I'm currently about to migrate an Askeet based project from Propel to Doctrine as we need better performance.. My suggestion is to take these steps and it shouldn't be that hard: - Let Doctrine create the model classes from your database, then edit if needed that they have the same name like with Propel. - Setup the relations (or try to use the schema tasks) - Copy your own methods from the Propel model classes and refactor them to work with Doctrine. - Copy your ..Peer classes to your Doctrine model dir, KEEP THEM and refactore the methods to work with Doctrine (Doctrine_Query is what you need). Keeping the ..Peer classes and model class names makes it much easier to migrate an existing project to Doctrine.
