Jira issue originally created by user Chealer:

I do not know Doctrine. I was evaluating it as a code generator in a "Database First" workflow, as described in http://doctrine-orm.readthedocs.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/tutorials/getting-started-database.html

The page ends with:
bq. We spinned off a subproject, Doctrine CodeGenerator, that will fill this gap and allow you to do Database First development.

I managed to find a Doctrine CodeGenerator project using Google at https://github.com/beberlei/DoctrineCodeGenerator.

If this is the project, it should be linked... or not. That project describes itself as a prototype and was apparently not modified since 2012, but claims to have 0 issues. More importantly, I do not understand half of what its README says. Perhaps the example at the end makes some sense to someone who already knows Doctrine, but for me, this is unusable. I would have no clue where to go to start using Doctrine CodeGenerator.

If some refuse to remove the mention of Doctrine CodeGenerator, I would strongly recommend to add a link and a clear warning about the project's status. Judging from the documentation of the "real Doctrine", this project's quality seems extremely far from Doctrine's.

We have the code generator as part of export from db to php.
Closing as invalid.
