symfony doesn't like PostgreSQL with doctrine:

Question

I'm having a weird thing happen when I run doctrine:build-schema with my PostgreSQL database. It should just work, of course, but instead I'm getting this:

jason@ve:~/salon$ ./symfony doctrine:build-schema
>> doctrine  generating yaml schema from database

Any idea why this is happening?

The crappy part is that even if I can fix the SQL query, the real problem is that symfony/Doctrine is not working as expected. Doctrine claims to support PostgreSQL it appears that other people are using PostgreSQL with build-schema without problems, so this is weird.

I'm on symfony 1.4.8 and Doctrine 1.2.

Answer 1

The t.typtype clause doesn't make any sense there. The query is broken in that regard. You should report this to the authors.

Answer 2

The solution is published here: http://trac.symfony-project.org/ticket/9152
