Can Doctrine 1.2 handle custom data type like geometry data type?

Question

I want to create tables that contain geometry data types (Mysql spatial extension). which steps are needed to map these with Doctrine 1.2?

Any idea how is the codes of yaml mapping and corresponding modal class for custom data mapping with Doctrine 1.2?

Answer 1

Doctrine is just a mapper. You may model anything you want if your database supports it. But no guarantee this will be portable to all the databases supported by Doctrine.

For basic spatial analysis, there is a Doctrine Locatable extension.
