+### Schema Tool
+
+The schema tool in Doctrine 2 allows you to easily drop and your create your 
+database schemas for your mapping information.
+
+You can easily create your initial schema from mapping information:
+
+    php console doctrine:schema-tool --create
+
+Or if you want to then drop your schema you can do:
+
+    php console doctrine:schema-tool --drop
+
+If you want to re-create it (drop and create) you can use:
+
+    php console doctrine:schema-tool --re-create
+
+Now the scenario arrises where you want to change your mapping information and
+update your database without blowing away everything and losing your existing data.
+You can do the following for that:
+
+    php console doctrine:schema-tool --update
+
+> **TIP**
+> The above will not drop anything from your database schema. To drop the remaining
+> things from your schema you need to use the **--complete-update** option.
+>
+>     php console doctrine:schema-tool --complete-update
+
+### Doctrine Build Command

 your mapping information and use **doctrine:build --all** to re-build your

+### Doctrine Init Entity Command
+
+You can easily initialize a new Doctrine entity for a bundle by using the 
+**doctrine:init-bundle** command:
+
+    $ php console doctrine:init-entity --bundle="Bundle\MySampleBundle" --entity="User\Group"
+
+Now if you have a look inside the bundle you will see that you have a **Group** class
+located here **Bundle/MySampleBundle/Entities/User/Group.php**.
+
+Now you can customize the mapping information for the entity by editing the metadata
+information inside **Bundle/MySampleBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/metadata** and
+just update your database schema:
+
+    $ php console doctrine:schema-tool --update
