Doctrine ORM on EAV Tables

I was planning on creating my application and use an ORM for the models, but the thing is, there's a part of the database which uses Entity-Attribute-Value Tables.

I pretty liked Doctrine ORM but I don't know if it is possible to maybe create classes that would look like any ordinary doctrine entity, when the table actually hooked up to is of EAV style.

Would it be possible to use Doctrine on this, and if so, how?

Solution

  • definitely possible:

    Have relationships like this: Object (one to many) -> AttributeValue -> Many to One -> AttributeType
