Examine the use of Doctrine DBAL

[petsagouris]

The Doctrine DBAL is an amazing piece of code that makes many things for the developer easier to happen. I invite you to take a look at the architecture page of the documentation and have a look around there in general.

Supporting more than MySQL is something we should all strive for, even though there are no guarantees I deeply believe that it could be a great thing to be able to achieve.

Furthermore there is the Schema management that can at last make the SQL for most upgrade workflows a thing of the past by introducing amore programmatic way of dealing with them.

Note: I am not talking about the ORM part of Doctrine, just the DBAL which can be used indepentendly of the ORM.
