README

Doctrine plugin to save DateTime objects with microseconds in database.

Installation

Via composer

composer require bartoszbartniczak/doctrine-datetime-with-microseconds

How does it work?

Standard Doctrine behavior

Doctrine saves \DateTime to the database correctly, but omits the microseconds, which are part of the \DateTime object.

Standard doctrine mapping:

The Doctrine ORM saves the date, but without microseconds:

In some systems this behavior is not expected. There are some situations where the microseconds are very important information, so they should be persisted.

Caution: Not every Database system supports Timestamps with microseconds.

How to use?

This library resolves problem of persisting microseconds with Doctrine.

Mapping

Instead of using standard Doctrine type datetime, you can use datetime_microseconds

After persisting object, you should have seen datetime value with microseconds saved.
