Hello team!

I was about to try your project for testing purposes, and I realized that there were no release for 8 years, no commit for 3 years, no issue/PR activity.

Would it be worth working back on it? Does anyone have any knowledge regarding OrientDB?

I'm currently trying to update the project on my machine, but maybe there's another alternative for an ODM? :wink:

Also, since the project was adapted to super old versions of Symfony and Doctrine, I think we can expect a hell lot of work to upgrade it, hence my question :slightly_smiling_face:

It seems https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb itself is alive and well, but perhaps hasn't got to the popularity required to maintain a php library to use it. I certainly haven't experimented with it for a long time now, although it does look promising doesn't it!? I am also interested if people in this community have found an alternative they prefer.

Hola, one of the original authors here!

The project is definitely unmaintained and unfinished -- last time I worked on it I still knew how to write PHP code, something I can't say nowadays 😀 if I remember correctly, we also implemented connections to orient through its HTTP interface, while in production it might honestly be worth using the binary protocol which should perform much faster.

I would suggest looking at some of the drivers orientdb recommends on their official site.

Thanks for the answers 😊

Indeed maybe the whole ODM/ORM implementation might have to be rewritten using the native OrientDB SDK, I guess.

Maybe I'll find time for that in the future, alongside the dozens of other projects I have 😅
