Doctrine2: How to set all tables to collate with UTF8

Question

I am using Doctrine with Symfony2. My config.yml file looks something like this:-

Doctrine Configuration

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver: %data         


        

Answer 1

Since DoctrineBundle 2.0, utf8mb4 is the default value for MySQL. So, you don't need to configure anything anymore.

See https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineBundle/blob/master/UPGRADE-2.0.md
