Dbal session storage
Adds a session storage based on Doctrine DBAL.

guess it would be nice to then provide a service inside the DoctrineBundle that reuses a global DoctrineDBAL connection, guess the connection to use would then need to be configured via the doctrine app config.

I haven't found a sane way to provide automatic configuration that's why I left this to the user to implement. It's also relatively easy:
```yml
services:
dbal_session_storage:
class: Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\HttpFoundation\DbalSessionStorage
arguments: [@database_connection]
framework:
session: { storage_id: dbal_session_storage }

@lsmith77 There is an issue about reusing another DBAL connection: if the transaction is aborted by the ORM, the session could be aborted too as you cannot have 2 independent transactions AFAIK
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2011/09/14 13:59:57 -0700
not sure how this is relevant. i mean why does the transaction need to be left open? just begin, write, commit ..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

and what if the transaction of the ORM is still opened (let's say you use SimpleThingsTransactionalBundle) ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2011/09/14 14:06:12 -0700
well thats a bit of an edge case imho. also i wonder if SimpleThingsTransactionalBundle shouldn't make sure that its transaction is closed before the session is written.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It closes them.

@schmittjoh Does it close them **before** writing the session ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think either commit, or rollback is called, but @beberlei can probably answer that better.
Anyway, it is not really related to this PR because it is up to the user which connection is used.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stof at 2011/09/14 14:58:48 -0700
I know that one of them is called. But if they are called after the session is persisted to the DB, a rollback is an issue as it will rollback the session persistence as well.
The PR is indeed fine. What need to be changed is the doc about how to use it, to advocate using a separate connection instead of the default one (which is used in your example)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no doc yet, but lets see what @fabpot thinks of all of this first.

Any benefits over using the PDO session storage?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2011/09/15 05:00:50 -0700
cleaner code, potentially better support for niche RDBMS, centralized logging and finally afaik DoctrineDBAL has emulation for nested transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by schmittjoh at 2011/09/15 05:11:00 -0700
The benefits (for me) are:
- logging queries
- better interoperability with existing build processes (migrations)
- better database interoperability
- re-using existing connection (I don't have the problem that Stof mentioned above)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The nested transactions is the problem here as @stof already said. If you reuse the default connection and use nested transactions that fail then this will make your session not save. That is why the docs should recommend you create a second connection for a dbal based session storage, even if it is using the same database. The PDO session storage would be a second connection besides DBAL aswell.
I like the migrations/schema hook though to create the table automatically through schema commands.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok, looks good to me. Can you add some documentation about its usage (like the possible keys for options)? Is it possible to add some tests too?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

why did you close this?

I can't put more time into this PR, however I'm using it for some time already, and there shouldn't be any major issues as it is basically copy/paste from the PDO session.
