A little Doctrine DBAL driver for PostgreSQL connections. Basically, we've taken to using certain options in the libpq library that Doctrine's built in DSN constructor is opinionated about. Notably, *sslcert* or *service*, whereby we can use a different SSL certificate for *cert* authentication to Postgres. (BTW - if you just have one cert/key per user, they can just use the canon name of `~/.postgresql/server.crt`, `server.key`, & `root.crt` and you don't need this module.

If you've never used ['service', it's a lovely way to go](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/libpq-pgservice.html). You can also do your command line connection with `$ psql service=mydb` if you set that up.

Now, if you're using Doctrine more directly, the fact that it can't handle some of these advanced configuration options isn't such a problem. Write your options into `new PDO(...)` and pass it to Doctrine. Not so easy if you're wanting to use something higher level (Symfony, etc).

I'm pulling from the driverOptions array for bare Doctrine DBAL because I didn't want to add more options to the Symfony Doctrine bundle's top-level configuration schema.

Example (Symfony - config.yml)
------------------------------

[](#example-symfony---configyml)

```
doctrine:
    dbal:
      driver_class: Shorock\Doctrine\FlexPDOPgSql\Driver
      user: shorock
      options:
        service: libdb
	# or
	# dsn: "pgsql:dbname=libdb.you.edu sslcert=/etc/pki/alternate.crt sslkey=/etc/pki/alternate.key"

```
