I'm using Doctrine2 with Laravel5 and MySql and have some problem with GROUP_CONCAT(), DATE_FORMAT().
I have found the solution by install extension Beberlei DoctrineExtensions.
And my question is "Why Doctrine as the big library but not support that normal function in core?"

Doctrine supports mutiple database engines, not just MySQL.
The functions you mention are specific to MySQL; other database engines don't have them. The core of Doctrine supports multiple engines, and the extension you mention adds MySQL-specific support.
