I just have upgraded to symfony 2.7, and have a annoying behaviour.
Some connections in my config.yml are optionables, and describe foreign databases that are not in
Doctrine is trying to determine the Database Platform Version.
You can avoid this behaviour adding in the Doctrine DBAL Configuration the server version. From the doc:
The server_version option was added in Doctrine DBAL 2.5, which is used by DoctrineBundle 1.3. The value of this option should match your database server version (use postgres -V or psql -V command to find your PostgreSQL version and mysql -V to get your MySQL version).
If you don't define this option and you haven't created your database yet, you may get PDOException errors because Doctrine will try to guess the database server version automatically and none is available.
As example:
#config.yml
doctrine:
dbal:
...
server_version: 5.6
Hope this help
