One problem with database compatibility is that many databases differ in their behaviour of how the result set of a
|
|
query is returned. MySql leaves the field names unchanged, which means if you issue a query of the form
|
|
"SELECT myField FROM ..." then the result set will contain the field 'myField'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, this is just the way MySql and some other databases do it. Postgres for example returns all field names in lowercase
|
|
whilst Oracle returns all field names in uppercase. "So what? In what way does this influence me when using Doctrine?",
|
|
you may ask. Fortunately, you don't have to bother about that issue at all.
|

Doctrine takes care of this problem
|
|
transparently. That means if you define a derived Record class and define a field called 'myField' you will always
|
|
access it through $record->myField (or $record['myField'], whatever you prefer) no matter whether you're using MySql
|
|
or Postgres or Oracle ect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In short: You can name your fields however you want, using under_scores, camelCase or whatever you prefer.
