Symfony Doctrine Schema Update Little Helper

A simple shell script to avoid the call of
php app/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql
then
php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Installation

install this file into your shell PATH scope.

Use

1. type doctrine_schema_update.
2. check your schema modifications
3. type y if you effectively want your schema to be updated
4. or n otherwise
5. that's it 😃

tips

• add alias dsu="doctrine_schema_update" to your shell customization to just launch the script by typing dsu
• if nothing to update, the script terminates by itself
• as a new shell script builder, I'm happy to receive any comment to improve these lines
