This is a blog post copied from John's Website - please feel free to join him there and post comments. He has set up openid, so you can post there with your livejournal account using your openid, which is the same as your journal url minus the http://. You can find this entry at http://www.jcfiala.net/blog/2014/08/29/using-doctrine-migrations-part-2-adding-data-migration.
(If you missed it, my previous post on this topic was Using Doctrine Migrations Without the ORM.)
So my previous blog post laid down a good start on how to use Doctrine to move changes to the database, but soon I ran into a new problem - what about when you have data to change in addition to changing the structure of the database? For instance, my first try at this was putting a default row of data into a new table, or maybe putting initial data into a new column?
My first try was simple, but unfortunately not quite right, I used the addSql() command:
<?php
class Version20140828145153 extends AbstractMigration
{
public function up(Schema $schema) {
<code that creates a new table>
$this->addSql("INSERT INTO <table> (this, that, theother) VALUES (...)");
}
...
?>
