anywhere 16 or newer, support for unmaintained versions has been dropped. If you are using any of the legacy versions, you have to upgrade to newer SQL Anywhere version (16+).

BC BREAK: Removed Drizzle support

The Drizzle project is abandoned and is therefore not supported by Doctrine DBAL anymore.

BC BREAK: SQLLogger changes

  • The SQLLogger interface has changed; the methods are the same but use scalar type hints, return types, and non-nullable arrays.
  • SQLLogger implementations: DebugStack, EchoSQLLogger, LoggerChain are now final.
  • Configuration::getSQLLogger() does not return null anymore, but a NullLogger implementation.
  • Configuration::setSQLLogger() does not allow null anymore.

Upgrade to 3.0

BC BREAK: Removed Doctrine\DBAL\Version

The Doctrine\DBAL\Version class is no longer available: please refrain from checking the DBAL version at runtime.

BC BREAK User-provided PDO instance is no longer supported

In order to share the same PDO instances between DBAL and other components, initialize the connection in DBAL and access it using Connection::getWrappedConnection()->getWrappedConnection().

BC BREAK: the PDO symbols are no longer part of the DBAL API

  1. The support of PDO::PARAM_*, PDO::FETCH_*, PDO::CASE_* and PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT constants in the DBAL API is removed.
  2. \Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOConnection does not extend \PDO anymore. Please use \Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOConnection::getWrappedConnection() to access the underlying PDO object.
  3. \Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOStatement does not extend \PDOStatement anymore.

Before:

use Doctrine\DBAL\Portability\Connection;

use Doctrine\DBAL\FetchMode;
use Doctrine\DBAL\ParameterType;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Portability\Connection;

$params = array(
    'wrapperClass' => Connection::class,
    'fetch_case' => ColumnCase::LOWER,
);

$stmt->bindValue(1, 1, ParameterType::INTEGER);
$stmt->fetchAll(FetchMode::COLUMN);

BC BREAK: Removed dbal:import CLI command

The dbal:import CLI command has been removed since it only worked with PDO-based drivers by relying on a non-documented behavior of the extension, and it was impossible to make it work with other drivers. Please use other database client applications for import, e.g.:

  • For MySQL and MariaDB: mysql [dbname] < data.sql.
  • For PostgreSQL: psql [dbname] < data.sql.
  • For SQLite: sqlite3 /path/to/file.db < data.sql.

Upgrade to 2.11

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Version class

The usage of the Doctrine\DBAL\Version class is deprecated as internal implementation detail. Please refrain from checking the DBAL version at runtime.

Deprecated ExpressionBuilder methods

The usage of the andX() and orX() methods of the ExpressionBuilder class has been deprecated. Use and() and or() instead.

Deprecated CompositeExpression methods

  • The usage of the add() and addMultiple() methods of the CompositeExpression class has been deprecated. Use with() instead, which returns a new instance. In the future, the add*() methods will be removed and the class will be effectively immutable.
  • The usage of the CompositeExpression constructor has been deprecated. Use the and() / or() factory methods.

Deprecated calling QueryBuilder methods with an array argument

Calling the select(), addSelect(), groupBy() and addGroupBy() methods with an array argument is deprecated.

Upgrade to 2.10

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Event\ConnectionEventArgs methods

The usage of the getDriver(), getDatabasePlatform() and getSchemaManager() methods of the ConnectionEventArgs class has been deprecated. Obtain the underlying connection via getConnection() and call the corresponding methods on the connection instance.

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Event\SchemaColumnDefinitionEventArgs methods

The usage of the getDatabasePlatform() method of the SchemaColumnDefinitionEventArgs class has been deprecated. Obtain the underlying connection via getConnection() and call the corresponding method on the connection instance.

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Connection methods

The usage of the getHost(), getPort(), getUsername() and getPassword() methods of the Connection class has been deprecated as they leak implementation details.

Deprecated array of statements in addSql() of SchemaEventArgs-based classes.

Passing multiple SQL statements as an array to SchemaAlterTableAddColumnEventArgs::addSql() and the same method in other SchemaEventArgs-based classes is deprecated. Pass each statement as an individual argument instead.

Deprecated calling AbstractSchemaManager::tablesExist() with a string argument.

Instead of passing a string, pass a one-element array.

Deprecated calling OracleSchemaManager::createDatabase() without an argument or by passing NULL.

In order to create a database, always pass the database name.

Deprecated unused schema manager methods.

The following methods have been deprecated as unused:

  • AbstractSchemaManager::_getPortableFunctionsList(),
  • AbstractSchemaManager::_getPortableFunctionDefinition(),
  • OracleSchemaManager::_getPortableFunctionDefinition(),
  • SqliteSchemaManager::_getPortableTableIndexDefinition().

Deprecations in Doctrine\DBAL\Driver

  • The usage of NULL to indicate empty $username or $password when calling connect() is deprecated. Use an empty string instead.

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms::_getAlterTableIndexForeignKeySQL()

Method Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms::_getAlterTableIndexForeignKeySQL() has been deprecated as no longer used.

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\OCI8\OCI8Statement::$_PARAM

Property Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\OCI8\OCI8Statement::$_PARAM has been deprecated as not used.

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Driver::getName()

Relying on the name of the driver is discouraged. For referencing the driver, use its class name.

Deprecated usage of user-provided PDO instance

The usage of user-provided PDO instance is deprecated. The known use cases are:

  1. Persistent PDO connections. DBAL 3.0 will supported establishing persistent connections, therefore, providing a pre-created persistent PDO connection will be no longer needed.
  2. Sharing PDO instance between DBAL and legacy components. In order to share a PDO instance, initialize the connection in DBAL and access it using Connection::getWrappedConnection()->getWrappedConnection().

MINOR BC BREAK: Default values are no longer handled as SQL expressions

They are converted to SQL literals (e.g. escaped). Clients must now specify default values in their initial form, not in the form of an SQL literal (e.g. escaped).

Before:

$column->setDefault('Foo\\\\Bar\\\\Baz');

After:

$column->setDefault('Foo\\Bar\\Baz');

Deprecated Type::* constants

The constants for built-in types have been moved from Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type to a separate class Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Types.

Some of the constants were renamed in the process:

  • TARRAY-> ARRAY
  • DATE -> DATE_MUTABLE
  • DATETIME -> DATETIME_MUTABLE
  • DATETIMETZ -> DATETIMETZ_MUTABLE
  • TIME -> TIME_MUTABLE

Deprecated SQLSrvStatement::LAST_INSERT_ID_SQL constant

Calls to Statement::fetchColumn() with an invalid column index currently return NULL. In the future, such calls will result in a exception.

Deprecated Configuration::getFilterSchemaAssetsExpression(), ::setFilterSchemaAssetsExpression() and AbstractSchemaManager::getFilterSchemaAssetsExpression().

Regular expression-based filters are hard to extend by combining together. Instead, you may use callback-based filers via ::getSchemaAssetsFilter() and ::getSchemaAssetsFilter(). Callbacks can use regular expressions internally.

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getDefaultLength()

This method was never used by DBAL internally. It is now deprecated and will be removed in DBAL 3.0.

Deprecated Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::__toString()

Relying on string representation is discouraged and will be removed in DBAL 3.0.

Deprecated NULL value of $offset in LIMIT queries

The NULL value of the $offset argument in AbstractPlatform::(do)?ModifyLimitQuery() methods is deprecated. If explicitly used in the method call, the absence of the offset should be indicated with a 0.

Deprecated dbal:import CLI command

The dbal:import CLI command has been deprecated since it only works with PDO-based drivers by relying on a non-documented behavior of the extension, and it's impossible to make it work with other drivers. Please use other database client applications for import, e.g.:

  • For MySQL and MariaDB: mysql [dbname] < data.sql.
  • For PostgreSQL: psql [dbname] < data.sql.
  • For SQLite: sqlite3 /path/to/file.db < data.sql.

Upgrade to 2.8

Deprecated usage of DB-generated UUIDs

The format of DB-generated UUIDs is inconsistent across supported platforms and therefore is not portable. Some of the platforms produce UUIDv1, some produce UUIDv4, some produce the values which are not even UUID.

Unless UUIDs are used in stored procedures which DBAL doesn't support, there's no real benefit of DB-generated UUIDs comparing to the application-generated ones.

Use a PHP library (e.g. ramsey/uuid) to generate UUIDs on the application side.

Deprecated usage of binary fields whose length exceeds the platform maximum

  • The usage of binary fields whose length exceeds the maximum field size on a given platform is deprecated. Use binary fields of a size which fits all target platforms, or use blob explicitly instead.

Removed dependency on doctrine/common

The dependency on doctrine/common package has been removed. DBAL now depends on doctrine/cache and doctrine/event-manager instead. If you are using any other component from doctrine/common package, you will have to add an explicit dependency to your composer.json.

Corrected exception thrown by Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\SQLAnywhere16Platform::getAdvancedIndexOptionsSQL()

This method now throws SPL UnexpectedValueException instead of accidentally throwing Doctrine\Common\Proxy\Exception\UnexpectedValueException.

Upgrade to 2.7

Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform::DATE_INTERVAL_UNIT_* constants deprecated

Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform::DATE_INTERVAL_UNIT_* constants were moved into Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\DateIntervalUnit class without the DATE_INTERVAL_UNIT_ prefix.

Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform::TRIM_* constants deprecated

Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform::TRIM_* constants were moved into Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\TrimMode class without the TRIM_ prefix.

Doctrine\DBAL\Connection::TRANSACTION_* constants deprecated

Doctrine\DBAL\Connection::TRANSACTION_* were moved into Doctrine\DBAL\TransactionIsolationLevel class without the TRANSACTION_ prefix.

DEPRECATION: direct usage of the PDO APIs in the DBAL API

  1. When calling Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\Statement methods, instead of PDO::PARAM_* constants, Doctrine\DBAL\ParameterType constants should be used.
  2. When calling Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement methods, instead of PDO::FETCH_* constants, Doctrine\DBAL\FetchMode constants should be used.
  3. When configuring Doctrine\DBAL\Portability\Connection, instead of PDO::CASE_* constants, Doctrine\DBAL\ColumnCase constants should be used.
  4. Usage of PDO::PARAM_INPUT_OUTPUT in Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\Statement::bindValue() is deprecated.
  5. Usage of PDO::FETCH_FUNC in Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement::fetch() is deprecated.
  6. Calls to \PDOStatement methods on a \Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOStatement instance (e.g. fetchObject()) are deprecated.

Upgrade to 2.6

MINOR BC BREAK: fetch() and fetchAll() method signatures in Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement

  1. Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement::fetch() now has 3 arguments instead of 1, respecting PDO::fetch() signature.

Before:

Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement::fetch($fetchMode);

After:

Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement::fetch($fetchMode, $cursorOrientation, $cursorOffset);
  1. Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement::fetchAll() now has 3 arguments instead of 1, respecting PDO::fetchAll() signature.

Before:

Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement::fetchAll($fetchMode);

After:

Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\ResultStatement::fetch($fetchMode, $fetchArgument, $ctorArgs);

MINOR BC BREAK: URL-style DSN with percentage sign in password

URL-style DSNs (e.g. mysql://foo@bar:localhost/db) are now assumed to be percent-encoded in order to allow certain special characters in usernames, paswords and database names. If you are using a URL-style DSN and have a username, password or database name containing a percentage sign, you need to update your DSN. If your password is, say, foo%foo, it should be encoded as foo%25foo.

Upgrade to 2.5.1

MINOR BC BREAK: Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table

When adding indexes to Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table via addIndex() or addUniqueIndex(), duplicate indexes are not silently ignored/dropped anymore (based on semantics, not naming!). Duplicate indexes are considered indexes that pass isFullfilledBy() or overrules() in Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Index. This is required to make the index renaming feature introduced in 2.5.0 work properly and avoid issues in the ORM schema tool / DBAL schema manager which pretends users from updating their schemas and migrate to DBAL 2.5.*. Additionally it offers more flexibility in declaring indexes for the user and potentially fixes related issues in the ORM. With this change, the responsibility to decide which index is a "duplicate" is completely deferred to the user. Please also note that adding foreign key constraints to a table via addForeignKeyConstraint(), addUnnamedForeignKeyConstraint() or addNamedForeignKeyConstraint() now first checks if an appropriate index is already present and avoids adding an additional auto-generated one eventually.

Upgrade to 2.5

BC BREAK: time type resets date fields to UNIX epoch

When mapping time type field to PHP's DateTime instance all unused date fields are reset to UNIX epoch (i.e. 1970-01-01). This might break any logic which relies on comparing DateTime instances with date fields set to the current date.

Use ! format prefix (see http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php) for parsing time strings to prevent having different date fields when comparing user input and DateTime instances as mapped by Doctrine.

BC BREAK: Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table

The methods addIndex() and addUniqueIndex() in Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table have an additional, optional parameter. If you override these methods, you should add this new parameter to the declaration of your overridden methods.

BC BREAK: Doctrine\DBAL\Connection

The visibility of the property $_platform in Doctrine\DBAL\Connection was changed from protected to private. If you have subclassed Doctrine\DBAL\Connection in your application and accessed $_platform directly, you have to change the code portions to use getDatabasePlatform() instead to retrieve the underlying database platform. The reason for this change is the new automatic platform version detection feature, which lazily evaluates the appropriate platform class to use for the underlying database server version at runtime. Please also note, that calling getDatabasePlatform() now needs to establish a connection in order to evaluate the appropriate platform class if Doctrine\DBAL\Connection is not already connected. Under the following circumstances, it is not possible anymore to retrieve the platform instance from the connection object without having to do a real connect:

  1. Doctrine\DBAL\Connection was instantiated without the platform connection parameter.
  2. Doctrine\DBAL\Connection was instantiated without the serverVersion connection parameter.
  3. The underlying driver is "version aware" and can provide different platform instances for different versions.
  4. The underlying driver connection is "version aware" and can provide the database server version without having to query for it.

If one of the above conditions is NOT met, there is no need for Doctrine\DBAL\Connection to do a connect when calling getDatabasePlatform().

datetime Type uses date_create() as fallback

Before 2.5 the DateTime type always required a specific format, defined in $platform->getDateTimeFormatString(), which could cause quite some troubles on platforms that had various microtime precision formats. Starting with 2.5 whenever the parsing of a date fails with the predefined platform format, the date_create() function will be used to parse the date.

This could cause some troubles when your date format is weird and not parsed correctly by date_create, however since databases are rather strict on dates there should be no problem.

Support for pdo_ibm driver removed

The pdo_ibm driver is buggy and does not work well with Doctrine. Therefore it will no longer be supported and has been removed from the Doctrine\DBAL\DriverManager drivers map. It is highly encouraged to to use ibm_db2 driver instead if you want to connect to an IBM DB2 database as it is much more stable and secure.

If for some reason you have to utilize the pdo_ibm driver you can still use the driverClass connection parameter to explicitly specify the Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOIbm\Driver class. However be aware that you are doing this at your own risk and it will not be guaranteed that Doctrine will work as expected.

Upgrade to 2.4

Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Constraint

If you have custom classes that implement the constraint interface, you have to implement an additional method getQuotedColumns now. This method is used to build proper constraint SQL for columns that need to be quoted, like keywords reserved by the specific platform used. The method has to return the same values as getColumns only that those column names that need quotation have to be returned quoted for the given platform.

Upgrade to 2.3

Oracle Session Init now sets Numeric Character

Before 2.3 the Oracle Session Init did not care about the numeric character of the Session. This could lead to problems on non english locale systems that required a comma as a floating point seperator in Oracle. Since 2.3, using the Oracle Session Init on connection start the client session will be altered to set the numeric character to ".,":

ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '.,'

See DBAL-345 for more details.

Doctrine\DBAL\Connection and Doctrine\DBAL\Statement

The query related methods including but not limited to executeQuery, exec, query, and executeUpdate now wrap the driver exceptions such as PDOException with DBALException to add more debugging information such as the executed SQL statement, and any bound parameters.

If you want to retrieve the driver specific exception, you can retrieve it by calling the getPrevious() method on DBALException.

Before:

catch(\PDOException $ex) {
    // ...
}

After:

catch(\Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException $ex) {
    $pdoException = $ex->getPrevious();
    // ...
}

Doctrine\DBAL\Connection#setCharsetSQL() removed

This method only worked on MySQL and it is considered unsafe on MySQL to use SET NAMES UTF-8 instead of setting the charset directly on connection already. Replace this behavior with the connection charset option:

Before:

$conn = DriverManager::getConnection(array(..));
$conn->setCharset('UTF8');

After:

$conn = DriverManager::getConnection(array('charset' => 'UTF8', ..));

Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table#renameColumn() removed

Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\Table#renameColumn() was removed, because it drops and recreates the column instead. There is no fix available, because a schema diff cannot reliably detect if a column was renamed or one column was created and another one dropped.

You should use explicit SQL ALTER TABLE statements to change columns names.

Schema Filter paths

The Filter Schema assets expression is not wrapped in () anymore for the regexp automatically.

Before:

$config->setFilterSchemaAssetsExpression('foo');

After:

$config->setFilterSchemaAssetsExpression('(foo)');

Creating MySQL Tables now defaults to UTF-8

If you are creating a new MySQL Table through the Doctrine API, charset/collate are now set to 'utf8'/'utf8_unicode_ci' by default. Previously the MySQL server defaults were used.

Upgrade to 2.2

Doctrine\DBAL\Connection#insert and Doctrine\DBAL\Connection#update

Both methods now accept an optional last parameter $types with binding types of the values passed. This can potentially break child classes that have overwritten one of these methods.

Doctrine\DBAL\Connection#executeQuery

Doctrine\DBAL\Connection#executeQuery() got a new last parameter "QueryCacheProfile $qcp"

Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\Statement split

The Driver statement was split into a ResultStatement and the normal statement extending from it. This separates the configuration and the retrieval API from a statement.

MsSql Platform/SchemaManager renamed

The MsSqlPlatform was renamed to SQLServerPlatform, the MsSqlSchemaManager was renamed to SQLServerSchemaManager.

Cleanup SQLServer Platform version mess

DBAL 2.1 and before were actually only compatible to SQL Server 2008, not earlier versions. Still other parts of the platform did use old features instead of newly introduced datatypes in SQL Server 2005. Starting with DBAL 2.2 you can pick the Doctrine abstraction exactly matching your SQL Server version.

The PDO SqlSrv driver now uses the new SQLServer2008Platform as default platform. This platform uses new features of SQL Server as of version 2008. This also includes a switch in the used fields for "text" and "blob" field types to:

"text" => "VARCHAR(MAX)"
"blob" => "VARBINARY(MAX)"

Additionally SQLServerPlatform in DBAL 2.1 and before used "DATE", "TIME" and "DATETIME2" for dates. This types are only available since version 2008 and the introduction of an explicit SQLServer 2008 platform makes this dependency explicit.

An SQLServer2005Platform was also introduced to differentiate the features between versions 2003, earlier and 2005.

With this change the SQLServerPlatform now throws an exception for using limit queries with an offset, since SQLServer 2003 and lower do not support this feature.

To use the old SQL Server Platform, because you are using SQL Server 2003 and below use the following configuration code:

use Doctrine\DBAL\DriverManager;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\SQLServerPlatform;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\SQLServer2005Platform;

// You are using SQL Server 2003 or earlier
$conn = DriverManager::getConnection(array(
    'driver' => 'pdo_sqlsrv',
    'platform' => new SQLServerPlatform()
    // .. additional parameters
));

// You are using SQL Server 2005
$conn = DriverManager::getConnection(array(
    'driver' => 'pdo_sqlsrv',
    'platform' => new SQLServer2005Platform()
    // .. additional parameters
));

// You are using SQL Server 2008
$conn = DriverManager::getConnection(array(
    'driver' => 'pdo_sqlsrv',
    // 2008 is default platform
    // .. additional parameters
));
