How to use sqlite database on symfony2 project?

Question

In a Symfony2 project, you can configure the databases connections at the app/config/parameters.ini file. Documentation states that you can use, among others, sqlite3 PDO dr

Answer 1

I've found that if I add a path line pointing at the database_name to my config.yml, sqlite seems to pick that up, and MySQL doesn't seem to complain.

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver:   %database_driver%
        host:     %database_host%
        port:     %database_port%
        dbname:   %database_name%
        path:     %database_name%
        user:     %database_user%
        password: %database_password%
        charset:  UTF8

This means you can still keep all database information in the parameters file, you don't need separate configs depending on which database you are using.
