Symfony 2.6 with MSSQL Doctrine failed to update Database

Question

Hey Community,

i have a Problem with Symfony 2 and Doctrine with a MSSQL-Database. On "php app/console doctrine:database:create" and "php app/console doctrine:schema:create" all fine. But on "php app/console doctrine:schema:update" without any changes in ORM-Mapper or Entity display following Error:

[Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException]
An exception occurred while executing 'ALTER TABLE product DROP CONSTRAINT DF_D34A04AD_A5D6E63E':
SQLSTATE[42000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]DF_D34A04AD_A5D6E63E is not a restriction.

PLEASE HELP

When i delete the restriction manually from the table named "DF__product__timesta__38996AB5", its a new Error:

[Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException]
An exception occurred while executing 'ALTER TABLE product ALTER COLUMN timestamp DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP':
SQLSTATE[42000]: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the DEFAULT keyword.

PLEASE HELP

This is not a valid syntax for adding default to a column:

ALTER TABLE product ALTER COLUMN timestamp DATETIME DEFAULT
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

You should use

ALTER TABLE product ADD DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
 FOR [timestamp]

Or you can use a name for your constraint:

ALTER TABLE product ADD CONSTRAINT DF_TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
 FOR [timestamp]

The first error that you receive is strange because when you try to drop non-existing constraint you should get

'DF_D34A04AD_A5D6E63E' is not a constraint.

The cause is you use wrong constraint name. It does not seem automatically generated default constraint name as when it's generated table name + field name are used. So check the constraint name once again.
