Question

I have table "my_table" with some fields. I want generate Entity in MyBundle used "my_table". But I don't want recreate all entities in MyBundle. How can I do this?

Accepted Answer

Here is the way you can do it,

First step, ask Doctrine to introspect the database and generate the corresponding xml or yml metadata files.

```
php app/console doctrine:mapping:convert [xml|yml] Path/To/MyBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/metadata/orm --from-database --force --filter=MyTable
```

Second step, ask Doctrine to import the schema and build related entity classes by executing the following two commands.

```
php app/console doctrine:mapping:import MyBundle [xml|yml|annotation] --filter=MyTable

php app/console doctrine:generate:entities Path\To\MyBundle\EntityFolder\MyTable
```

Take a look at the How to generate Entities from an Existing Database section of the documentation
