Doctrine 2 Master / Slave connections

Question

I'm looking at different ways of settings up Doctrine 2 to use master/slave connections usng MySQL. The set up would be so that there is one master database with multiple slaves. All SELECT statements should come from a random live slave and any UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE statements would always be delegated to the master connection.

Has anyone set up Doctine 2 in this way or have any ideas on how to approach it?

Answer 1

Doctrine2 now has a MasterSlaveConnection in the \Doctrine\DBAL\Connections namespace.

EDIT: Dont read below unless this piece doesnt work

Dont need an overloader anymore, the dbal configs will take the slaves by itself. e.g.

connections:
            default:
                driver:   %database_driver%
                host:     %database_host%
                dbname:   %database_name%
                user:     %database_user%
                password: %database_password%
                slaves:
                    slave1:
                        host:     %database_slave1%
                        dbname:   %database_name%
                        user:     %database_user%
                        password: %database_password%

If the above doesnt work, try this

Something simple, just put pipes (|) between each host

default:
                driver:   %database_driver%
                host:     %database_host%|%database_slave%|%database_slave2%
                port:     3306
                dbname:   %database_name%
                user:     %database_user%
                password: %database_password%
