Doctrine database configuration error

[AscanderS]

This is a discrepancy between the Symfony book and Symfony version 2.8 (at least) which is very disturbing for someone trying Symfony with PostgreSQL for the first time.

On page http://symfony.com/doc/2.8/book/doctrine.html It is explained that setting database_driver on app/config/parameters.yml allows to choose a driver.

# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
    database_driver:    pdo_mysql

However, parameter database_driver is not used (at least in version 2.8) since in app/config/config.yml you find that pdo_mysql is wired:

# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver:   pdo_mysql

There is no intention to add a database_driver parameter (see symfony/symfony#19196), so please correct the corresponding page on the symfony book.

Fixed by #6689 (as mentioned in your previous issue)

Thanks. I hope I'll eventually appear fixed on the Symfony Book from version 2.8 (at least) on.
Not the case for now.

The fix has been merged and will soon be visible on symfony.com. Thanks for reporting it @AscanderS and for fixing it @iltar!
