Doctrine is now im 2.0 and has switched from Active Record to a Data Mapper paradigm http://www.doctrine-project.org/docs/orm/2.0/en/ Scragz (talk) 07:53, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Proprietary SQL dialect ?
In the caput is:
 * Doctrine is an object-relational mapper (ORM) for PHP that provides persistence for PHP objects. It sits on top of a database abstraction layer. One of Doctrine's key features is the option to write database queries in a proprietary object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL)

The problem is that proprietary in software contexts is usually meant to be "pertaining to a company, that imposes some closed source license upon something". But Doctrine is free-software.

So, my proposal is to rewrite it as:
 * Doctrine is an object-relational mapper (ORM) for PHP that provides persistence for PHP objects. It sits on top of a database abstraction layer. One of Doctrine's key features is the option to write database queries in an original object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL)

What do main article contributors think ?

Notability
Somebody tagged this article for a potentially non-notable topic. I strongly disagree with that opinion and there is no rationale here why the article is tagged. To me it looks like someone did it just because of that "PHP is dead, everything created with it is obsolete and non-notable" tune. This piece of software is used by a quite notable piece of software, Symfony and it has pretty active social groups (IRC, mailing lists) formed around it.

Unless someone produces an explanation why this should be tagged as non-notable, I'll untag the article in a week or so. Kind regards, Arny (talk) 17:00, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Doctrine is currently the most used, thus most notable ORM and DBAL in the PHP ecosystem. Confirming your points, I remove the non-notable flag. --Greenhat72 (talk) 11:02, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
