Can Doctrine be used on an existing database?

Question

PHP

There is a legacy code. I would not want to remake the database, but I want to get rid of sql queries and automatically collect objects. I know how you can build new applications with Doctrine, but I'm not sure if you can also use all this for an existing one.

Answer 1

If I didn’t mess up anything and understood you correctly, then you can ..
The algorithm of actions will be something like this:
- create entities for tables from the database
- establish and register their relationships with each other
- Check
- Repeat)
UPD:
I thought about it ..
If it doesn’t matter it will be necessary to find and establish links between themselves, then as an option, you can "generate a database from the Doctrine" and fill in the data from the old database.
