Description
This is a discrepancy between the Symfony book and Symfony version 2.8 (at least) which is very disturbing for someone trying Symfony with PostgreSQL for the first time.
On page http://symfony.com/doc/2.8/book/doctrine.html It is explained that setting database_driver on app/config/parameters.yml allows to choose a driver.
# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
database_driver: pdo_mysql
However, parameter database_driver is not used (at least in version 2.8) since in app/config/config.yml you find that pdo_mysql is wired:
# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
dbal:
driver: pdo_mysql
There is no intention to add a database_driver parameter (see symfony/symfony#19196), so please correct the corresponding page on the symfony book.
