I had an existing PostgreSQL database with a table created like this:
CREATE TABLE product (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL)
This table is described in a YML Doctrine2 file within a Symfony2 project:
Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Product:
type: entity
table: product
fields:
id:
id: true
type: integer
nullable: false
generator:
strategy: SEQUENCE
name:
type: string
length: 100
nullable: true
When I run for the first time the Doctrine Migrations diff task, I should get a versioning file with no data in the up and down methods. But what I get instead is this :
// ...
class Version20120807125808 extends AbstractMigration
{
public function up(Schema $schema)
{
// this up() migration is autogenerated, please modify it to your needs
$this->abortIf($this->connection->getDatabasePlatform()->getName() != "postgresql");
$this->addSql("ALTER TABLE product ALTER id DROP DEFAULT");
}
public function down(Schema $schema)
{
// this down() migration is autogenerated, please modify it to your needs
$this->abortIf($this->connection->getDatabasePlatform()->getName() != "postgresql");
$this->addSql("CREATE SEQUENCE product_id_seq");
$this->addSql("SELECT setval('product_id_seq', (SELECT MAX(id) FROM product))");
$this->addSql("ALTER TABLE product ALTER id SET DEFAULT nextval('product_id_seq')");
}
}
Why are differences detected? How can I avoid this? I tried several sequence strategies with no success.
