CockroachDB Driver

CockroachDB Driver is a Doctrine DBAL Driver and ORM patcher to handle incompatibilities with PostgreSQL.

Big Thanks To

Lapay Group for their CockroachDB Doctrine driver, which this driver is based on
media.monks for the idea to patch FQCNs using a composer script
sweoggy for his contributions to use CockroachDB's built in SERIAL generator

CockroachDB Quick Setup Guide

Usage

Configuration

# doctrine.yaml
doctrine:
    dbal:
        user: <user>
        port: <port(26257)>
        host: <host>
        dbname: <dbname>
        sslmode: verify-full
        sslrootcert: <path-to-ca.crt>
        sslcert: <path-to-user.crt>
        sslkey: <path-to-user.key>
        driver: pdo_pgsql
        driver_class: DoctrineCockroachDB\Driver\CockroachDBDriver

(Optional) Use modified BasicEntityPersister and SerialGenerator

For improved compatibility and performance we recommend you to override Doctrine ORM's default BasicEntityPersister with the custom one provided with this package. When using the custom BasicEntityPersister you can use CockroachDB's built in SERIAL generator for primary keys, which performs vastly better than Doctrine's recommended SequenceGenerator.

Overriding is done by adding the composer script DoctrineCockroachDB\\Composer\\PatchDoctrine::overrideBasicEntityPersister to the composer.json script sections post-install-cmd and post-update-cmd:

{
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "DoctrineCockroachDB\\Composer\\PatchDoctrine::overrideBasicEntityPersister"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "DoctrineCockroachDB\\Composer\\PatchDoctrine::overrideBasicEntityPersister"
        ]
    }
}

Then change your entities to use the SerialGenerator provided by this package:

<?php

use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Types;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use DoctrineCockroachDB\ORM\Id\SerialGenerator;

#[Entity]
#[Table]
class Entity
{
    #[ORM\Id]
    #[ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy: 'CUSTOM')]
    #[ORM\CustomIdGenerator(class: SerialGenerator::class)]
    #[ORM\Column(name: 'id', type: Types::INTEGER, options: ['unsigned' => true])]
    private int $id;
}

Finally, you should register the DoctrineCockroachDB\ORM\Listener\AddDefaultToSerialGeneratorListener and DoctrineCockroachDB\ORM\Listener\RemoveDefaultFromForeignKeysListener (in that order) to get proper default values for the identifiers using SerialGenerator when using Doctrine ORM.

Troubleshooting

ERROR: currval(): could not determine data type of placeholder $1

This is caused by using the IdentityGenerator as GenerateValue strategy and Doctrine ORM's default BasicEntityPersister. It is solved by using our custom BasicEntityPersister and SerialGenerator, see above for instructions.

Unit testing

Start an insecure single-node instance:

cockroach start-single-node \
  --store='type=mem,size=1GB' \
  --log='sinks: {stderr: {channels: [DEV]}}' \
  --listen-addr=127.0.0.1:26257 \
  --insecure \
  --accept-sql-without-tls

Connect to CockroachDB:

cockroach sql --host=127.0.0.1:26257 --insecure

Create the user & database for the tests:

CREATE USER "doctrine_tests";
CREATE DATABASE doctrine_tests OWNER "doctrine_tests";
USE doctrine_tests;
CREATE SCHEMA doctrine_tests AUTHORIZATION "doctrine_tests";
ALTER DATABASE doctrine_tests SET search_path = doctrine_tests;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE doctrine_tests TO "doctrine_tests";
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SCHEMA doctrine_tests TO "doctrine_tests";
CREATE TABLE doctrine_tests.TestEntity (an_identifier SERIAL4 NOT NULL, second_identifier SERIAL4 NOT NULL, a_string_column VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL);
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA doctrine_tests TO "doctrine_tests";
