Database cleaning in Symfony2 tests

Is there a standard way of cleaning your database before (or after) each test when you're testing with Symfony2/PHPUnit? There seems to be a standard, obvious way to do this in Rails but I haven't found an analog in the Symfony community.

If you are using the LiipFunctionalTestBundle, database is purged on each loading of fixtures. If you don't need any fixtures loaded, you can still call $this->loadFixtures(array()); ("load no fixtures") to have database purged.

You can either purge the tables with Doctrine's data purger or rebuild the schema before every test.

Purger is part of data-fixtures package: https://github.com/doctrine/data-fixtures

I once wrote a KernelAwareTest which rebuilds the schema before every test: https://gist.github.com/1319290
