Help

Convert mapping information between supported formats.

This is an execute one-time command. It should not be necessary for
you to call this method multiple times, especially when using the --from-database
flag.

Converting an existing database schema into mapping files only solves about 70-80%
of the necessary mapping information. Additionally the detection from an existing
database cannot detect inverse associations, inheritance types,
entities with foreign keys as primary keys and many of the
semantical operations on associations such as cascade.

Hint: There is no need to convert YAML or XML mapping files to annotations
every time you make changes. All mapping drivers are first class citizens
in Doctrine 2 and can be used as runtime mapping for the ORM.

Hint: If you have a database with tables that should not be managed
by the ORM, you can use a DBAL functionality to filter the tables and sequences down
on a global level:

    $config->setSchemaAssetsFilter(function (string|AbstractAsset $assetName): bool {
        if ($assetName instanceof AbstractAsset) {
            $assetName = $assetName->getName();
        }

        return !str_starts_with($assetName, 'audit_');
    });
