   7 Doctrine 2 is an object-relational mapper (ORM) for PHP 5.3.2+ that provides transparent persistence
   8 for PHP objects. It sits on top of a powerful database abstraction layer (DBAL). One of its key features
   9 is the option to write database queries in a proprietary object oriented SQL dialect called Doctrine Query Language (DQL),
  10 inspired by Hibernates HQL. This provides developers with a powerful alternative to SQL that maintains flexibility
  11 without requiring unnecessary code duplication.
