Doctrine DBAL Cache Adapter

Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 6.3, which is no longer maintained.

Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 7.1 (the current stable version).

The Doctrine DBAL adapters store the cache items in a table of an SQL database.

Note

This adapter implements PruneableInterface, allowing for manual pruning of expired cache entries by calling the prune() method.

The DoctrineDbalAdapter requires a Doctrine DBAL Connection, or Doctrine DBAL URL as its first parameter. You can pass a namespace, default cache lifetime, and options array as the other optional arguments:

        use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\DoctrineDbalAdapter;

$cache = new DoctrineDbalAdapter(

    // a Doctrine DBAL connection or DBAL URL
    $databaseConnectionOrURL,

    // the string prefixed to the keys of the items stored in this cache
    $namespace = '',

    // the default lifetime (in seconds) for cache items that do not define their
    // own lifetime, with a value 0 causing items to be stored indefinitely (i.e.
    // until the database table is truncated or its rows are otherwise deleted)
    $defaultLifetime = 0,

    // an array of options for configuring the database table and connection
    $options = []
);
    

Note

DBAL Connection are lazy-loaded by default; some additional options may be necessary to detect the database engine and version without opening the connection.
