Unknown column type "dateinterval" requested

[Kwadz]

The documentation mentions we can use dateinterval type.

However when I try to use it like:

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="dateinterval")
     */
    private $updateInterval;

I get:

  [Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException]
  Unknown column type "dateinterval" requested. Any Doctrine type that you use has to be registered with \Doctrine\
  DBAL\Types\Type::addType(). You can get a list of all the known types with \Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::getTypesMap
  (). If this error occurs during database introspection then you might have forgot to register all database types
  for a Doctrine Type. Use AbstractPlatform#registerDoctrineTypeMapping() or have your custom types implement Type#
  getMappedDatabaseTypes(). If the type name is empty you might have a problem with the cache or forgot some mappin
  g information.

I am using doctrine/dbal v2.5.12 and doctrine/orm v2.5.6.

@Kwadz that's only for DBAL master (2.6) as per doctrine/dbal#854

[Kwadz]

@Ocramius In this case, to avoid confusion, may be we should mention it in the doc like it's done for datetime-immutable with:

Available since version 2.6.

@Kwadz that's a long standing issue with the documentation in general: we want to split it at RST compilation level, but never managed to do so.
