You can write your fixtures files manually and load them in to your applications. Below is a sample data.yml fixtures file. You can also split your data fixtures file up in to multiple files. Doctrine will read all fixtures files and parse them, then load all data.
Please see the [doc schema-files :index :name] for the sample models/schema for these example fixtures.

Here is how you would write code to load the data from that data.yml file
The purpose of schema files is to allow you to manage your model definitions directly from a yaml file rather then editing php code. The yaml schema file is parsed and used to generate all your model definitions/classes.
Schema files support all the normal things you would write with manual php code. Component to connection binding, relationships, attributes, templates/behaviors, indexes, etc.
++ Example Schema File
'tableName' and 'className' are optional. If not specified they will be set by the key of the yaml block
Below is an example schema file for generating a set of models.
You will notice in this schema file it is not always necessary to specify the local and foreign parameters on a relationship. If the foreign columns follow the naming patterns, Doctrine can successfully guess each of them.
schema.yml
<code type="yml">

This is the directory structure that would be generated at /path/to/generate/models
This is the directory structure that would be generated at /path/to/generate/models. The base classes contain the actual definitions for the model, and the top level models extend the base and they are only written the first time so you are able to modify them without your additions being overwritten.
