How to define a single entity in doctrine annotations, map it and update the database in Symfony2

So. I already have some existing Entity PHP files, which have had their getters and setters done and been applied to the database. Now I want to add a new entity, get it's getters and setters done and applied to the database. This is what my Entity annotation file looks like:

MyEntity.php

<?php
// src/Me/MyBundle/Entity/MyEntity.php

namespace Me\MyBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="MyEntity")
 */
class MyEntity
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer", unique=true)
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $MyEntityID;
}

What commands should I use to do just 1 entity, rather than all of them?

e.g. to do all of them, I do this under PHP CLI:

php app/console doctrine:generate:entities Me\MyBundle

And then, using sudo Bash and then su - www-data

php app/console doctrine:schema:create

(I have to do this as www-data otherwise I get a permission denied from dev.log)

Although that requires me to delete the existing tables. I could use:

php app/console doctrine:schema:update

But that complains unless I use --force

What are the commands I need to create getters and setter for this one, new, entity and add it to the DB.

Thanks.

For generating getters and setter to single entities you give them in a shorthand notation to the command:

php app/console doctrine:generate:entities MyCustomBundle:User
php app/console doctrine:generate:entities MyCustomBundle/Entity/User

for upgrading existing databases you should take a deep look at the DoctrineMigrationsBundle and generate a migration class, which does the update.
