    <p><code>Tag</code> table has a relation to the <code>Category</code> table as Many-to-One (many tags are related to one category, or one category has many tags).</p> <p>I should get normal Many-to-One relation from table <code>Tag</code> to the table <code>Category</code>. It should be based on the ID from the table <code>Category</code> (which is named <code>id_category</code>). However, instead I'm getting... a <code>VARCHAR(255)</code> column in table <code>Tag</code>!</p> <p>Here's part of code from Tag entity:</p> <pre><code>/** * @ORM\Column(nullable=true) * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Category") * @ORM\JoinColumn(name="id_category", referencedColumnName="id_category") */ protected $category; </code></pre> <p>Category entity doesn't have appropriate related "tag" column, because it's uni-directional relation. Anyway, here's how <code>id_category</code> is declared in the <code>Category</code> entity (though I don't think it's important):</p> <pre><code>/** * @ORM\Id * @ORM\Column(type="integer") * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO") */ protected $id_category; </code></pre> <p>The result I'm getting by the Doctrine2's command <code>update --dump-sql</code> is the following:</p> <pre class="lang-sql prettyprint-override"><code>ALTER TABLE Tag ADD category VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL </code></pre> <p>Doctrine gives me <code>VARCHAR</code>, instead of <code>INTEGER</code> as id with foreign key. Does anyone know why?<br> How to <em>tell</em> Symfony to make a relation in this case?</p>

    3. COIt's not related to SF2 but to Doctrine2 as the command belongs to `DoctrineORMBundle`. Something strange is that the updated field should be named `id_category`, not `category`...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
