Thanks for your suggestion Lawrence. But I don't like it because it requires an extra step and breaks the built-in task doctrine:build-all-reload-test-all (because I need my views created between DB build and tests).
Thanks to the tutorial published on symfony blog yesterday, I found a way to get a more integrated solution, using the Event System. In my project configuration I register a new listener on post_command event (which is a built-in event of sfTask) $this->dispatcher->connect('command.post_command', array('DatabaseInit', 'createViews')); Then I have a hook to create my views exactly where I want: class DatabaseInit { static public function createViews(sfEvent $event) { if( $event->getSubject() instanceof sfDoctrineInsertSqlTask ) { // create views here } } } Damien 2009/2/21 Lawrence Krubner <lkrub...@geocities.com> > > Damien Lepage wrote: > > Thanks for your help David. > > However, it seems to be different for doctrine.
